Proving Genocide: Patterns of Conduct
In Gambia v. Myanmar, patterns of conduct remain one, but only one, vital source of evidence for inferring genocidal intent.

The International Court of Justice will open public hearings in the genocide case brought by the Gambia against Myanmar next week.
Here is the first of what I hope will be a series of analytical pieces on some technical legal issues which the Court may wish to address.

NSW anti-protest laws were rushed through to keep the peace. They’ve failed
NSW is now one of the most draconian anti-protest jurisdictions in the democratic world, with anti-protest rules that violate international law.

An AIPAC super PAC spent ~2 million on anti-Malinowski ads bc, while generally pro-Israel, he expressed openness to conditions on aid. But they didn't openly attack on Israel; they attacked from left on other issues. Now Mejia, a progressive Dem, may win
