Brilliant series. So good to hear from others who write so well.
When I asked what he’d etch into marble for future writers, he didn’t hesitate: “Be clear. Be concise. Use evidence.”
It’s not a slogan. It’s a way of thinking to make sense of a noisy world.

We need the violence in Sudan to stop, urgent humanitarian access, perpetrators held to account.
I'm allocating $20M to provide urgent life-saving food, health, and protection. I will brief Security Council this morning.

My analysis of some key issues in yesterday's ICJ Advisory Opinion is now online.
I discuss the general context of the Opinion; central aspects in its findings on humanitarian duties; and the different approaches towards the duty to cooperate wrh the UN, as advanced by different judges.

Out tomorrow: Why do states bring cases to the ICJ - even when there’s no jurisdiction? @drnajimagi.bsky.social helps run though the current caseload. Plus with the genocide cases against Myanmar and Israel, are states trying to be useful or just delaying when they make additional interventions?

Long overdue, and perhaps worth being mindful of Crawford's words from 1990(!), still be on point today:
"For a Palestinian State to be properly described as "nasciturus", what is needed is statesmanship on all sides, and respect for the rights of the peoples and states of the region."

Hundreds of humanitarians killed this year. This is more than a statistical spike – it is normalization of violence against our community.
As we open discussions during #UNGA, I urge leaders to stop this era of impunity. Each attack is an attack on all of us. Enough.
