Polakiewicz nævner, at en schweizisk domstol har taget stilling til spørgsmålet om udtræden og genindtræden med forbehold, og at ovenstående var domstolens konklusion. Domstolens analyse af spørgsmålet lød konkret således (materialet kan findes her: bger.ch/ext/eurospid...)

Der pågår en ophedet debat om, hvordan Danmark kan udfordre EMRK's praksis om udvisning af kriminelle udlændinge. I den forbindelse diskuteres muligheden for, at Danmark udtræder af konventionen med det formål at genindtræde med forbehold. En lang 🧵om den debat:

A little strange that the determination does not mention intent at all. The key sentence on the actual determination sounds more like a crimes against humanity-determination on e.g. extermination and persecution. Not saying it’s not correct - just odd to leave it implicit.

Also, as noted by Alex de Waal: ‘“We need to dethrone the concept that if it’s not famine, it’s OK,” he said. “Even if it’s not a famine, it can be truly terrible.”’ I’d add that the same thing can be said about the concept of genocide. See on the pressure/access correction:

Important investigation by Reuters into the hunger situation in Gaza. Essentially, 1) Gaza consistently receives too little aid, 2) aid fluctuates and increases when Israel feels outside pressure, and 3) the IPC may be too conservative in its methodology. See on amount of aid:

Det er godt nok vildt at se, hvordan truslerne fra USA mod Den Internationale Straffedomstol udgør en næsten en-til-en gentagelse fra den sidste Trump-periode (dengang handlede det om både Afghanistan og Israel). Der er desværre rigtig god grund til at tage truslerne alvorligt:

Great. Today, the US vetoed a Security Council resolution demanding a ceasefire and access to aid in Gaza. Two days ago, Russia did the same thing re Sudan. The veto-wielding powers aren't exactly living up to their "primary responsibility" for the maintenance of international peace and security.
