In my latest @opiniojuris.bsky.social piece, I analyse the recent ICJ’s decision in the Sudan v. UAE Genocide Case. The case spotlights tensions between erga omnes partes obligations and Art. IX reservations – and what they possibly mean for third-party interventions. Comments are much welcome! :)

New inter-State case filed before the ECtHR! It seems a classical 'diplomatic protection-like’ case, though still relevant: after a busy period with inter-State cases, the Court last received its last Article 33 claim over a year ago, re Ireland v. UK (III). More to see, I guess!
