This is huge, and it will have enormous repercussions on the future of the ICC. The entire process was a nightmare. Nobody cared to preserve the integrity of the the institution. Let's try and move on to reconstruction now.

Last day of work before some extended annual leave. It has been an extraordinarily busy academic year, full of teaching and research. I do need a break. See you at the end of August. Enjoy some time off if you can!

Today is International Justice Day and I was interviewed by Anadolu Agency, with great colleagues, on the challanges that the International Criminal Court is currently facing: www.aa.com.tr/en/world/int...

Excited to be again in Nottingham for their flagship International Criminal Justice Conference! I'll present on the ICC Appeals Chamber's approach to conflicts between the Prosecutor and Pre-Trial Chambers in relation to prosecutorial discretion. I look forward to the other presentations!

Ten years ago today I had my viva in Rome and completed my PhD in international law. The day was almost as hot as today. I knew nothing about my future, almost as much as I know today.

Mon 22nd I'll have an online lunch of my book organised by the Bangladesh Society of International Law (info below). I'm very grateful for the invitation and for the opportunity to discuss my research with esteemed colleagues. Everyone is welcome, free registration at tinyurl.com/5284vfe4

Thrilled to invite you to a roundtable for the launch on my book on Sufficient Gravity before the International Criminal Court on 17th June in Milan, with the amazing Chantal Meloni and Gabriele Della Morte. Colossal thanks to Federica Favuzza for having organised this!

Excited to start a 2-week research stay as Visiting Professor at the Department of International, Legal, Historical & Political Studies of the University of Milan. I'm grateful to the amazing Federica Favuzza for the hospitality and I look forward to interacting with colleagues and students.

😍 Next week, join me in Rome for another launch of my book at Sapienza, where I got my PhD 10 years ago, with Alessandra Gianelli, @federicavioli, Aurora Rasi and Alice Riccardi. That same day the Pope will be there, I'll try to have a selfie with him and the book! (joking, maybe)

Judgment now available online. The OfS does not come out of it well at all. Final line: “The Final Decision was vitiated by bias because the OfS approached the decision with a closed mind and had therefore unlawfully predetermined the decision.” www.judiciary.uk/judgments/th...

I'd like to thank colleagues, friends & family for the amazing book launch in London yesterday. Apart from the opportunity to nerd about my book, it was amazing catching up with many people who have been with me over last seven years. I've pics only of the panel, but thank you all. It was incredible

First book launch today in London. Copies arrived. The book is real. I'm a bit emotional - I know there are more important things going on in the world, but a long period of my (academic) life is distilled in here.

Reminder: join me for the launch of my book on Sufficient Gravity before the International Criminal Court on 24 Apr at @UniWestminster with Diane Marie Amann, Olympia Bekou, William Schabas and @marcoroscini. More info and registration at www.westminster.ac.uk/events/book-... @ILaWWestminster

Journalists do their job. The management of this situation at any ICC level has been consistently awful.

Aggression, Plain and Simple: A Response to Shany and Cohen on the Attack on Iran

Legal academics debate the state of international law and international institutions in light of the US-Israel-Iran War.

A couple of days ago I provided my views on the illegality of the attack at the Minab school for L'Orient Le Jour. It might be even more relevant today, unfortunately I have no access to the final publication: today.lorientlejour.com/article/1497...

Glad to kick-off tomorrow this great seminar series on international humanitarian law at the University of Turin. With Federica Favuzza, I'll present on recent developments in the occupation of Pa.lestine. Thanks to Andrea Spagnolo and Gustavo Minervini for the invitation.

Israel and the US are committing again an act of aggression against Iran. There is no possible legal basis whatsoever to justify this unlawful use of force.

We mark today 4 years since Russia launched its full scale aggression against Ukraine. I remember the shock, the sense of impotence. The aggression and other international crimes committed must be punished. Victims deserve justice.

Proofs time! Almost done with my forthcoming book! 🤩
