@markkersten.bsky.socialThere is no dialogue with bullies. What are you saying?!? If you do that, the ICC can pack up and go home, and with it, any notion that the EU is committed to justice and the rule of law globally. Initiate the implementation of the Blocking Statute. Today. #ICC #EU #BlockingStatute

A Nobel Peace Price for Navi Pillay on one hand - on the other, a brazen MOVE to undermine the institution established to end impunity for atrocity crimes. We need more than talk from Canada and its allies.
Show PostNavi Pillay is an absolute legend. I had the honour of having dinner with her once in Nuremberg. Just absolute legend....on the ICTR, ICC, ICJ, human rights bodies, Palestine... Chapeau. #NobelPeacePrize www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...
