Why Incorporate the ECHR? The Domestic Incentives of Human Rights Commitment

Abstract. Why do consolidated democracies incorporate international human rights law (IHRL) treaties into national law? Existing research suggests contrast

#Gaza - 🙃 "This report contradicts itself because it concludes that there are reasonable grounds to believe violations to international law have occurred, but at the same time that says they're not finding non compliance".

"Israel has not shared complete information to verify...
Because of that, the administration said it still finds credible Israel's assurances that it is using U.S. weapons in accordance with international law".

Yes, it does still apply. Several UN heads of agencies have confirmed that & re-emphasized the application of #IHRL over the last few days.

It would be a war crime for Hamas to do what IDF has alleged (without public proof, & against firm denials by medical staff at these hospitals), but that would still not lessen Israel's responsibilities under international human rights laws and laws of war.

See UN High Commissioner for Human Rights' statement yesterday.

Use "of civilians & civilian objects [by armed groups] to shield themselves from attack is in contravention of the laws of war [Note: Western security official says Israel's allegations can't be verified from what they've provided https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/israel-gaza-al-shifa-hospital-hamas-ca06fd21] Regardless, "does not absolve Israel of its obligation to ensure that civilians are spared–that the principles of distinction, precautions in attack & proportionality are respected. Failure to do so is also in contravention of the laws of war"

UN High Commissioner on Human Rights is the world's top voice on #IHRL.

Far from heeding his warning yesterday, today #Israel responded by increasing its bombing of hospitals.

Half of #Gaza's hospitals are shut down due to Israel's siege & air attack. All 13 hospitals still caring for people have been told by Israel to evacuate because Israel is going to bomb them next. Israel has already killed 198 medical staff, 16 on duty.

Debating the merits and problems of prohibiting harmful traditional practices generally and female genital cutting in particular in class this evening. Captivating discussion and genuinely conflicted students. It was a great class.

Control in the context of chaos: the war in Ukraine and Russia’s jurisdiction under the ECHR

In January 2021, the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights (the Court) issued its long-awaited judgment in Georgia v Russia (II) related to the armed conflict that took place between Georgia and Russia in August 2008, and the continued Russian presence in South Ossetia and Abkhazia. A contentious aspect of the Court’s […]
