Heute ein sehr interessantes Instrument auf der Setup-Station.
Das ist eine westafrikanische Kora, aus Gambia. Das traditionelle Instrument der Griots oder Jalis (Sänger und Geschichtenerzähler). Gibt es seit hunderten Jahren, das Einzige, was sich verändert hat, sind die Nylonsaiten. Früher waren das Darmsaiten.
Sehr schöner Sound, irgendwas zwischen Harfe und Laute, aber sehr eigenständig.

Watching the last day of #TheGambia presentings its case (January 27, 2026): "There is no quantitative requirement imposed on the actus reus. The 10.000 deaths at least, caused by the Tatmadaw were each a human tragedy, and they were each a genocidal act within the meaning of Art. 2a." #Rohingya
Still catching up with #ICJ hearing #TheGambia vs #Myanmar - on 20 January, 9 judges began to pose questions to the two parties. 1st Q: on the methodology of how #evidence was collected from anonymous witnesses by third parties. 2nd Q (to Myanmar): how many villages destroyed by ARSA/Tatmadaw/Gov.
Against #TheGambia s approach, which "has no basis in the court's case law", Stefan Talmon ( #Myanmar ) positions the court's "inference from a pattern of conduct approach." Question is: Could #hatespeech be relevant to establish a pattern of conduct? #Myanmar: no. #hatespeech has no role to play.
After disputing that the material #TheGambia has provided carries any evidential weight, #Myanmar focused on #ARSA (Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army), an Islamist group active in the camps in #Bangladesh, but - at least acc. to #Myanmar - responsible for many of the killings in #Myanmar, too.
I continue my thread after a 1-week break. All videos of the case #TheGambia vs #Myanmar are available at the #ICJ website. I have summarized the 1st week of the case by highlighting a crucial formal aspect when interpreting the #Genocide Convention: what counts as #evidence and what does not?
