- “I fear the situation in #Myanmar is heading towards a full-blown conflict. States must not allow the deadly mistakes of the past in #Syria and elsewhere to be repeated.” A terrible warning by head of @UNHumanRights @mbachelet on #WhatsHappeningInMyanmarMYANMAR: Warning current crisis could devolve into full-blown conflict w/ echoes of Syria, @UNHumanRights chief @mbachelet urges States to take immediate, decisive & impactful measures to push #Myanmar military to halt repression/slaughter.

- #Truthcommission from 2014 to “investigate #atrocities from 1885..., to 2008, when a stalled peace deal to end the civil war was fully implemented...it has mapped more than 4,000 mass graves..and identified more than 142,000 victims of violence.” #Burundi
- My oped in today's edition of @the_hindu newspaper, on the #Genocide Convention and the legal obligations of #India to adhere to the Convention.
- U.S Comm on Intl Religious Freedom holds hearings on #citizenship laws in #India & #Myanmar. These connections will increasingly be made. Glad to see @AmanWadud testifying - speaking with him some months ago about the Assam #NRC was eye opening and absolutely horrifying. #CAA.@AmanWadud: Women are leading peaceful protest on the street for more than two months, beating all odds. #CAAProtest #CAA #NRC #NPR Watch live: uscirf.gov/uscirf-events/…
- Completely agree with @ICJ_org assessment: Likelihood of #CrimesAgainstHumanity in #Myanmar, should be investigated independently + #IIMM role + call for full referral to the International Criminal Court #ICC by the #UNSC, which meets tomorrow. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
- Many legal issues to still understand, but seems like an illegal act in 1992 has been sanctified and rewarded by the #supremecourtofindia judgment, despite calling it a violation? Another nail in the coffin of #Ruleoflaw in India?Supreme Court Verdict: Ram Temple Trust to Get Disputed Ayodhya Land, Govt to decide on board, Muslims to get separate land for mosque thewire.in/law/ayodhya-ve… via @thewire_in
- Jaw dropping and really absurd. This PR firm must think everyone else is really naive or only cares about its fees - probably both. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
- As the junta ratchets up its brutal attacks against peaceful protesters in Myanmar, the world must ratchet up its response. Words of condemnation are welcome but insufficient. We must act. I'm releasing a statement today w options for UN member states & the UN Security Council.
- So. It’s come to our notice @opiniojuris that submissions from women seem to be down, commensurate to the trend in academia. We’d like to change this - so if you can write & want to brainstorm, please DM me and I’d be happy to chat. #covid #writing #internationallaw
