This is an excellent resume of the comma issue, which, let the record show, I raised in the press room before my klaxon debut for Asymmetrical Haircuts!
#podcast alert🚨: catch Dr Melanie O'Brien and lucy.gaynor (IAGS members) discussing ICC’s Karim A. A. Khan KC’s Request For Arrest Warrants Israel and Hamas on the Asymmetrical Haircuts podcast!
🚨Breaking news at the ICJ: Today the court ruled Israel must halt its military offensive into Rafah.
stephanie vandenberg @svdberg.bsky.social & Molly Quell were at the court and give us the latest on the ruling and what it means.

Grateful to Asymmetrical Haircuts for including my thoughts on why Karim A. A. Khan KC is absolutely right to apply for arrest warrants in practically impossible cases where arrests are unlikely to materialise in practice.
The episode includes a really interesting selection of reflections 👇
Now out from Asymmetrical Haircuts w/bite-sized #intLaw & IR commentaries on Karim A. A. Khan KC's request for #ICC arrest warrants for #Hamas & #Israel leaders. Thx Janet H. Anderson stephanie vandenberg @svdberg.bsky.social for including me! asymmetricalhaircuts.com/episodes/justi…
Alonso Gurmendi also sent in some thoughts on states’ reactions: “I guess the bigger surprise at this point is Germany, which has come out, not in defence of the request, but certainly not strongly against it.”
Gissou Nia | گیسو نیا comments:
“ if Netanyahu and his defence minister are hampered and restricted in their movements, I think that pretty soon there's going to be even a, you know, an increase in sentiment in Israel that Netanyahu has to go.”
Dr Melanie O'Brien tells us “States that claim to uphold the rule of law are criticising the ICC for upholding that very same rule of law,”
AND Barrie Sander sent in his contribution saying the applications for arrest warrants “signal a prosecutor who is prepared to speak truth to power,”
