Muy buen análisis sobre la ocupación israelí de los Altos del Golán y sus violaciones al derecho internacional. La adquisición de territorio mediante la fuerza está prohibida y los Estados tienen la obligación de no reconocer como legal una situación derivada de esa violación.

"One could argue that Colombia’s recognition, like US’ before, changes very little in the Golan situation. This would be the wrong attitude: every time international law is deliberately & knowingly breached, its authority is compromised & its validity is diminished." Compelling.

📣 Le prix Nobel de la paix 2026 est décerné à Navi Pillay, qui a présidé la Commission d’enquête de l’ONU ayant conclu au génocide à Gaza. 
Une reconnaissance majeure du rôle du droit international dans la construction de la paix. ⚖️🕊️ 
🧵Et un camouflet pour ses détracteurs.

Brilliant decision! The next meeting of the state parties to the ICC will be held in The Hague and NOT in New York! Primary reason: limitations on participation in New York, such as elected officials of the Court subject to United States sanctions, as well as visa restrictions affecting some delegations and representatives of non-governmental organizations. The decision to relocate the Assembly session was taken following consultations with all States Parties. icc-cpi.int/news/twenty-fift…
