I swore I would never return to this platform currently held together by two extremely thin and worn out pieces of ligature. But it matters that, at a time of long-documented, long-evidenced, and ongoing atrocity crimes, the profession understands its crucial role.
Advocating for one group of civilians over another has no place in current legal conversation; assumptions on competence of a given court due to displeasure for its subject-matter jurisdiction is appalling. Moreover, policing barristers’ work on this is as well.

i note that there hasn’t been a single word in recent days about the killing of palestinian children by israeli forces…

During the 2014 war, which began after Hamas kidnapped and killed three Israelis, Netanyahu ignored calls from right-wing MPs to launch a ground invasion of Gaza. Harder to resist such demands this time: the trigger is much, much bigger, and his coalition is entirely right-wing
They look awesome and ready to go to work.

Sorry for being an Ulsterwoman, but I would like to point out to my wonderful peers across the invisible fault line that the Seanad has a sitting senator that has absolutely zero idea of Irish history, and the role of the state in gender-based violence. It’s disturbing.
The @NWCI must be defunded. Never in the history of this state has a group done so much damage to 'women' whom they purport to represent. They're a bloody disgrace. #defund #WomensRightsAreHumanRights
Sumption’s position is not simply wrong, it was entirely politically motivated and @JMPSimor simply corrected the legal record and warned against constant inflammatory rhetoric and the need to preserve legal protection. A “bucket of ordure” is entirely unwarranted.
The former @UKSupremeCourt judge Lord Sumption has responded prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas… to what he describes as the "bucket of ordure" aimed at him by the KC @JMPSimor on Monday prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas… in @prospect_uk Writing about human rights, she had said he was "fanning dangerous flames, the flames of nationalism"

We’re being manipulated to think migrants are a threat in order to justify coming out of the ECHR - but this would leave us ALL vulnerable and without protection. And while the targeting and scapegoating STARTS with the most vulnerable it doesn’t end there!!! #bbcqt

🗣️‘ We need to be extremely vigilant , we’re being manipulated to think migrants are a threat.
Coming out of the ECHR. It’s starts with the most vulnerable. Then they would erode ALL our rights, unless you are part of the ruling class” 👏🏼

Everything about this takedown of Lord Sumption’s masquerade on ECHR supposed oppression is right on point:

This was posted in response to Enoch Burke, who has been harassing primary school children for months and is the subject of several court orders banning him from entering school grounds. This Canva Free designed slide would be hilarious if they weren’t so harmful.
Here is the thing that I thought Keir Starmer would understand, being a human rights barrister: the criteria for the border poll have to be released and published. London authorizing a poll in Dublin and Belfast is the result of a provision in an international treaty.
Irish unity poll ruled out by Sir Keir Starmer if he becomes PM bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-i…
He is of course entitled to make such a statement, which is only an indication of opinion considering he is not PM, and may never be at this rate. The issue remains that launching the poll is not a matter of opinion but of international law. Demand for the criteria has been made.
We still hate Eric Adams, but it is a significant victory that we can now access abortion services via Telehealth! Access to health care is a human right. More information here. Note: this applies to all NYC public hospitals nychealthandhospitals.org/pr…
