I’m digesting the #ICC sanctions news from Dubrovnik, at a convening on mass atrocity prevention. The legacy of atrocities is literally etched into the landscape.

Color me old school, but there is still something lovely about receiving a copy of one’s work in print.

Thank you to career prosecutor Brenda Hollis for this important statement. The quest for justice should never be conflated with a single individual. Behind Karim Khan there was a team of professionals seeking accountability in the Palestine investigation. #ICC

Thanks to NBC for the chance to discuss Mayor Mamdani's comments & the broader significance of an ICC arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on charges of the war crime of starvation and crimes against humanity including murder.

Looking forward to moderating this conversation today, especially in relation to the ILC’s work on immunity for state officials accused of genocide.

My latest update to the @justsecurity.org #pressfreedom tracker is live & showing “a small but noticeable increase in resistance to attacks on press freedom by media outlets, coinciding with a growing number of losses by the Trump administration in court.” www.justsecurity.org/112792/trump...

This is vile. No one needs a lawyer to tell them this is illegal. This is an all-hands-on-deck moment no matter your politics. The U.S. Congress, the American public, U.S. military, U.S. allies or former allies. We need each & every one of you to call him back from the brink.

I just completed Maui Nui! Today’s highlights were the Mama & baby whale in the channel and the 2 enormous sea turtles that welcomed me towards shore after 3 days and 50km of swimming. Plus we’ve raised nearly $10K for Pono Legal! Immense gratitude to all (save, perhaps, the jellyfish).

Bec Hamilton @bechamilton.bsky.social · 10/01/2026

Good morning everyone! It’s a beautiful 5.30am here as I get ready to swim the ‘Au’au channel in the Pacific Ocean. Allergic reaction to all the jellyfish stings over the past 2 days is suboptimal but otherwise everything looks great. A huge thank you to everyone who has been supporting this effort.

So it seems we’re done with head of state immunity in domestic courts (exactly where it was designed for) even as we fight for it tooth and nail at an international court? Actually, we’re probably just done with it in US courts.

Settling in for an extended airport stay. I am thanking each TSA worker I meet for showing up. The last guy I spoke to said he’d saved 2 months worth of wages in anticipation of this - but he’s out of luck if they go to a 3rd month.

Bec Hamilton @bechamilton.bsky.social · 27/10/2025

Kit for the day is ready to go. Weather looking cooperative. Hoping to make it in 6 hours. In swimming a marathon is 10km so for those who run, think about two marathons in a row :)

Water bottles, swim gear, carb fueling, rope and painkillers for ultra marathon swim

Not the scholarship you’re used to from me, but this is important. With thanks to colleagues in Aotearoa, we now have the first empirical data on the impact of a law change I helped secure 20 (!) years ago to prohibit NZ clinics using anonymous donors: www.fertstert.org/article/S001...
