We are seeing what Ernst Fraenkel called “the dual state.” For most, life is routine and the rule of law exists. But if you interact with ICE, you face the full force of the prerogative state, which is marked by “unlimited arbitrariness and violence unchecked by any legal guarantees.”

This series examines how forensic investigations are reshaping evidentiary practices and redefining accountability in international law. Our hope is that the contributions will offer readers generative insights for future engagement against genocidal and colonial violence.

Four EU countries have now banned the import of goods from unlawful Israeli settlements. Totally undermining the claim made for years by Ireland that EU law was on obstacle to passing the Occupied Territories Bill. Complying with the ICJ advisory opinion requires it. And considerably more.
