International law bureaucrat - views my own. Spouse, parent, dog owner, overwhelmed, chronically ill, mostly in good spirits, mostly grateful. It will get worse before it gets worse, working towards it being better.

Look up the Kia PV5 passenger van, also not sold in North America (yet). Getting camperized in Europe and much cheaper than the VW Buzz.

I remember Aharon Barak correcting a Canadian politician in his chambers on this specific issue. Mind you, this was in 2004, so things might have have changed legally since then. They have absolutely have changed in terms of the mobility and level of danger for West Bank Palestinians ....

Might it be possible that such conversions, like inter-denominational marriages, could be done outside Israel and then recognized as valid by Israel authorities ?

It is a fairly specific act/crime at international law and while people talk about it in a more general way, there are more specific requirements for an act to be genocide. It’s like saying someone murdered somebody else- you can say it loosely but without formal judgement there is no prison time.

Further the International Criminal Court is empowered to investigate and lay charges for the crime of genocide (same definition). They have done so in the case of Omar el Bashir.

I would disagree that virtually any belligerent act will amount to genocide. And rather than get into the weeds of why that is I would just note that when States disagree as to whether genocide is happening they may submit the matter to the International Court of Justice.

through “deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.” You may not be using the legal meaning of the term genocide, others might, and its legal usage is relevant and consequential.

Genocide has a very specific definition in international law and two tribunals that have or are now adjudicated genocide. There is a treat specific to genocide whose definition includes both genocide through killing as well as …..

Is there an armed conflict between the US and Cuba ? The answer to that question might help frame the applicable international laws and whether / how they are being violated.

The peons from the Office of Demand Creation insist that you work harder and goof off more efficiently, the better to advance the date of the upcoming book release. Your attention in this matter is, erm, appreciated.

In case you haven't already been sent it frequently, this anti skunk stink recipe works: - 1 quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide - ¼ cup of baking soda - 1 teaspoon of dish soap Several applications and the smell is almost gone. Can personally vouch for its efficatiousnessness.

So they made their father drink wine that night also; and the younger rose, and lay with him; and he did not know when she lay down or when she rose. Thus both the daughters of Lot became pregnant by their father. (Wrong but textually correct....)
