Swedish connections: - Navi Pillay served as a judge in the Akayesu case — the first time an international court convicted someone of genocide. In addition to Pillay, the panel included Lennart Aspegren, a Swedish judge and honorary doctor at Stockholm University. He passed away on 21 May 2026.

As a scholar, I see this prize as a recognition of a life's work rather than a single breakthrough. Navi Pillay has shaped the development of international criminal law over several decades —

My comment on the Nobel Peace prize being awarded Navi Pillay: This prize does not mean that international justice has arrived — it means the world still believes that those who have devoted their lives to pursuing it deserve to be recognized.

For the record, I think the story in NAZA shows potential war crimes, however it does not in itself show genocide. For genocide allegations to be successful, South Africa needs other evidence and that is what they try do in their submission.

Mark Klamberg @klamberg.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
I got the question whether South Africa can bring the movie NAZA into the genocide case at ICJ. The same allegations are already in South Africa's submission since 29 December 2023, made by the movie's director Yuval Avraham, in writing. See page 78 & footnote 194. www.icj-cij.org/sites/defaul...

The Ishaq case and previous cases from the ICJ indicate that acts that do not directly concern physical or biological destruction can still constitute genocide when integral to a coordinated campaign aimed at the group’s physical or biological destruction. (4/5)

specifically for forcible transfer of Yazidi children. This creates a doctrinal dilemma: if genocide requires intent to destroy a group physically or biologically, how can conduct that does not itself bring about such destruction be accompanied by genocidal intent? (3/5)

My view: yes, they do. However, this does not mean there is a conspiracy and that the ICC staff member making allegations is a Mossad agent. The allegations of sexual harassment and ICC investigations into the Gaza war are separate and should be treated as such. End of thread.

We should view the introduction 10 November 2025 of new regulation 23 ter against this background. It requires that applications for arrest warrants are to be classified as secret or under seal, unless otherwise authorised by a panel of three judges. www.icc-cpi.int/news/icc-jud...

Mark Klamberg @klamberg.bsky.social · 24/07/2026
My comment: the arrest warrants have to be approved by a panel of three judges which happened 21 November 2004, this provides checks & balances on the prosecutor. However, it is a potential problem if the Chief Prosecutor has discretion when to make the application for arrest public.

Second claim: the timing of the Prosecutor's application for arrest of PM Netanyahu & Gallant happened just when the allegations of sexual harassment were made. Facts: the harasment claims were made May 3, 2024 to the Internal Oversight Mechanism (IOM). The application for arrest May 20, 2024.
