The ASP Bureau decided that the 25th ASP session will be held in The Hague rather than in New York — the only sensible decision. This will allow delegates from all States Parties and NGO representatives to participate, and candidates standing in judicial elections to be present.

it I had to cite a key moment from Trump's speech, it would be this one. it is a threat not just to the Iranian government but to the Iranian people, and in that sense it contravenes both the international laws prohibiting war and the international humanitarian law that protects civilians
