Judge Dire Tladi offers a more optimistic view of Dr Yusra Suedi's thesis: individual participation in ICJ cases already exists. More standing might not serve international law better than deepening humanistic content of what courts actually apply. ow.ly/zsEp50ZMWEp

@yusrasuedi.bsky.social's book examines how individuals appear in ICJ cases. They're implicated in a range of disputes, and affected by outcomes, yet lack formal standing. Do the Court's procedures recognise their reality as stakeholders? ow.ly/WfcS50ZMWAx

"If Iran’s actions in the Strait are a response to the U.S.-Israel strikes, the U.S. can’t cleanly invoke self-defence … and any country joining it would risk being seen as part of the U.S.-Israeli continued aggression instead. No thanks." - Yusra Suedi @yusrasuedi.bsky.social

I spoke to Al Jazeera about the illegality of the US/Israeli attacks on Iran and actions that followed: www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/...

Are the US-Israeli attacks against Iran legal under international law?
Analysts say the joint US-Israeli strikes against Iran appear to breach the UN Charter's prohibition on aggression.
