#ICC Refuses to Investigate Crimes in #Afghanistan, U.S. #Torture:
My second post @opiniojuris on the #ICC and #Afghanistan: why the PTC did not act ultra vires by reviewing the interests of justice. (Even though it completely botched the analysis.) https://t.co/gK0h618y1I

I’ve updated my Afghanistan post with the reason why I disagree with @kevinjonheller on the issue of appeal. So we still managed to disagree on the decision after all https://t.co/P4E3O2ghNIhttps://t.co/XlAHBpIwz2

#ICC judges‘ decision to reject #Afghanistan investigation is an affront to the victims of atrocity crimes.
The judges‘ logic sends a dangerous message to perpetrators that they can put themselves beyond the reach of the law just by being uncooperative.https://t.co/1Rlcbd4QSW

(2/2) Judges‘ decision sends the message that states will be rewarded for hampering the ICC’s work – a dangerous precedent to set. pic.twitter.com/9qJ62Kjhye

My God — the PTC’s comments on the scope of NIAC, made to reject investigating CIA black sites, is a horror show. #ICC #Afghanistan

Bankrotterklärung der Richter des Internationalen Strafgerichtshofs. Mit der Entscheidung, keine Ermittlungen zu #Afghanistan zu genehmigen, nimmt sich Gerichtshof seine eigene Legitimität für andere Verfahren. Ein schwarzer Tag für die internationale Strafjustiz! @ECCHRBerlin

How are we all feeling today about the Presidency’s decision in March 2018 to reassign two of the PTC judges assigned to the #Afghanistan request and start over with newly-elected ones? https://t.co/ox1tMfHm35 #ICC

That’s a whacking broad judgement of what victims in #Afghanistan want. They were given 6 weeks to share their views and submitted 1.17 millions claims to the #ICC. Now after 1.5 years, judges tell them that an investigation would be “far from honouring the victims’ wishes”… https://t.co/IFpPvzOoLF
