Much ado about nothing? A thread on the ICJ president comments: The amount of sophistry in defending Israel's crimes is just astounding. But it's also a lesson in how the technical can obscure rather illuminate reality:
Good piece with solid quotes from @Alonso_GD and @profbensaul

agree with all of this and cannot emphasise enough that judges, even should they make a somewhat bizarre choice to give an interview in respect of ongoing proceedings, do not and cannot speak for the Court

Former ICJ President Donoghue engages in the ethical error of obtuseness (thx @emilykiddwhite) when she attempts hairsplitting between plausible "rights" and "claims." TL;DR the Court decided there was, at minimum, a serious risk of genocide or related acts in Gaza. 🧵

What @JaninaDill said
Re Judge Donoghue's @BBCHARDtalk interview: I realize this won't satisfy many people, but there is a difference between saying (1) that the ICJ did not decide that claims of genocide are plausible (what she said) and (2) that the Court decided that such claims are NOT plausible.
Personally, the really shocking news to come out of Judge Donoghue's interview is that she personally believes Israel did not comply with the Court's order for provisional measures, not her really nuanced legal argument about plausibility

Good piece with solid quotes from @Alonso_GD and @profbensaul
Earlier this month @972mag outlined AI’s pivotal role in Israel's war on Gaza I dive into the human decisions behind all the bloodshed It's a story that implicates Israel's military & broad swaths of a civilian tech sector 972mag.com/israel-gaza-la…
Having twiddled its thumbs while Israel commits some of the worst atrocities of our age, in full public view, all underpinned by endless bloodcurdling genocidal rhetoric: Is the International Criminal Court finally going to act?
Under my leadership, Israel will never accept any attempt by the ICC to undermine its inherent right of self-defense. The threat to seize the soldiers and officials of the Middle East’s only democracy and the world’s only Jewish state is outrageous. We will not bow to it. Israel…
@djag2 @Alonso_GD @JaninaDill Agreed. And Donoghue surely knows the other judges - who may disagree w her - cannot or will not speak on the matter, leaving the waters she has muddied in this interview, as the most authoritative word (it'll now be treated as more authoritative than the decision). Ugh.
The excellent point made here aside, I watched the video of former @CIJ_ICJ Judge/President #JoanDonoghue on BBC HardTalk re #SouthAfrica v. #Israel and it left a bad/unethical taste. I believe that judges should refrain from doing media interviews on pending cases✌🏿
It appears the ICJ President Joan Donoghue was on Hard Talk and spoke about the plausibility test. I'm not sharing the video because it's in a tweet that'll immediately get us into polemics. I'm interested in the technical point. /1
The American ex International Court of Justice president splits hair. Everyone has a right to be protected from genocide. The court found it plausible that Palestinians' right was in jeopardy. That means it's plausible that Israel is committing genocide. x.com/AviMayer/statu…
This is actually a pretty big deal: Joan Donoghue, who served as President of the International Court of Justice until February, has clarified that the court did NOT rule that Israel’s actions in Gaza could plausibly be considered genocide. WATCH:
PIAZZA OCCUPIED. As the @uniofwarwick continues to reject our demands to cut ties with genocide, we rise up in unison with fellow students all over the world, from Columbia, NYC, to Paris, to Sydney. We say no business as usual as long as Warwick sponsors colonial genocide!
My 5 cents on the Donoghue BBC interview: I am researching court communication for a few years now and the most common misunderstanding from practitioners is that this means I want judges to be more public when actually the opposite is the case🙃
@Alonso_GD debo confesar que no veo absolutamente nada de malo con cerrar un viernes con galletitas y te con leche
@Alonso_GD @BBCHARDtalk If she doesn't "feel comfortable" with answering about the only few points that matter, she should have refused the interview in the first place. SHAME on her!
Read this whole thread re. Justice Donoghue’s interview on @BBCHARDtalk on South Africa’s Genocide Convention violation claim against Israel. [imo: unwise while proceedings are underway] TDLR 👇🏿;
Much is being said about former ICJ President Joan Donoghue's interview in @BBCHARDtalk, particularly her view that the ICJ "did not find a plausible case of genocide". A few thoughts 🧵
@Alonso_GD i mean not sure it deserves applause, as the protest is to get them to divest from arms companies, and this pretty much says that they disagree about that. and like not violently suppressing students protests isn't progressive, it's what the baselines should be.
"Las juezas y los jueces hablan a través de sus sentencias", es una máxima que la jueza Donoghue de la CIJ no tuvo en cuento al aceptar la entrevista con la BBC y aceptar preguntas sobre el caso de Sudáfrica vs. Israel.
Useful thread on that interview. #ICJ #Hardtalk #Gaza

@Alonso_GD Thanks for v useful🧵. I agree she shouldn't have done int. But I also think the presenter framed the q incorrectly. Since ICJ PMs I always say 'plausible RISK of genocide', why did he say 'case'? Case is different to risk. If he'd used risk she might have answered differently.
Former ICJ President Donoghue engages in the ethical error of obtuseness (thx @emilykiddwhite) when she attempts hairsplitting between plausible "rights" and "claims." TL;DR the Court decided there was, at minimum, a serious risk of genocide or related acts in Gaza. 🧵
Finally. We can put this “the ICJ ruled plausible genocide” bullshit to bed. I’ve been arguing this for months, but in case you don’t believe me, here’s the actual President of the ICJ who delivered the ruling: “It didn’t decide that the claim of genocide was plausible”.
