Myanmar says ICC lacks jurisdiction to probe Rohingya crisis
This will come as no surprise… #Myanmar has issued a statement asserting that the #ICC lacks jurisdiction to probe the #Rohingya crisis https://t.co/7inAf4czc8 @kevinjonheller

Myanmar has expressed „serious concern“ over an attempt at the International Criminal Court to open a probe into mass deportations of Rohingya Muslims, dismissing the claims and saying the court has no jurisdiction.
Dangerously delusional denial that Burmese army didn’t ethnically cleanse ~700K Rohingya. Legal denial (though perhaps factually accurate, depending on China’s veto) that UN Security Council couldn’t send Rohingya situation to the International Crimnal Court. https://t.co/ROTCBlcvsZ

The President of the #ICC’s Pre-Trial Division, has established that the prosecutor’s request for a ruling on jurisdiction over #Myanmar deportation of #Rohingya to #Bangladesh meets existing criteria and assigned the request to Pre-Trial Chamber 1 https://t.co/Hm0clg5u2Y pic.twitter.com/8YiRprgHhi

It is as if China’s views don’t matter or aren’t worthy of reporting on China’s own state media. https://t.co/JPrODNRPGS

To conclude, the UK’s humanitarian intervention argument is so bad even on its own terms that it is clear why the US and France chose to stay silent – no legal argument is in their view a better option than a palpably bad one. And every legal argument that could be put forward here is a palpably bad one – morally right or wrong, wise or stupid, the strikes are simply, unconditionally, unambiguously illegal.

Whatever the legal authority _is_ for these strikes on #Syria, the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF) sure ain’t it. https://t.co/hYikirZjiW

So reports coming in that #KhalifaHaftar has either (a) is recovering and communicating with Tobruk; (b) remains in a coma; or (c) has died after a suffering a catastrophic stroke. Whatever the outcome justice and accountability needed for his countless victims @GuernicaGroup

Does anyone care that the Syria operation is unconstitutional and a breach of the UN Charter, and that apparently there’s not even a pretense of a legal argument in favor? Not sure I have anything new to add to what I wrote a year ago:@just_security https://t.co/8awK0bR2VH

Syrian people have „droit naturel de légitime défense“ under art. 51 of the UN Charter. Let’s see what the State Department says about the legal justification for the strike.

Reupping my piece with .@jacklgoldsmith from earlier this week. I stand by every word. No one in the Trump Administration has offered a plausible domestic or international law argument (or, indeed, ANY real legal argument) to support the strike now underway. https://t.co/xv2zknN1cw
