Jus Cogens International Law Updates #8 - 14 June 2021

1. On the 16th of June we will officially be saying goodbye to current ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda, after which Karim Khan will be taking the post. In Bensouda’s final briefing before the UN security council, which took place on the 9th of june, the chief prosecutor took the opportunity to reflect on her recent visit to Sudan, and emphasised the urgent need to execute the four outstanding arrest warrants, including the warrant for former Sudanese Minister of state, Ahmad Harun. 2. The European Commission has sent a letter of formal notice to Germany, stating a breach of the principle of supremacy of European Union Law. The infringement proceeding is the result of the German Federal Constitutional Court’s PSPP judgement of May 5th 2020. Here the Court declared that the Public Sector Purchase Programme of the European Central Bank, as well as the Heinrich Weiss judgement of the European Court of Justice were . The commission noted it is concerned about the precedent being set by the German court for other Member States. Germany has two months to respond. 3. Lastly, the Jus Cogens blog is open to submissions for its International Criminal Law series, where we focus on the international criminal court but also general international criminal law.

Jus Cogens International Law Updates #6 - 17 May 2021

1. After days of fresh violence in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and Israel, the UN security council met in a specially convened session where attendees called for a ceasefire and for both sides to respect international humanitarian law. Among many targets leveled by Israeli Airstrikes over the last week, one included a building housing various international media outlets such as the Associated Press and Al-Jazeera. As a result, a Paris-based media watchdog, Reporters Without Borders, has asked the international criminal court to investigate Israel’s bombing of the building as a possible war crime. 2. A report recently published by 9 Human Rights organisations under the ‘Protecting Rights at Borders Initiative’ suggests that EU States have been informally cooperating to deny refugees asylum rights. The report was released at a time when the Council of Europe’s commissioner for human rights, Dunja Mijatović singled out Greece on the practice of pushing back migrants at the land and sea borders it shares with Turkey. 3. A new law pushed through parliament and passed in Australia allows refugees to be detained indefinitely and allows the government to withdraw a person’s refugee status recognition – declaring they can be returned to the country they fled. More than 30 legal academics and refugee law practitioners have signed a joint statement to government arguing that the new law “increases the risk that refugees and others in need of protection will be detained indefinitely and without adequate judicial review.” The statement also stresses that “this is contrary to international law and inconsistent with the practices of other democratic countries”.
