Sprouting shoots of normal accountability functions: (i) an IG report critical of Sec Def; (ii) serious congressional engagement with the Venezuela boat strikes; (iii) a change in DOD protocols, presumably sparked by internal legal concerns, to rescue rather than kill first-strike survivors.

The United States thanks Qatar, Egypt, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Jordan, and Türkiye for backing our Security Council resolution on Gaza that advances President Trump’s historic 20-point Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict. With firm regional endorsement secured at Sharm El-Sheikh on Sept 29, this plan delivers a credible path to lasting peace and stability for Israelis, Palestinians, and the region. We call for swift adoption. usun.usmission.gov/joint-sta…

The ICJ faces a growing crisis of authority. Compliance with its rulings has fallen from 80% to ~50%. As states increasingly defy the Court, the legitimacy of the entire international legal system is at risk. theguardian.com/law/2025/nov…

Quick take on @michaelgwaltz remarks to @SenateForeign just now: * UN insiders will be mightily relieved. * There was the standard @GOP criticism of @UN, but the general theme was "make the UN work (for the U.S.)" not "we are walking away". [1/3]

The PTC issued an important decision today concerning prosecutorial discretion. The decision involves an attempt by @amnesty to force the OTP to open a formal proprio motu investigation in #Nigeria. By majority, the PTC held it did not have the authority to issue such an order.

My latest story is about lawlessness on the high seas. In 2023, the Med Sea Eagle was abandoned off the coast of the UAE, and conditions grew so dire one crew member attempted suicide. In 2024, the cargo ship delivered military equipment to a warlord in eastern Libya.
