And one year later, last Friday the sixth committee set the date for the second prepcom. First prepcom com begins January 19! #CAHTreatyNow
Thrilled to post this summary of the CAH treaty PrepCom I attended in January. #CAHTreatyNow #crimesagainsthumanityinitiative
From Saddam Hussein’s draining of southern Iraq’s marshes to Russia’s attacks on a Ukrainian dam and nuclear power plant, calls are increasing to recognize mass environmental harms as international crimes.
