I don’t know why the WSJ would argue along this line. Having followed the entire case #TheGambia vs #Myanmar since 2019, it is quite depressing to see what was argued at the #ICJ to NOT constitute #genocide and what was said to NOT count as evidence.

Think you know African #birds⁉️
Test yourself on the Hamerkop, Scopus umbretta - a #bird with a “hammerhead”, an extraordinary stick-built nest and love for #wetlands.

Now the #quiz:
The Hamerkop is unusual taxonomically because it is the only living species in which family?

#Threskiornithidae
#Scopidae

Wetlands masters, sometimes, Hamerkops hold conspicuous ceremonies with wing-flapping, calling and head movements.

Heute ein sehr interessantes Instrument auf der Setup-Station.
Das ist eine westafrikanische Kora, aus Gambia. Das traditionelle Instrument der Griots oder Jalis (Sänger und Geschichtenerzähler). Gibt es seit hunderten Jahren, das Einzige, was sich verändert hat, sind die Nylonsaiten. Früher waren das Darmsaiten.
Sehr schöner Sound, irgendwas zwischen Harfe und Laute, aber sehr eigenständig.

Still catching up with #ICJ hearing #TheGambia vs #Myanmar - on 20 January, 9 judges began to pose questions to the two parties. 1st Q: on the methodology of how #evidence was collected from anonymous witnesses by third parties. 2nd Q (to Myanmar): how many villages destroyed by ARSA/Tatmadaw/Gov.

Against #TheGambia s approach, which "has no basis in the court's case law", Stefan Talmon ( #Myanmar ) positions the court's "inference from a pattern of conduct approach." Question is: Could #hatespeech be relevant to establish a pattern of conduct? #Myanmar: no. #hatespeech has no role to play.

After disputing that the material #TheGambia has provided carries any evidential weight, #Myanmar focused on #ARSA (Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army), an Islamist group active in the camps in #Bangladesh, but - at least acc. to #Myanmar - responsible for many of the killings in #Myanmar, too.

I continue my thread after a 1-week break. All videos of the case #TheGambia vs #Myanmar are available at the #ICJ website. I have summarized the 1st week of the case by highlighting a crucial formal aspect when interpreting the #Genocide Convention: what counts as #evidence and what does not?

#Myanmar is criticising that so many #IIMM witness statements were provided anonymously. "How can one know if the statements are not contradictory?" asks the counsel. I understand the point and think #TheGambia should clarify why it was necessary to protect anonymity in these cases.

So, while #TheGambia has so far concentrated almost exclusively on aspects of content of the case, #Myanmar has so far almost exclusively concentrated on form, particularly what constitutes accepted #evidence in #internationallaw.

Highly interesting argument presented by Stefan Talmon (whom I remember from Uni Tuebingen - we studied with the same international legal scholar, Prof. Graf von Vitzthum. He criticizes that #TheGambia s #indicators of genocidal intent (presented as inductive) amount to consequential #evidence

"The #IIMM reports do not deal with events on the ground in 2016-17" Staker doubts the witness statements by #IIMM (only 42 provided to #TheGambia after 7 years of work) out of which only 12 were put into the case). The Gambia "simply has no case"; aka: discrediting the fact-finding reports.
