MP Broache

Coming back from what?

Looking for a brief overview of US hostility towards the International Criminal Court? Well, I have just the thing. www.fikerinstitute.org/publications... #IntLaw

I am teaching commitment problems this week in my intro IR class in case this dude wants to attend

15 years ago, I would have probably said "the decline of interstate war," but..........

The European Union has awarded the 2026 Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought to the ICC and its officials, amid the Trump administration's outlandish attempts to destroy the Court and protect war criminals: www.cbc.ca/news/world/e... #ICC

Just re-upping an older article that I wrote with @mbroache.bsky.social and Sherri Zaks about how to teach about democratic backsliding in American Poli Sci classrooms. We've got activities to do with your students! (gestures widely). Feels important, guys! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

What we really shouldn’t be doing is turning this into a “Jalen Hurts is so tough” story

tfw your big plan to undermine the United States is being the 58th vote against ratifying a treaty

A war run by two personalist dictators surrounded by oligarchs, with a democratically elected ex-comedian caught in the middle.

Navi Pillay’s Nobel Peace Prize and a victory for the cause (Photo: Wayamo Foundation) A moment of joy and affirmation during such troubling times facing the field of international criminal law and justice. Congratulations to Navi Pillay on winning the 2026 Nobel Prize for Peace, which she won…

Now do "fighting in illegal wars of aggression in violation of the church's teachings on jus ad bellum"

I know writers who use subtext and they're all cowards.

States continue to demonstrate a failure to grasp the severity of US sanctions against the International Criminal Court. How many times does it have to be said, you don't negotiate with bullies. Bullies don't compromise & compromise is a central part of meaningful negotiations. #ICC #Ussanctions

Thanks to everyone who joined us this weekend for the 2026 @isanet.bsky.social South conference at UNC Greensboro! Special thanks to ISA President Audie Klotz for attending, keynote speaker John Cox (UNC Charlotte), and UNCG Provost Alan Boyette for delivering remarks at the welcome reception!

See the @amnesty.org statement in response to President Trump's sanctions on the ICC following Navi Pillay's Nobel Peace Prize award. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

This paper (published last year in @gsqjournal.bsky.social) examines why some Dems joined a 2020 letter calling for executive action against the ICC after the authorization of the Afghanistan investigation (which, until subsequently deprioritized, included allegations of war crimes by US nationals)

Congrats to every institution, pundit, etc. that completely capitulated to this guy after he won a narrow popular vote plurality against an opponent from the incumbent party who entered the race 100 days before the election and in the context of a worldwide backlash against incumbents

What week. The Trump administration has imposed sweeping new sanctions on the International Criminal Court as part of its campaign to dismantle the tribunal over investigations into the United States and its allies, including Israel.

“The sanctions are aimed at bringing the ICC to its knees; and ensuring US allies are not held accountable for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.” "As a global community, we cannot let one State launch unilateral attacks against the Court." www.ohchr.org/en/pre...

So Microsoft (among others) have six months to decided whether they are a US or a global company. One can no longer claim to be both (it had been wearing thin for a while.) #giftArticle #AIEthics #transnationalUtilities #essentialInfrastructure #digitalSovereignty #ICC #RuleOfLaw wapo.st/4hCXeii

My man ended USAID, condemning millions to death

Today, the United States eased sanctions on Russia, whose head of state is the subject of an #ICC arrest warrant, and imposed sanctions on the ICC…this is what this country is

Greetings from Day 1 of the 2026 @isanet.bsky.social South conference on the campus of UNC Greensboro!

On October 9, the United States government sanctioned the International Criminal Court, citing ICC jurisdiction over crimes by US nationals abroad. This is an unprecedented assault on global justice and the rule of law. Read HRW's statement: https://bit.ly/4zuGQqh

i actually love that on the same day the trump admin did this idiotic thing of trying to destroy the ICC & continue its assault on international law the nobel committee essentially said 🖕and honored a hero in the field. more of that please.

https://globalnews.ca/news/12097083/u-s-sanctions-international-criminal-court/ Comically evil behaviour. I keep on saying this, but if you're a government still relying on OFAC-encumbered tech - you should get out now.

In light of the new US sanctions against the #ICC, re-upping my @fpajrnl.bsky.social article with @kylereed.bsky.social on State Party responses to sanctions imposed during the first Trump administration academic.oup.com/fpa/article-...

A direct and shameless assault on the rule of law. Hegemonic malevolence. www.reuters.com/world/us-imp...

The US is now simultaneously sanctioning the #ICC and multiple individuals and groups led by individuals whom the ICC has targeted for prosecution

Notable that the joint statement, while offering rhetoric support, is completely silent on any measures to help the #ICC. Hopefully that is coming. These states are not powerless. The EU, UK and Canada all have the ability to invoke measures to block the impact of U.S. sanctions.

Truly shameful: www.theglobeandmail.com/world/articl...

awarding the nobel to navi pillay is 100% merited. her career/views is a rejection of trumpism, eg: - international law at center of her career - deep commitment to human rights institutions - leadership of int'l justice (ICC, ICTR) - foreign student earned JSD at Harvard so much to celebrate.

Recalling, once again, how I had to get an OFAC license to interview members of the FDLR and M23 for my dissertation in 2013-2015 b/c both groups were under sanctions, and now I might have to get one to interview ICC officials

"The Court cannot stand alone. Its fate now rests also in the hands of the States that created it... This is not just about defending a single institution, but about safeguarding the international order grounded upon the rule of law." www.icc-cpi.int/news/icc-str...

The US is now simultaneously sanctioning the #ICC and multiple individuals and groups led by individuals whom the ICC has targeted for prosecution

An attack on the rule of law that requires a strong response from all States Parties

The ICC has just been sanctioned as an entity by the #Trump administration. Long anticipated, but utterly disgraceful nonetheless. Lawlessness shall not prevail. ofac.treasury.gov/re...

Rubio is obviously wrong. But this is the first time the ASP is mentioned as a reason. Presumably it’s inaction to “constrain” the Court. It’s a golden opportunity for the ASP to react in the strongest terms, including an emergency Bureau and ASP meeting. Rebut Rubio. Act now.
