“We do not believe that military threats are the appropriate response to the problem of ongoing violence and impunity.” This statement, made by ECCHR legal advisor Nerges Azizi at an event that addressed the crimes of the Iranian regime, could function as a kind of motto for our work during these times. This is also especially because those in power around the world are openly turning toward the law of the strongest. This does not mean, however, that they will get away with it: as long as there are people who trust in the strength of the law, seek allies, and remain persistent, the bullies of this world can be kept in check. This is evident in the proceedings we are supporting on the murder of Patrice Lumumba and in the proceedings concerning responsibility for a deadly dam collapse in Brazil. These are small victories against impunity that encourage us not to back down, even in the face of major attacks. Read more about this and other cases in this newsletter.
