This is how your email finds me. #Croatia #sea #vakantie #zomer

Sunset and the sea, beautiful colors, shot from a ferry.

Sea and sky. Blues, grey's, pink colors fill the air.

Update. Spending the day hugging other people's dogs. #dog <3

The dog situation in our household is a bit out of control today. #dog #TheHague #summer

A man standing on a nice meadow with three dogs (one whitish, one goldish, one greyish). The early morning sun is hitting them.

Spear a thought for Charlie, who took a nap earlier, and ended up looking like he was out drinking all night last night. #dog

Picture of a dog on a couch, surrounded by 2 pillows, a green and a yellow one, and lying on a blanket (because his fur has grass and sand in it sometimes). He is lying on his back, but also weirdly leaning to the side. His face is half-covered by a pillow. He is white (but is now a bit dirty from playing so he's a bit brown also).

Are there any two words in the life of an academic that sound better? :) The gods have been kind to me this time. #Research #Academia #AmWriting

Summer in the city. #DenHaag #TheHague #zomer #ljeto #dog

There's currently a battle for public opinion and state's votes at the #ASP this Friday in New York to determine if #ICC #Prosecutor stays in his job or not. The last weeks especially, this campaign has intensified. We see memos, OpEds and interviews presenting arguments for both sides.

Guys, it's still standing, bricks and all. Dark jokes aside, the #ICC Bar Association had a 10 year anniversary yesterday and organized an interesting discussion to mark it. The people around the court are worried but determined to push back. We won't sink silently. #Accountability #Justice

Never underestimate the joy that a day spent in the garden with someone else's dog can bring. #dog #summer #garden #TheHague

a nice goldendoodle lying in the garden with his belly up. there's tiles, plants, and some chairs and a table.

a big gooldendoodle in my lap, a part of my leg is visible, and a book and a coffee cup.

After a million visits to the city we decided to go visit St Paul's. It's amazing. Go if you have a chance. Christopher Wren had it figured out. Fyi the towers have pineapples on top. #London #architecture #history #fruit

Me on top of the dome of St Paul's. I'm wearing a yellow dress. The city is grayish. You can see the financial district in the back.

Golden pineapple on top of one of the towers, behind is a grey sky.

For those of you in #TheHague and interested in #ICL, do join us on Thursday for the Book Launch: Speech Crimes in the Digital Era - The Peace and Justice Initiative Guidelines. This is a project I have been involved in for years, and am glad to see the book coming out now. #SpeechCrimes #ICC

At the @tmcasser.bsky.social for the launch of the report 'Truth beneath silence' on #SexualViolence against men in #Ukraine. Truth hounds and IPHR wrote it. Look it up. #HumanRights #SGBV #CRSV #Accountability #Justice

Sretan Dan antifašističke borbe! Ne zaboravljamo! Happy Anti-Fascist Struggle Day! (it's a holiday in my native Croatia - as it should be) #Antifascism #Struggle #Partisans #WorldWarII

What a joy to see the translation of my first book still displayed in a bookstore at the main square in #Zagreb, almost two years after it came out. #Research #History #Books #Paramilitary #WarCrimes

The book displayed in a shelf, front page facing the reader.

Stay classy, #Zagreb.

:) Sex is great but have you ever sat in the Applicant Agent's chair at the ICJ??!?!?!?! I am such an incredible dork.

Iva Vukušić@vukusiciva· Jun 3

What an amazing visit we had at the #ICJ. I've been before, a number of times, years ago at proceedings up in the gallery, and yet whenever I am in the Great Hall of Justice, I am just so humbled by this place. What a privilege to us to be able to see it. #Justice #Accountability #InternationalLaw

Somebody at the gym has a funny sense of humour. We have identical bikes. Identical. The only difference is the chain, and the crate is slightly different. Mine is on the right. Sometimes I come out, and this person has parked close to me (even though there's place elsewhere). 👌 #Fietsen #Bikes

Two identical red bikes parked one next to the other.

The @niodamsterdam.bsky.social lecture yesterday, and the two panels that followed, were great. What a stimulating way to spend an afternoon, listening to Prof Bartov discuss his book on the history of Israel, Zionism and the radicalization and violent, genocidal escalation in the present moment.

Our Prime Minister speaking about the importance of #RuleofLaw and #LegalOrder. He also mentioned the constitutional obligation to promote it. Good that he did. #Nederland

Amazing evening out at the #KaravaanFestival, watching the #EenPrivilegeTrilogie by my absolute favourite theater group, #CollectiefBlauwdruk. If you understand Dutch, go see them, they're incredible. Creative, smart but not pretentious, and really political. Love them <3 #Theater #Nederland

This is heaven, and this is Eva walking around before the play starts. We're outside, on the ruins of a castle, surrounded by water. She's wearing a long dark cape. There's hay and trees around, and the audience sits in a circle. Other characters are around, in the background.

The second part of the trilogy, now we have Lucifer and one of the angels, Beelzebub. Lucifer is standing on a pile of sand. It's light still, but dusk, we're at a different location on the ruins of a castle.

It was the most wonderful sunset last night on the shores of the #NorthSea, in #TheHague. We're having a hot spell and it was full of people and dogs <3 #DenHaag #Scheveningen #Zee #Strand

Fatou Bensouda gave a talk, alongside other speakers at a the Rights Forum event in #TheHague tonight (the-rights-forum.bash.social/e/k409IamtLs...). She discussed the dangers of #ICC #sanctions and the risks to the #LegalOrder. Look it up, maybe they'll put it online. #Accountability #Justice

I went to @unileiden.bsky.social last night to visit my friend, @casperwits.bsky.social and talk to his BA students in the honours program. We talked about international law, courts, and the politics around it. They had good questions. #InternationalLaw #History #InternationalRelations #HigherEd

The first slide of my talk titled: International Courts, Atrocity Crimes and the Threat of Narrow-minded Politics.

Today it's blast from the past day for me! Media requests, three of them, all regarding ICTY-related stuff (and people). Mladic, Thaci, and Stanisic. All different issues, but all relating to something I've left behind by now in terms of research. #ICTY #Media #Accountability #JustIce

On Friday, I went to the #ICC for the ICCBA event on #JudicialIndependence. Excellent speakers, including ICC judges (who are sanctioned, threatened and targeted for doing their job), the UN special rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers, and others. #Accountability #Justice #Judges
