IPS Visiting Fellow of Practice Shannon Raj Singh authored a post published in Opinio Juris on the recent International Court of Justice’s Provisional Measures decision in the case between The Gambia and Myanmar and its implications for atrocity prevention. She argues that such decision – and particularly the ICJ’s finding that The Gambia has standing to bring its claims – challenges the notion of what third states can, and therefore must, do under the Genocide Convention, showing that even those nominally ‘unaffected’ by a situation of genocide have the ability to enforce its provisions before the ICJ.
