📣 It was a pleasure to participate, together with @NatiLuterstein and so many good friends, in an #CILRAP expert roundtable on *The Value of 'Unity of Humankind' in International Law Discourse* last week in beautiful Florence 🇮🇹.

My article "The Ordinary Soldier in Military Organization: Is ICL Delusional About Human Agency?" just out in Journal of Intl Criminal Justice. It shows how particular social context undermines ICL’s fiction of human agency and its normative effect. doi.org/10.1093/jicj/mqae049
