Even while under attack by Israel, Lebanon just signed onto the Landmine Ban Treaty foreswearing the use of these indiscriminate weapons of war. In my @WPReview column this week (and at a great workshop with @Article36 @minefreeworld & @LexIntl_org last week) I explain why that matters, and why the rules of war are surviving and thriving despite the lawlessness of great power politics.

Trump's latest tweet which appears to call not just for war crimes but for all out genocide against the entire Iranian people. Anyone in a position to participate in such crimes should refuse. Here's why and how: please share widely.

Iran’s use of cluster munitions against Israel looks like evidence of international law’s irrelevance.
But as WPR columnist @charlicarpenter writes, a closer look suggests the opposite may be true.
