The perspective of coining the denying of the right to return of refugees as a crime against humanity is interesting, a good argument that can and should be pushed. But if it’s presented as a legal fact rather than a good theory that should be tested, like the news articles say, I would have blocked that report myself and forced the authors to correct it. It’s a report, it can absolutely be critical about the law and it’s interpretation as of today, and advocate for an evolution of it through a meaningfull legal argument, but it shouldn’t present audacious legal theories as totally grounded legal rules ; that’s a job for the legal action team, not the Independent experts, and I understand how the NGO’s credibility could be at stakes here.
I’d like to have the report to really make my own mind on it.
that was a really shitty and weird personnal attack, congratulation.
Also, the authors were asked many time to correct their work, they had month to do so and refused. The report is not officially released, but accessible to some, as the journalists did actually read it. I’ll try to find it. I bet the authors will make it go public in some way if it’s not done already.
