In 2023 we organized a workshop, conference and conducted interview son the state and future of humanitarian disarmament. You can read the five brief outputs here prio.org/projects/2011 and the following thread includes some of the highlights.
Hi fine journos & activists! Huge respect for all standing up to defend human rights in Palestine (& US)! @Omega_RF are crowd control weapon experts. Use their info for accurate ID! Less lethal projectiles (p 79-84) [fwiw #rubberbullets rare in US] #Emory omegaresearchfoundation.org/sites/default/…
END/ Dean G. Marcus Cole provided remarks on the vision of the initiative and Prof. Addo gave background on the importance of the project to its partners.
4/ Hon. Nkosi Phathekile Holomisa, Deputy Minister of Justice & Correctional Services of the Republic of South Africa, delivered the Keynote Address at the conference.
THREAD: This week, a ND Law School delegation returns to Cape Town, South Africa for an official MOU signing with @UCT_news.
2/ The trip began with a conference led by Prof. Michael Addo, Director of the ND London Law Programme, focusing on a comparative research study on human rights oversight in private detention facilities in the UK and South Africa.
3/ The conference, "Monitoring Privately Run Detention Centres: What We Don’t Know," brought together partners from @BristolUni, @APCOF in South Africa, @Omega_RF , the @SAHRCommission,@JICS_ZA, @Min_JCS and the Ombudspersons for Health and the Military.

2/3 Last October I published a list of 20 different types of items that are inherently torturous. These are brutal tools like spiked batons, electric shock belts, and excessively weighted batons and gloves to name a few. ohchr.org/en/documents/t…
1/3 This powerful video from @amnesty highlights the devastation that less lethal weapons cause. The time has come to ban the most dangerous torture tools & to regulate other torture-capable weapons in wide use by law enforcement and other public authorities globally.
“My eye is gone. I cannot change that. But the way these weapons are used? That can be changed.” Leidy isn’t letting the story end here. Neither should we. #ProtectTheProtest and sign here for a Torture-Free Trade Treaty: amn.st/6010Z4mg4 ✊
