The ICJ condemns the illegal invasion of Iraq in the clear absence of Security Council authority – this constitutes a great leap backward in the international rule of law.
The ICJ today expressed its deep dismay that a small number of states are poised to launch an outright illegal invasion of Iraq, which amounts to a war of aggression.
The ICJ today expressed its shock at the gang-land style assassination of Judge Antônio José Machado Dias (48, photo) who was shot in the chest and head by two gunmen as he drove home on 15 March.
Judge Machado Dias had been responsible for overseeing the operations of the high security prisons where Brazil’s top organized crime bosses are being detained.
