Exciting development re: ICC and tech! The Yekatom and Ngaissona judgment spends (to my knowledge) the most time we've seen the Court focus on social media evidence. Some key findings here:

Last days of the Ngaissona + Yekatom trial @ #ICC (bar appeals) on crimes more than a decade ago in Central Africa Republic. An intense two-day sentencing hearing even though we have no judgment yet. Lots of twisted verb tenses + rhetorical flourishes “serious crimes demand serious punishment”
