Not to add to the discourse, but… It’s ‘toe the line,’ not ‘tow the line.’ It’s ‘free rein,’ and not ‘free reign.’ It’s ‘eke out,’ not ‘eek out.’ It’s ‘sleight of hand,’ not ‘slight of hand.’ It's ‘Anchors aweigh,’ and not ‘Anchor's away!’

Congratulations to Judge Iwasawa!
The ICJ has resolved the uncertainty surrounding Judge Salam's resignation by electing Judge Iwasawa to serve as President for the remainder of Salam's term (through 5 Feb 2027). This appears to mean that Julia Sebutinde will continue as Vice-President (and not Acting President).

The #plasticstreaty is an unmissable opportunity for the international community to protect human health and the environment. As the #INC intersessional open-ended expert groups meet in Bangkok this week, read the @TESSForum briefing note on "Human Health in the INC Intersessional Work Process" to learn more about: ➡ The call to action rising from health experts & environmental justice communities that the #plasticscrisis is a health crisis ➡ The ways that governments have pointed to the protection of #humanhealth & the environment from #plasticpollution in submissions to the expert groups so far ➡ Opportunities to progress convergence on an integrated approach for the protection of human health ahead of #INC5 in Busan this November Read the briefing note here: bit.ly/3WRTkXc

E-commerce is the biggest challenge for customs at the moment. The EU customs reform's response is to remove de minimis. Other jurisdictions are also responding to companies like Shein or Temu offering low-quality and low-cost goods. Here are some of the latest changes: /1
