UN JUDGE FOUND GUILTY OF KEEPING WOMAN AS A SLAVE IN UKUgandan UN judge Lydia Mugambe told police she had diplomatic immunity when they arrested her for keeping a woman as an unpaid servant in her Oxfordshire home.
Mugambe tricked her victim into coming to the UK, forcing her to work without pay and threatening her when she resisted.
A jury at Oxford Crown Court convicted her on multiple charges, including facilitating travel for exploitation and forcing someone to work.
Her alleged co-conspirator, Ugandan diplomat John Leonard Mugerwa, has already fled back to Uganda.

️BREAKING: ICC Appeals Chamber Issues Ruling on Israel’s Jurisdiction Challenge.Today, the Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Court (ICC) ruled on Israel’s appeal regarding the Court’s jurisdiction over crimes in Palestine.
➤ The Chamber reversed a previous decision that dismissed Israel’s challenge to the Court’s jurisdiction, stating the Pre-Trial Chamber had failed to properly consider Israel’s legal arguments. The case is now sent back for a new ruling.
➤ However, Israel’s request to suspend the arrest warrants issued for Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Gallant was dismissed as irrelevant at this stage.
➤ The Appeals Chamber also rejected, by majority, a second Israeli appeal about a procedural matter related to the Prosecutor’s actions.
The ruling means the arrest warrants remain active, but the jurisdictional debate will continue.

️JUST IN:The International Court of Justice is set to begin a five-day hearing on Israel’s humanitarian obligations to allow the UN and others to provide humanitarian assistance in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
The hearings are being held at the request of the UN General Assembly, which voted in favour of asking the World Court to weigh in on Israel’s legal obligations last December.
Officials from the UN and Palestine are scheduled to speak first. The court will hear from some 40 countries over the next five days.
Experts say the hearing will be about the way that Israel can treat UNRWA as well as how Israel controls humanitarian assistance coming into Gaza.
The ICJ hearing is part of several cases against Israel. South Africa’s case at the ICJ accuses Israel of committing genocide in Gaza. The International Criminal Court also has a case against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant on war crime allegations.

BREAKING:Trump’s sanctions on ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan have effectively halted the tribunal’s work. Nearly three months ago, Trump imposed the sanctions after the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Khan’s access to email and bank accounts was blocked, U.S. staff on his team were warned of consequences if they returned to the U.S., and many organizations have ceased cooperating with the court.

The U.S. just sanctioned the International Criminal Court for daring to investigate alleged war crimes. The consequences are chilling:
➤ Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan locked out of email after Microsoft cut access
➤ His bank accounts frozen
➤ NGOs now refuse to work with the court or even reply to its messages
➤ Judges and staff face personal and professional harassment
This is intimidation by a superpower protecting its allies. All for investigating alleged war crimes.
WIKILEAKS REPORTED:
U.S. Sanctions hit ICC Chief Prosecutor: Email Blocked, Bank Accounts Frozen, 900 Staff Banned from U.S. Entry
International Criminal Court (ICC) Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan was placed under U.S. sanctions by the Trump administration in February 2025, as part of an effort to coerce the court into halting investigations of Israeli abuses in Gaza.
His official Microsoft email account has been disabled, and his UK bank accounts frozen. Additionally, all 900 ICC staff members have been banned from entering the United States, accused of pursuing “illegitimate” investigations into alleged war crimes committed by Israel.
The U.S. government has threatened that any individual or organisation providing Khan with financial, material, or technological assistance could face fines or imprisonment.
Two U.S. based human rights organisations have confirmed they’ve ended cooperation with the ICC. One senior official noted that staff are now actively avoiding communication with court officials, citing fear of government retaliation.
