Courts and advocates have argued that present inaction steals the future, invoking the rights of unborn generations to compel state action today. The 2025 ICJ Advisory Opinion solidified this approach, recognizing that states owe legal duties to future generations. However, in a landmark ruling delivered on January 28, 2026, the Hague District Court in Greenpeace Netherlands v.

The four Geneva Conventions of 1949 still sit at the very heart of what we call International Humanitarian Law. The ongoing effort to update their Commentaries tells us something important: these documents have not aged into irrelevance. Governments still rely on them. Tribunals still interpret them. Soldiers are still trained under their authority.

So why does it keep shielding them? Operating international criminal law within the global order at present constitutes a deep-seated irony, in which its universalist aspirations are mediated and severely undermined.
