“The attacking force must take all feasible precautions to minimize civilian harm, including in its selection of munitions, times of attack and, whenever circumstances allow, by issuing effective advance warnings,” said Tom Dannenbaum, a professor of law at Stanford University.

Almost 500 patients, their relatives and others were killed at al-Fashir's last functioning hospital during the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces' recent takeover of the Sudanese city, the World Health Organization reported.

In the article “Top UN court says Israel must allow UN relief agency to supply aid to Gaza,” Dannenbaum is quoted as saying the opinion provides “strong legal support for the case against Netanyahu.”

Dannenbaum will join CISAC and Stanford Law School as the Frank Stanton Professor of Nuclear Security.
