Some of you may have noticed that we have taken a short break from the blog during the last six weeks. I have been busy finalising my PhD thesis on the accountability of armed groups under international human law (which has now been submitted to the examination committee) and Rogier has been busy with work (professional and academic) abroad and in The Netherlands. The good news is that as of this week the blog will be back and we hope to bring you lots of interesting posts. In particular, we have a Legal Roundup in the pipeline, a joint article undergoing a final edit and several interesting guest posts that we hope to bring to you in the coming weeks.
