The EU must go beyond the Blocking Statute—adopt national protections for the ICC and its allies, and build a counter-sanction financial system to shield them from harmful U.S. sanctions. Defend Palestinians, defend accountability. 7/7

My statement on the #Madleen. The question we should be asking today is not the merits or otherwise of a flotilla but how the world is shamefully turning a blind eye to children starving in Gaza and to a humanitarian catastrophe

UK: "a blockade is prohibited if it is intended to starve the civilian population; or to deprive [it] of objects essential to its survival," "or if the suffering of the civilian population is excessive in relation to the military advantage to be gained from the blockade" 1/🧵
