It's truly sickening news that the UK is training Israeli soldiers. It’s also a clear breach of international law. The ICJ ruled that ALL states must end any cooperation that aids Israel’s illegal occupation Britain must end all arms sales and military cooperation with Israel.

Haaretz just published an article detailing the scale of destruction in Gaza over the past 20 months. The devastation caused by the IDF stands out, even when compared to some of the most extreme cases in modern history. Here are a few astonishing key findings from the article:

There is no internet. No signal. No sound. No world beyond this cage. I walked thirty minutes through ruins and dust. Not in search of escape, but for a fragment of signal, just enough to whisper, “We are still alive.” Not because anyone is listening, but because to die unheard

Let's be clear: Israel's attack on Iran is not simply a violation of the UN Charter. It is a manifest violation of it. Few acts are more unequivocally illegal than preventive (non-imminent) self-defence. So Israel's attack is both unlawful and criminal -- the crime of aggression.

Today in Geneva, the UN Special Rapporteur on Afghanistan presented a new report, detailing the systematic assault on the rights of women and girls by the Taliban. Meaningful international action is needed to end impunity for grave rights abuses.

It is a tremendous honour to learn Durham University will confer an honorary Doctor of Civil Law degree on me. I had a wonderful period in the early part of my career as a Lecturer Durham Law School - a lovely scholarly environment & the perfect launchpad for what I have gone on to do.

We urge the UN Human Rights Council to heed UNSR's recommendation for the establishment of an additional comprehensive independent accountability mechanism demonstrating that the international community will not turn away from human rights violations in Afghanistan.

This is what moral courage and acting with principles looks like. Well done to the Labour MPs who have stood up for those they represent and acted with their conscience. 👏👏👏 independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

If I published this video next week, I could be sent to prison for 14 years. That’s for expressing support for Palestine Action, who take direct action to stop genocide. We are heading to a very dark place. New video 👇 youtu.be/KgPy2QRS7r8

The court failed to meet our demands, but we achieved a partial suspension of UK arms to Israel, exposed govt complicity in war crimes & rallied public support. This is a breakthrough & just the start. We fight on for justice. Join us & GLAN | Global Legal Action Network 📍Royal Courts of Justice at 1PM

A court decision today has given the United Kingdom government a green light to continue to supply F-35 military jet components that are used by Israel in Gaza. This is a sad day for justice, accountability, and for the Palestinian people, who continue to face acts of genocide.

Every expert warned that the unilateral, unlawful use of force will destroy the entire nonproliferation regime. Disastrous.
