The monstrosity of our time. We know and pretend not to know. We give it other names, we make up excuses. Israel is erasing Palestinians from Palestine - starving, torturing to death, pulverising homes, schools, churches, trees, human bodies, burning them in tents - and we

Chapeau! The president at Berlin University stands her ground preventing the police from entering the building explaining that she hasn't called them, that they are unwanted, and that students in solidarity with Palestine pose no threat.

As I seem to be shadowbanned, I repeat: The "riviera plan" for Gaza is nonsense, which nonetheless must be taken very seriously. President Trump has basically declared his intention to commit the int'l crime of forced displacement and resort to unlawful use of force against the

My respect for the brave people of Ukraine and its inspiring leader President Zelenskyy knows no bounds. I have never seen a leader show more respect and gratitude than President Zelenskyy has shown the West. This is while his people are fighting and dying, his cities suffer

I’d like you if you get a moment today, to listen to this speech given at the world-leading policy institute, Chatham House in London, by Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen from Finland. We hear from Trump that Russia is not a threat and they don’t have imperial ambitions. Listen

Photojournalist Giles Clarke visited #Sudan with UN Humanitarian & UNDP Sudan to portray stories of Sudanese resilience. Here he speaks about the immense impact funding cuts will have on the country. Thank you to journalist Isa Soares CNN for keeping the spotlight on Sudan.

Waging wars where full destruction is the goal. Dismembering children with no respite. Imposing sanctions on an int'l court. Unflagging a humanitarian ship moments before it gets hit by a drone. Not responding to SOS. This isn't a dystopic future. It is ALREADY the new normal.

I call it genocide because IT IS genocide. Defined by intent, not by method or means. Visible without magnification—if we look with context, at the victims: what they share is being part of a group, as such. Because of it, they get killed, tortured, maimed, starved, raped,

We, UN Independent Experts, urge Member States to protect the Flotilla—whose members are doing what humanity demands, international law protects, and governments too often choose to forget. Breaking the siege is a collective responsibility.

Sem það land sem hefur árum saman trónað efst á listum yfir friðsælustu lönd heims - og sem land sem á allt sitt undir því að alþjóðalögum sé fylgt, þá skora ég á Þorgerður Katrín Gunnarsdóttir og Kristrún Frostadóttir að svara þessu kalli og slást í hóp þessara þjóða og mæta í Bogotá.

Oh my goodness—how did I miss this until now? The timing of Israel’s assassination of Dr. Marwan al-Sultan, the director of the Indonesian Hospital and one of Gaza’s top cardiologists, was no coincidence. It happened on the very same day Gaza: Doctors Under Attack was scheduled

The absolute incapacity of Western leaders to enforce intl law when it comes to Israel is EPIC. Ministers, Prime Ministers, Presidents of Republic: Doing NOTHING, diverting attention, sanctioning individual ministers IS NOT enforcing the intl law that was developed after the
