Appalling European vote count at last night's UNGA. Despite talking about importance of international law viz Russia's invasion of Ukraine, only 7 European states felt this legal right also applies to Palestinians. Shockingly 10 voted against ICJ referral, including UK & Germany.
The UN General Assembly votes to refer the question of the legality of Israel’s prolonged occupation of the Palestinian territories to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) -- an important milestone in efforts to hold Israel to account

We welcome news today that the @ICRC believes new legal rules are needed to respond to the moral, legal and humanitarian concerns posed by autonomy in weapons systems. This significant development inspires hope that a new legal reality is possible. bit.ly/3hlOiz5

Today, 19 years after the establishment of the #Guantanamo detention centre, we call for the urgent closure of this place of #torture, #arbitrariness & #injustice, the very existence of which is a disgrace for the #UnitedStates & the #InternationalCommunity as a whole.
Independent human rights experts appeal to the new #US Administration to immediately close the #GuantanamoBay detention centre. "The very existence of this facility is a disgrace for the United States and the international community as a whole." is.gd/A08ENv

While the #EU #ArmsIndustry profited from over 15.3 bn € in arms sales to #SaudiArabia and the #UAE between 2015 and 2019, Yemenis suffered airstrikes and armed attacks with devastating consequences. Help us to stop this injustice & sign our petition 👉 bit.ly/3p9duJO

„Dieser Krieg ist keine Tragödie, er ist ein Verbrechen. Und die, um die es jetzt gehen müsste, tauchen allenfalls als politisches Druckmittel auf: die Menschen von Idlib, die vor verschlossenen Grenzen ausharren und nicht zurückkönnen“ schreibt @AliceBota zeit.de/2020/11/syrien-wladi…

I wrote a final goodbye. I sign out today after 5 years in Beirut with an impossibly heavy heart as Syria faces its greatest tragedy yet. It's hard thing for journalist to acknowledge, looking back on a body of work, to realise it has had so little impact telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2020…
