There should be no fear where there is courage, integrity and committment to justice and human rights without discrimination. The reputation of the ICC has always been at stake because of Palestine; now more than ever. mondoweiss.net/2024/11/turmo…

In Gaza, the collective shame of the century continues unabated and unstopped, in defiance of every norm of international law and morale. The Palestinians, exhausted by relentless attacks on their bodies and souls are abandoned to their tormentors. Shocking images of summary executions, mass forced displacements, and other egregious abuses strike us, leaving us stunned and bewildered, unable to comprehend that what is happening in Gaza is truly real. What a disgraceful testament to our global failure to protect basic human rights . The United Nations, once a believed beacon of hope and a force for peace, are crumbling under the weight of this shame - and the pressure of the inaction or complicity of its most powerful member states.

Precisely. We need to know what CONCRETE MEASURES countries like France, UK and Germany, among others, are TAKING to ensure that Israel withdraw immediately its illegal occupation but also STOP burning people alive, starve them to death, kill them en masse out of boredom or fun, as Israeli soldiers are doing in Gaza. Reality check time. Interestingly, some Member States - probably to divert the attention from their UNMET legal obligations - are going as far as smearing/defaming a UN Special Rapporteur whose sole responsibility is to expose their lack of compliance with intl law (and double standards) - like a UNwatcher whatsoever. That's sad.
