As long as Biden prioritizes Israel's interest over the US's, he simply can't get anything right. The UN vote today offered a great opportunity for healing. Instead, by senselessly insisting that the resolution is non-binding, he has actually managed to anger people even more!

The UN Security Council resolution demanding a #CeasefireNOW over the war in Gaza is binding. The United States doesn't get to make up its own reality or its own rules. It's binding. Period.

Good to have this analysis up on justice in conflict!

Seeing Jewish activists being arrested in Berlin for demanding peace and calling out Israel's crimes, while Israeli leaders are blindly supported & protected by their German allies, despite the gross int'l law violations and crimes, makes me really furious

Definitely worth a read!

Netanyahu reveals a plan to spend a staggering 19 Billion to turn the Gaza Strip into settlements… backed by Germany and the UK THIS WAS ALWAYS A GENOCIDE…🇵🇸💔

no reporting about this in mainstream western media as far as I can tell...

The ICC can no longer ignore the genocide in Gaza aje.io/9o76hm via Al Jazeera English

Very good that some Govs in west are now more forthcoming to the ICC Palestine inv (the same goes for the UK..), though one cannot help get the sense that changed gov positions reflect how the ICC Prosecutor is going about this inv and what appears as a form of alignment..

The terminology used by mainstream western media is a huge part of the problem for lack of accountability! BBC, in particular, often disgraceful in its coverage of the Gaza war/ genocide.

A very important statement by the Office of the Prosecutor, reminding interested parties that there is a difference between criticising the #ICC and threatening it. The former is healthy; the latter can be an offence against the administration of justice.

Now we know what was behind the ICC's extraordinary official statement a couple of days ago complaining of threats. US Senators sent the ICC chief prosecutor Karim A. A. Khan KC a letter (included in the article) where they literally write: "Target Israel and we will target you. If

Indisputably among the most significant dev. ever in ICL. Credit to Prosecutor Khan for not giving in to extensive pressure exercised by US and others against making this move! Now this process must be allowed to run w/o interference from States.

It's taken 22 years but the #ICC finally grew some teeth today. First time the Court has targeted high-ranking Western allies. But the history of international law tells us no sitting leader ever ends up in the dock - only when they're deposed. theguardian.com/law/article/20…

My take on the main objections raised by states against ICC prosecutor requests for arrest warrants in Palestine investigation

Probably one the pieces ever what the "rules-based international order" is about, and where it originates: newstatesman.com/international-…

Canada won't say how it will respect the ICJ's ruling that it must refrain from supporting 🇮🇱's illegal occupation of 🇵🇸. But it will sell $60 million of weapons to Israel, via the 🇺🇸, in violation of int'l & Canadian law: aljazeera.com/news/2024/8/15… #cdnpoli Mélanie Joly Bob Rae
