At today’s #UNSC Middle East meeting with Sigrid Kaag,🇨🇭Switzerland:
➡️Recalled that IHL, Security Council resolutions and CIJ_ICJ provisional measures must be implemented to ensure protection of civilians, a ceasefire, humanitarian access and liberation of hostages.

In the face of multiplying conflicts, the world is reaping the terrifying consequences – with civilians paying the ultimate price.

Amnesty International's State of the World’s Human Rights’ report is out now 👇

As 100s of students were arrested for exercising their right to p/assembly in support of #Palestine , I remind Columbia University to respect academic freedoms and student’s fundamental rights. The right to p/assembly is key for people to speak out against injustices& to mobilise for  #peace

My latest piece: 'The tail-spin of violence between Israel and Iran is a bitter lesson on what happens when we let the law of the jungle smother the rule of law' smh.com.au/world/middle-e…

All schools in #Gaza have been closed for 625,000 students for 6 months

Norway is deeply troubled that nearly 90% of schools in Gaza are damaged or destroyed

All parties have a duty to protect children & their right to education

These attacks must stop
#SafeSchoolsDeclaration

A short(ish) 🧵 on reports that Netanyahu and his government are in emergency talks over credible 'information' they have received that the #ICC plans to issue warrants against senior figures in the Israeli government, including Netanyahu.

'Liechtenstein is of the view that Palestine fulfills the basic criteria for statehood under international law.'

Sounds like recognition to me.

(The whole speech was, as a matter of international law, pure fire)

'Spain will recognize the State of Palestine because the people of Palestine cannot be condemned to be a people of refugees.'

'Spain will recognize a Palestinian State because they have a right to a future with hope'

Disappointed at outcome of UN Security Council vote on Palestinian UN membership.

It is past time for Palestine to take its rightful place amongst the nations of the world. 🇮🇪 fully supports UN membership and will vote in favour of any UNGA resolution to that end.

Norway regrets that the Security Council did not agree on admitting #Palestine as a full member of the UN.

We would have voted in favour.

Norway is a staunch supporter of Palestine’s right to statehood. The #TwoStateSolution is the only way to durable peace between 🇵🇸 & 🇮🇱.

Israel’s latest strikes on Iran are another violation of the prohibition on the use of military force under international law & the UN Charter, and threaten the human right to life

An illegal reprisal to an illegal reprisal to an illegal attack.

I told the Security Council: Calls for UNRWA’s closure are not about adherence to humanitarian principles.
They are about ending the refugee status of millions of Palestinians.

They seek to change the long-standing political parameters for #peace in the occupied Palestinian

The United States just vetoed a Security Council resolution allowing the State of Palestine to join the UN as a full member.

A Post investigation has found that Israeli vehicles were present in the area and that Israeli weapons likely caused the visible damage in the killing of 6-year-old Hind Rajab and eight others in Gaza City on January 29.

Before she was killed, Rajab called the Palestinian Red

Important new report by Amnesty International on violations of international law in detention in north-east Syria

UN report reflects OHCHR's repeated concerns about mass detention, torture & ill-treatment of Palestinians detained by Israel from #Gaza . Israel must immediately end ill-treatment & release detainees unless promptly charged for internationally recognizable crimes & fairly tried.

UN experts urge #Israel and #Iran to de-escalate conflict to protect #HumanRights , emphasizing that retaliatory military attacks violate the right to life and must cease immediately.
