.@UN_SPExperts welcome the start of hearings before @CIJ_ICJ of a case brought by South Africa concerning allegations that Israel is committing acts of genocide against the Palestinian people.
"ICJ decisions are final, binding, and not subject to appeal," stress the experts.

Gaza is in the dark, with all telecoms & internet services cut off.
People cannot call emergency services, check on loved ones’ safety, or share the horror of what is happening with the world.
Internet connectivity must be restored now.

UN experts denounce strikes on hospitals & schools in #Gaza: "Israeli military action in Gaza & mounting violence in #WestBank creates risk of genocide against Palestinians. #GazaUnderSiege is a violation of international law & is also unspeakably cruel."

International leaders should use their power to prevent atrocity crimes, beyond words of concern and condemnation.

There is already clear evidence that #WarCrimes may have been committed in #Israel & #Gaza, & all those targeting civilians must be held to account, says the @UN Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem Israel➡️ bit.ly/45xumik

There is a clear line from the calls for royal reform in 2020, started by @arnonnampa, the monarchy conversation proposed by Move Forward, and the past few months in TL which saw MF barred from forming a government over its 112 amendment call. bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-66…

Erasure of Palestinians' existence, whether through building colonies, the judaization of Jerusalem and its school textbooks, or a map brandished at the UN, is flagrantly unlawful. The UN cannot tolerate this affront to its core values & principles as enshrined in the UN Charter.

Adilur and Elan are convicted with two years of imprisonment and fines. A clear example of reprisal against human rights defenders in #Bangladesh. This arbitrary decision should be reversed @MaryLawlorhrds
✊🏼 Tomorrow, a crucial moment for justice as the verdict hearing for Adilur Rahman Khan and ASM Nasiruddin Elan of @Odhikar_bd unfolds. Their unwavering dedication to #humanrights in #Bangladesh has been met with unjust harassment. It's time to stand together in solidarity.

#Indonesia’s vague, coercive and discriminatory blasphemy law is being used again to punish people for peacefully exercising their views. The law violates the country’s int'l human rights commitments to respect & protect freedom of expression

📌 Intl community must take concrete actions to stop ongoing atrocities and hold junta accountable to its crimes.
