With the multilateral system under pressure, the President of the UN General Assembly @UN_PGA Annalena Baerbock has urged Member States to “fight for the United Nations,” stressing that the world is at an urgent make‑or‑break moment. 📰 buff.ly/h3aD5gj search.app/Radhn

War & “Peacemaking,” Presidential Style. A U.S. President, After Claiming the Military’s “Biggest Victory of Them All,” Receives a #FIFAWorldCup Peace Prize The presidents and PM heads of states of the UN’s P5—the US, Russia, China, the UK, and France—have the greatest destructive power on the planet and can ignite war or proclaim ‘peace” at will. Domestically law and justice are two sides of the same coin. With no overarching global law international law means how to self-interpret code of conduct. International law and courts were never designed to restrain the P5; the Security Council’s Permanent Five sit above the law. Whatever their regime type, they become judge, jury, and executioner. Genuine peacemaking means the willingness to submit power to rules. Day 298 of 1001 Days to Abolish Wars #Venezolano #venezuelainvasion #NicolasMaduro @AKurmanaev @marianodealba @penfold_michael

Do Taiwanese have a choice? How Wars Brew - Test of Military Blockades: China–USA–Japan Taiwan was part of China for centuries, then Japan ruled for 50 years. After WWII, under Chiang Kai-Shek (US senate dubbed him 'Cash-My-Check'), Taiwan became a US proxy. Now another war seems to be brewing. Why not ask stressed Taiwanese—in Mandarin—what they want, in a referendum? With 'international law' which never was, and a UN rendered incompetent, justice for Taiwanese feels out of reach. The P5’s rule of force seems to be playing out.

One week of existential threats in action: #Iran - #Israel proxy wars last week went direct. After the Israeli attack on the Iranian embassy, Iran sent 300 #drones and missiles from thousands of kilometers toward Israel. Israel responded with its own missile and drone attack. While most of the Middle East was a no-fly zone, and #GPS signals were tampered with, we also witnessed devastating flooding in Dubai and the region. Terrifying how climate crisis can create a large metropolitan area with no rivers and miles away from the sea such devastation!

TARGETING FOOD, KITCHENS & AIDS: Starvation has always been a weapon of war Politicians portray wars as 'just' or within 'international law.' But war is about death and destruction. The latest suffering from starvation: Yemen: 17 mil, Ukraine: 1 of 5, Gaza: 1 of 2 (1.1 mil), Ethiopia/Tigray/ Amhara: 20 mil, Sudan & Darfur: 18 mil, Afghanistan: 15 mil, Haiti: 5 mil, Myanmar: 13 mil, Syria: 13 mil. According to WFP: of the 720 mil. suffering hunger every day, 70% are in conflict zones – Burkina Faso, Congo, Mali, Somalia & South Sudan among them. Thanks, UN, for reaching 150 mil. of them. But the (Dis)United Nations must eradicate wars, not just treat symptoms. Day 295 of 1001-Days to Make the UN Democratic.

Explainer: Why UN #Ceasefire Order Did Not Stop the Gaza Genocide Why in #Palestine_Genocide #UkraineWar & #sudan_war UN cannot stop hundreds of men, women, children, animals, and the environment from being destroyed and injured daily? Technical: To be enforceable, the resolution should have been under Chapter 7 of the Charter and contained the wording the Security Council remains 'seized of the matter.' Knowing this, the US Ambassador, while letting pass, instantly said it was 'unenforceable.' Therefore, the #genocide went on, perhaps to fool the #American #voters and international public opinion that this Superpower wants peace. Main Reason: The UN Charter has a birth defect—the (In)Security Council. The Council sits on top of the UN and its #Unequal and #Apartheid system enables the #P5: #USA #Russia #China #UK & #France the right to use the different forms of #Veto--the Hard, the Threat of, The Double Veto, and The Soft Veto--to undermine the majority will of the nations. 294 of 1001-Days To Stop All Wars @FranceskAlbs @andrewfeinstein laura_Elborno Zainab_walji #שָׁלוֹם #غزة

Act of Despair-All Wars Are Genocides The act of nations trying to subdue one another by killing and injuring thousands of people, destroying nature, sabotaging rights, and forcing migration, isn't that #genocide? The real message of those heroes in despair, in our dysfunctional world governance, committing #SelfImmolation is their cry that Wars have no winners or losers, that the flames consume us all! 293 of 1001-Days To Fix The UN Charter, To Make Wars Illegal Forever! #AaronBushnell #NormanMorrison #ThichQuangDuc @caitoz #UkraineWar #IsraelPalestineWar #Sudan_War #SFPromise @ChallengesFnd

21,000,000 KG of Ammonium Phosphate (NH4)2SO4 Down the Sea. The Only Environmental Casualty in the Yemen Wars? The Dis-United Nations #UNSC has been dysfunctional to prevent or end the #Yemeni #War in its 9th year. It is labeled ‘civil’ War but is as international as it gets. Many countries, including #Saudi Arabia, the USA, UK, UAE, Iran, Morocco, and Jordan have had direct military engagement, with many more supplying weapons. Including #mercenaries from #Australia & #Colombia. Results: Over 370,000 dead, millions injured, and over 17 Million Yemenis fighting starvation. Environmentally, it is a colossal disaster on land and sea. In addition to #Rubymar, the SFO Safer #oiltanker with 1.1 M barrels of oil, was drained, a threat, after 9 years, still waiting to be salvaged. 292 of 1001-Days to Enable the UN to Stop Wars @GlobalSolutions #اليمني #ClimateEmergency @RizviSalim @ecomarxi

Veto--Weapon of Mass Injustice What is a UN Veto? A Single NO vote that kills the will of the majority of nations in the (In)Security Council. Who possesses this weapon of Genocide? Only the Permanent Five. The #P5 only posses this weapon: the United States, Russia, the UK, China & France, the winners of #WW2 who dictated this unequal and #Apartheid system to create the #UNCharter. SOFT WEAPON with HARD Consequences: #Biden just cast its 3rd veto on #IsraelPalestineWar #ceasefire in 3 months to allow continuation of #genocide in #gaza and #Putin has done the same in the #UkraineWar to block peace and allow hundreds of thousands of our Ukrainian and Russian cousins to be killed and injured and millions to be displaced.

Why ‘International Law’ Is Non-Law? Why The World is Chaotic? We talk about international law, but why are these 'laws' illusive and ineffective? #InternationalLaw is Upside Down: STATES MAKE RULES for the planetary citizens--it's legitimate lawmakers, aren't we, the people: >Has NO HIERARCHY or APPEAL SYSTEM >It is in many pieces with CONFLICTING JURISDICTIONS >NOT INDEPENDENT of the P5 of the UN: USA, Russia, China, UK, and France >Limited or non-existing court system and NO ENFORCEMENT >It is OPTIONAL: Often NOT COMPULSORY. 290 of 1001-Days To Give The UNITED NATIONS a CONSTITUTION To Be THE GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE #Palestine_Genocide #UkraineRussiaWar #icj @NoelleQuenivet1 @j_e_brandt @dylanotes #IHL

American girl's dream of peace bulldozed in Gaza My name is Rachel Corrie, was the beginning of the 5th grader's story wishing for peace and perhaps military money going to the world's needy children and the poor.

Genocide YES Ceasefire NO - #ICJ Verdict Today’s political and contradictory #ICJRuling is because the International Court of Justice is NOT Independent. The #SecurityCouncil elects the 15 judges, and its Permanent-5 (USA, UK, China, Russia, and France) compose 1/3 of its 15 votes, and if any ruling, ONLY the Security Council can enforce it. With the #Veto it means the Council has never enforced a Contested Court Decision or Opinion. 288 of 1001-Days to End All Wars #ICJGazaGenocide #IsraelPalestineWar #SouthAfrica @worldfederalist #UkraineWar @tparsi @tmurithi12

Why 1001-Day Counter Sometimes Stops? The intense armed violence and mass killings, mutilations, migrations, and destruction of humans, animals, and the planet have clouded the rays of hope and have darkened the sun. We will not forget the suffering of our brothers and sisters in 7 wars on 3 continents in 2023, regardless of their #nationality #race #gender, or #religion. We will not forget these dark days. We will strive to make Wars Illegal and Abolished forever. Change the Charter of the Dis-United Nations--Make it Work!

S. Africa Vs. Israel —May Not STOP the War in Palestine, but will START International Law Revolution. #IntLaw is characterized by NO enforcement, hierarchy, appeals court, or due process of law, as we commonly enjoy in national laws. Worse yet, people don't legislate the laws; the States, regardless of the legitimacy of their governments, do. Further, it has easy exclusion and sunset clauses where a perpetrator state can easily exclude itself from the law. #SouthAfricaICJ #GenocideGaza Case against #Israel may not STOP the War in #Palestine but Will START an International Law REVOLUTION fueled by the Huge Gap Between Law and Justice.

Jo, thanks for your comment and activism. If you recall, in 2018 you helped CUNCR and DWB to do part of our seminar on 'How to Assemble Parliamentary Assemblies' at the EU Parliament. Realizing the potential and limitations of these types of assemblies. With the world's chaos it seems we now need to directly opt for a UN Parliament!

@Sharei_SM unfortunately and sadly very true 😔

Modern Wars Are On Children According to the UN 400M children live in conflict zones. Wars used to be fights between leaders against leaders and soldiers against soldiers. Modern Wars Are Against Civilians. As in #Hiroshima from the air, to the latest #Ukraine and #Palestine wars, and as drone operators from far away, we just push the button. We commit mass murder, knowing many children and their dreams are our 'collateral damage.'
