Huge thanks to @IDRC_CRDI for the opportunity to expand our work in Liberia! With the imminent development of a war crimes court, it is a crucial time to grapple with questions of inclusion, priorities, and gendered justice, and how these link to the development of positive peace

Let's be clear. As the ICJ orders Israel to stop its offensive in Rafah, Israel intensifies its attacks on it. The news I am receiving from the people trapped therein are terrifying. Be sure: Israel will not stop this madness until WE make it stop. Member states must impose #sanctions, arms embargo and suspend diplo/political relations with Israel till it ceases its assault.

📃ICJ Orders #Israel to “Immediately Halt its Military Offensive”: International Community Must Ensure Israel’s Compliance With All Provisional Measures Orders @AlMezanCenter , @alhaq_org , and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) welcome the new provisional measures orderissued today by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the case concerning Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in the #Gaza Strip (South Africa v. Israel). This new order instructs Israel to, inter alia, “[i]mmediately halt its military offensive, and any other action in the Rafah Governorate, which may inflict on the Palestinian group in Gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part”, and “[m]aintain open the #Rafah crossing for unhindered provision at scale of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance”.  Click here to read the full statement👇 🔗tinyurl.com/2ft57s8h #AllEyesOnRafah #CeasefireNow #Gaza_in_Genocide #GazaGenocid #StopArmingIsrael #EndIsraeliImpuntity #Jabaliya

In McGill's request for an injunction against the Gaza solidarity encampment, they make what should be a deeply embarrassing claim: they've repeated asked the police to attack their students, but the police have urged them to resolve the situation peacefully.

Je suis très attristée et profondément touchée par la situation des bombardements dans les camps des déplacés proche de #Goma. #lushagala #Lac_vert,… que l’âme des victimes repose en paix. Je condamne ces actes barbares et le silence de la communauté régionale et internationale
