Gaza is the scene of a live genocide that undermines our collective humanity. If urgent action is not taken, it will also become the graveyard of international law. The preservation of human rights and international law is fundamental to a peaceful world community.
Today we are gathered here to show solidarity with the Palestinians and to oppose the settler-colonial project in the historic PalestineWe are also here to save our collective humanity by reviving our shared commitment to international law.
The genocide
In the name of humanity, we demand the immediate implementation of concrete measures to bring a resolute end to the genocide in Gaza and Israel's annexation of the West Bank and Jerusalem.
The International Court of Justice (#ICJ) has issued a final ruling that the Israeli occupation of Palestine is illegal. We recognize the right of Palestinian refugees to return to their homeland. We support Palestinian self-determination. We strongly oppose all plans to displace the indigenous Palestinian population.
It is the military-industrial complex and the guardians of colonialism that profit from perpetual war and oppression.
We know that time and again it is the military-industrial complex and the guardians of colonialism that profit from perpetual war and oppression. But what is particularly diabolical about the settler-colonial occupation of Palestine is that many of those who facilitate and enable this genocide of the Palestinians are the same ones who created the settler-colonial state of Israel using land stolen from the Palestinians – to atone for Europe’s crimes during the Holocaust. These are so-called rule of law states that support and enable genocide, while at the same time they silence any criticism of their complicity in this new holocaust in Palestine.
Despite the courage of Palestinian journalists who continue to risk their lives to document the genocide, we know that Western media coverage of the genocide has been largely one-sided and weak. We urge all people to demand accountability from their own governments and to pressure the media to hold those in power accountable.
We urge the international community to take seriously the calls from Palestine to boycott, divest from, and sanction those associated with the ongoing genocide.
Militarization
Now it is time for you too FN takes responsibility for its role in the creation of Israel.
The United Nations established Israel 77 years ago, but to this day Israel shamelessly violates international law and consistently ignores its obligations as a UN member. In light of the grave and systematic crimes against humanity, we call on the UN and the international community to suspend Israel's rights and privileges in the UN and other international institutions. As long as Israel systematically violates its international obligations, the country should be excluded. This is an important deterrent and safeguards international law.
The entire world is being militarized on a scale we have never seen before. The United States and NATO establishes military bases all over the world, both overtly and covertly, without any meaningful public debate or consent. We call on the population to wake up and actively oppose this militarization, which does not ensure deterrence or national security, but instead escalates global tensions and triggers war.
We salute all medical, legal and other humanitarian organizations, such as UNRWA and all professionals working in various fields inside and outside Palestine to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people.
A people's court
We hereby take the initiative for a people's court that will systematically map the atrocities that have taken place in Gaza and the West Bank over the past year and a half, convict those responsible and hold them accountable for their crimes.
