This is so timely and so very important. If you are able to find your way to Quebec City on Wednesday, November 4, you need to be here. Convened by the @CDIPH_ChaireJIP at @universitelaval's Faculty of Law, we have an incredible opportunity to spend the day with Tomoko Akane, the President of the International Criminal Court.
I'm looking forward to joining two of the sessions, a public symposium panel with wonderful colleagues exploring the imperative of "Confronting International Crimes: Building an Architecture of Justice," and then a conversation with President Akane following her evening keynote address. And there is much more...
President Akane's visit comes at a time when the @IntlCrimCourt is under unrelenting attack from powerful governments, led by Donald Trump and Marco Rubio, determined to defend absolute impunity for atrocity crimes and dismantle the vital project of international justice that human rights defenders, civil society organizations and 120+ other governments (including Canada) have so assiduously built up over the past 25+ years.
It is an incredible opportunity to listen, learn, engage, strategize, and lay out the road for renewed collective action.

Rights groups called on members of UN to oppose the candidacy of Lana Nusseibeh who denied her country's involvement in what is termed a genocide in Sudan

🚨 New from @hrw on race for new UN chief: “For years, @Lana_Nusseibeh has used her position to vehemently deny and divert attention from the UAE’s war crimes in Yemen and support for the abusive Rapid Support Forces in Sudan,” said HRW’s @BrunoStagno.

Few days later, just like that, a high-speed train collided with a stationary train in central #Spain, Israel's enemy in Europe. #Mossad?
El antisemitismo está creciendo en el mundo.
En España ha alcanzado cifras récord, llegando a un aumento de más del 86%, según informe del 2025 del Ministerio del Interior de España.
En una sociedad democrática, combatir el odio y la discriminación es responsabilidad de todos.
Las autoridades desempeñan un papel fundamental en esta tarea.

Not UN Secretary-General material at all.
Sudan asks Lana Nusseibeh: Would you back an independent investigation of your country supplying weapons in Sudan's civil war & its mass rapes?
Doesn't answer but reiterates a commitment to Art 100 of UN Charter & that she has left UAE foreign ministry. Says to refer Qs to them
[no acknowledgment of UAE's documented role in the war & resulting humanitarian crisis]

⛔️ A Palestinian father was shot dead by an Israeli sniper while trying to retrieve his son’s body after Israeli forces killed the child.‼️
⛔️The footage was documented by journalist Hassan Salih, who was later killed by Israel on May 13, 2025, while covering the atrocities in Gaza.‼️
With the full support of the United States and the complicity of some Western nations.
🇵🇸💢 Israeli forces killed four Palestinians in Gaza on Tuesday, including a 6-year-old girl, according to Palestinian news site Felesteen.
Those killed include:
➤ Tahani Mohammed Saeed Shalalfa, a girl, 6, who died of a gunshot wound from Israeli fire in al-Mawasi, the coastal tent area west of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, according to medical sources.
➤ Ahmed Yassin Bseiso, a young man, who died of wounds from an Israeli strike on al-Thawra Street in central Gaza City days earlier, according to local sources.
➤ A young man, not yet named in reports, shot dead by Israeli forces in Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza.
➤ An unnamed person whose body medics recovered after an Israeli strike on al-Mawasi in Rafah, Gaza's southernmost city.
▪️Israeli forces also wounded several Palestinians, according to Felesteen. A man was shot in the head in Qizan Rashwan, south of Khan Younis. Israeli gunboats fired heavily on the Gaza City coastline, wounding others, and more were wounded east of Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.
▪️Israeli forces also opened heavy fire on tents of displaced families west of Rafah. They shelled the Nuseirat and Bureij camps and struck the Mawasi area of Rafah with a drone. All of this came despite the ceasefire in effect since Oct. 10, 2025.

Number of Journalists killed in wars:
Vietnam: 63 journalists in 20 years.
World War II: 67 journalists in 7 years.
Gaza and Lebanon: 300+ journalists in 3 years.
This violates Article 79 of Additional Protocol (I) Geneva Conventions, but international law clearly doesn’t apply to Israel.

Yes Mr Blair:
Palestinians in Gaza and elsewhere need an end to genocide, Israel's militarised colonisation and apartheid.
They need respect for Intl Law and justice.
They also need no more advice from those who have profited from their misery for too long.
Be kind. Step aside

UN says it's genocide.
HRC says it's genocide.
PVA says it's genocide.
ICJ says it's genocide.
ICC says it's genocide.
Anyone who knows anything about genocide says it's genocide. Everyone is lying except Israel who are committing genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Still not a word on the need for accountability #sudan
Lana Nusseibeh on UAE [documented] role in aiding/abetting atrocities in Sudan:
Horrific conflict in Sudan will be a litmus test of the incoming SG; stopping it...will be my top priority
I have taken leave of absence from UAE MFA
[hard to separate her candidacy from her country as she has repeatedly denied UAE's role supplying weapons to RSF]
Will support fact-finding missions
Good news from Eastern Europe.
🇷🇸 #Serbia's Aleksandar #Vucic conceded defeat in an historic election on Sunday following a near to 70% turnout at polling stations – the highest since the break-up of Yugoslavia in 1992.
The snap election followed nearly two years of student-led demonstrations against perceived corruption and authoritarianism triggered by the deaths of 16 people when a train station canopy collapsed in the city of Novi Sad in 2024.

The most immoral army continues to slaughter children. Nearly daily.
UN bodies and human rights groups have documented the pattern in detail. Anyone who denies it should read these reports.
We keep receipts and there will be accountability.

“Lana Nusseibeh has been the face of a disastrous Emirates policy that has prolonged war and death. It is a scandal that she is even being considered”
