- News
Antonio Guterres has invoked his little used powers to convene a Security Council meeting on Gaza and the US vetoed it. Ironically the day after, 9th December, was the International Day of Commemoration & Dignity of Victims of the Crime of Genocide & Prevention of this Crime. This past week also saw the 75th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights!
Is there a Middle Eastern dimension outside this universe where Universal Jurisdiction on Human Rights doesn’t apply?
Where are the warrants for the arrests of Hamas and Israeli leadership for crimes far more flagrant than those alleged against Vladimir Putin?
Craig Mokhiber, who resigned as NY Director for UN Commission on Human Rights over UN passivity on Gaza, discussed how human rights are impeded at the UN, the parlous prospects for Human Rights enforcement, and what the media’s role in it is with FPA President Ian Williams.
