We were privileged to speak alongside Chris Sidoti at @amnesty’s event in Sydney in conversation with Nour Haydar from The Guardian, on how to reclaim the rules-based order. We provided an update on the impact of US sanctions on our work in protecting and defending human rights.
Limiting action to individual sanctions risks obscuring state responsibility and entrenching impunity, in violation of Third States’ legal obligations to ensure respect for international law. /7
#EndIsraeliImpunity
🧵 The latest round of sanctions against Israeli individuals & entities, announced by the UK, France, Canada, Norway & Australia are a step in the right direction, but fall far short of what is urgently required by third states under international law. /1

Calls for Israel to “clamp down” on settler violence and prosecute perpetrators are contradictory when both perpetrator and prosecutor operate within the same state apparatus. /6
Ireland's upcoming EU Presidency offers an opportunity to confront the EU's widening gap between its actions & its values.

Truly heartening to see reps from all political parties attend today's meeting.

What a disgrace! @NunezLaurent, the Minister of the Interior, is once again blocking the issuance of a visa for Shawan Jabarin.
Even though the administrative court had ruled that this refusal was illegal!
@SebLecornu has to stop these abuses of the Ministry of the Interior.
