Click 'Show more' to read the comment in full:
"The International Court of Justice has delivered a landmark ruling to protect Palestinians in Gaza from acts of genocide. Israel is obliged under international law to abide by the Court’s binding judgement and implement all the provisional measures with immediate effect. Israel’s allies, in particular the United States, must also respect the Court’s ruling and refrain from any statements or actions that would undermine the Court’s authority. All parties to the conflict must comply with international humanitarian law and end the suffering of civilians now. The rule of law must be upheld, always."

This week, I spoke at the launch of the 6th Report on the #EU#IHL Guidelines: “Around the world today, lives are lost, destroyed and uprooted, and human dignity is violated, not for lack of rules, but due to a failure to respect existing rules.” https://t.co/MpY4ft10I5
Women and girls cannot be silenced.
Even a simple gesture can make a big difference in someone’s life. It is everybody’s duty to know how to listen to a cry for help.
In the EU and across the world, 1 in 3 women have suffered from physical, sexual or psychological violence. And it gets even worse in time of crises.
Ending violence against women means more than striving for gender equality. It means urgently bringing the perpetrators to justice.
The time for justice and equality is now.
