❓Riskeert België meegezogen te worden in de illegale oorlog die de VS en Israël tegen Iran zijn begonnen wanneer het militaire steun verleent aan de Golfstaten?

The EU cannot pretend to defend multilateralism, IHL, rule of law & not implement #ICC or #ICJ decisions.
We cannot stay idle while the UN, its leaders & staffers are intimidated or attacked. @UNRWA & @UNOCHA are doing an indispensable work.
Accountability is key for peace. 3/5

Gaza. Are we at a Solferino moment? In 1862 Dunant’s account the battlefield suffering at Solferino led to the founding of the International Committee of the Red Cross and eventually modern humanitarian law.
