Live coverage of the 11th of January 2024 has now begun.

Here is an amalgamation of news from the last near 2 hours.

Below is the opening of the ICJ case of South Africa VS Israel, given my intense disgust at my government for not backing this I'm pleased that one of the lawyers is an Irish woman. I watched it all earlier, it was utterly phenomenal. Don't wanna sit for 3 hours? Put it on 1.5x speed and cut it in half.

UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY PASSES RESOLUTION TO REEVALUATE PALESTINE UN MEMBERSHIP BID

The United Nations General Assembly passed on Friday a resolution calling for the reevaluation of Palestine's bid for membership to the General Assembly, and to grant the State of Palestine additional rights.

The resolution, which was drafted and pushed by the United Arab Emirates, co-sponsored by Turkiye, and signed onto by an additional 80 nations, was passed and adopted by an overwhelming majority of 143 member-states voting in favor, with just 9 countries voting against the resolution, and another 25 abstentions.

Further, the adopted resolution lamented the previous veto by the United States of a resolution calling for Palestinian membership, voted on in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), while calling for the preservation of Justice and respect for Palestinians' fundamental human rights.

The resolution emphasized the importance of respecting the territorial integrity of the occupied Palestinian territories and East Jerusalem, pointing out that Palestine is "qualified for membership in the United Nations" in accordance with UN Charter of Article 4. It also urged the UNSC to reconsider Palestine's membership bid "favorably."

Previously, in 2011, the State of Palestine applied for full membership at the United Nations, but could not gather enough support to pass a resolution in its favor, only receiving "permanent observer status" as of 2012.

The US ambassador bemoaned the fact that it took so long for the council to act, failing to mention that she vetoed an identical resolution four weeks ago.

"Ashi and Ms. [Plum] Bisessuale have made valid points...about Israel’s criminal liability. Whether a case is brought before the ICC or not, is the business of the ICC. I trust their judgment on this. Ms. [Tanya] Bendersnoot mentioned earlier about the temporary ceasefire. That truce was only a waiting time for soldiers. As the U.N. General Assembly called for, in Resolution ES-10/21, there has to be a permanent ceasefire and end to the bloodshed. It is shameful that the U.S. delegation vetoed a Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire and immediate release of hostages. Resolution 377 of the U.N. General Assembly must be invoked once more to get around this cowardly veto."- Britina

Security Council: A sustainable future for Syria depends on ending the war

[historyforfuture]

⭕️ Let the 3rd of August be a national and international day in support of Gaza and the prisoners, and a continuous activism until the genocidal war against our prisoners and the Palestinian people stops.

We call for effective and mass participation in this national and international day in defense of our prisoners and people in the Gaza Strip, to expose the occupation's brutal crimes against them, and to support their rights and just cause.

Well, that was expected.

Can the powers stop having pissing contests now and actually DO SOMETHING TO SAVE PALESTINE

Despite everything seeming normal when Susanna Booth begins to speak to the United Nations Security Council,

she suddenly stutters before launching into a rant about how humans don’t deserve to live because of all damage they’ve done to the Earth, not to mention the harms they cause each other.

That was the moment the Inspector knew something was seriously off.

Solar panels on the roof of the Conference Building: 193 panels in honour of 193 member states, gifted by India - UN Photo

The gift was likely a part of India's campaign to be elected for the UN Security Council. India was voted a non-permanent member in june 2020 and would serve a 2021-2022 term.

Gift-giving at the United Nations often serves a political function, and gifts are often used to project an image (such as commitment to climate change measures) or assert a member-state's presence and political weight.
