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.

Alright im really hoping the recent UNSC temporary ceasefire leads to a permanent one and a deal to release all palestinians imprisoned + permanent withdrawal of the IDF, BUT

UNTIL A PERMANENT CEASEFIRE HAPPENS DONT STOP MAKING NOISE

Im optimistic towards this! But this isnt the end of this!! Keep boycotting, protesting, calling the government, whatever you can!!

DONT STOP UNTIL PALESTINE IS FREE

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.

Timothy Snyder:

”The application of the word "russophobia" in this setting, the claim that Ukrainians are mentally ill rather than that they are experiencing an atrocity, is colonial rhetoric.  It serves as part of a larger practice of hate speech.  That is why this session is important: it helps us to see Russia's genocidal hate speech.  The idea that Ukrainians have a disease called "russophobia" is used as an argument to destroy them, along with the arguments that they are vermin, parasites, Satanists and so on.

Claiming to be the victim when you are in fact the aggressor is not a defense.  It is actually part of the crime.  Hate speech directed against Ukrainians is not part of the defense of the Russian Federation or its citizens.  It is an element of the crimes that Russian citizens are committing on Ukrainian territory.  In this sense, in calling this session, the Russian state has found a new way to confess to war crimes.”

Genuine question, if the UN / the UNSC isn’t a democracy…what is the actual point of it ?

"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

UN Security Council to vote on Gaza aid amid famine fears

The UN Security Council was expected to vote Friday on a resolution to increase aid to Gaza amid warnings that the Israel-Hamas war was pushing the enclave toward famine.

As the territory’s conditions deteriorate, the UN Security Council has been occupied with negotiating on a resolution that would increase aid deliveries.

The most recent draft, due to be voted on Friday (22 December), calls for “urgent steps to immediately allow safe and unhindered humanitarian access, and also for creating the conditions for a sustainable cessation of hostilities.” However, it does not call for an immediate cessation of hostilities.

Israel, with US support, opposed the term “ceasefire.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Wednesday that there would be no ceasefire in the Gaza Strip until Hamas was “eliminated.”

⭕️ 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.

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.
