As the International Court of Justice takes its next steps on investigating and prosecuting war crimes in Israel’s war on Gaza, the top expert on Palestine at the United Nations is pushing for even more international accountability.
In a wide-ranging exclusive interview with The Intercept, U.N. special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories Francesca Albanese, called for top European Union officials — including European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen — to face charges of complicity in war crimes over their support for Israel during its 18-month assault on Gaza.
“The fact that the two highest figures of the EU continue business as usual engagements with Israel is beyond deplorable,” Albanese said. “I’m not someone who says, ‘History will judge them’ — they will have to be judged before then. And they will have to understand that immunity cannot equate with impunity.”
what would’ve you liked her to do at the UN? are you under the false impression that she’s not also applying internal pressure on the UN member states causing the genocide? is Israel not losing their shit at UN meetings every single time a UN official calls them out?
What makes you think the EU is any different?
Other than the obvious EU is a threat to Russia why would they be called out?
wdym by the EU isn’t any different? who are you comparing with here?
what does Russia have to do with this? you’ve deeply confused me
If you read the comment above mine you’d know it’s being compared to the UN
I asked for a reason other than benefiting Russia that people would go after the EU because it’s the most obvious reason and doesn’t need to be discussed
