Amnesty International has released its annual report assessing human rights in 155 countries. The report highlights Israel's assault on Gaza with evidence of war crimes continuing to mount, as well as U.S. failures to denounce rights violations committed by Israel. It also points to Russia's ongoing aggression against Ukraine, and the rise of authoritarianism and massive rights violations in Sudan, Ethiopia and Myanmar. We speak to Agnès Callamard, the organization's secretary general, who warns "the international system is on the brink of collapse" and decries the failure of rights mechanisms and Israel's top ally, the United States, to rein in its "unprecedented" assault on Gaza.

Standing against the Gaza genocide is not anti-Semitism...
Don't worry. That is a made up jew word. Ignore it.
According to Israel and mainstreamJewryit is a medieval blood libel. They have 2,000 years experience with Antisemitism. Let them decide. Not their enemies.
You are right, and anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism are NOT the same thing. BIG issue with this Israeli regime is Zionism and not Semitism. And not only real, religious or human Jews are Semites, for there are other people who also are. I'm not seriously educated about it but have read several times that there also are Arabs who are Semitic, without needing to also be Jewish. As I have gathered, Semitism can be a Jewish thing, but it can also simply be something like being hygienic, like keeping a kitchen and household or business (a restaurant, f.e.) clean, healthy.
I think Palestinians are also Semites.
What genicide? Typical words being thrown around by the left and you. Look up the word .If there is any genicide it’s the Palestinians in Gaza who continually say they want to eliminate all Jews and Christian’s. We’re is your outrage? Mmmm guess not.
called for Netanyahu arrests. what is the UN waiting for
Called for an increase in trans kids

So is United States of America,,child trafficking via open border sex trafficking,,political prosecution of Trump by Obama,, and let's see Ukraine,,, zelensky regime Nazism is unprecedented prosecution of opposition,, media is shut down,, tyrany churches burned prints imprisoned all big BS,,
If you want justice do all justice,, Israel is not worst then zekensky regime stop twisting things for your evil NWO agenda 😮😢🤮

Yes because at one time Assange said Russia is not the enemy, Israel is.

"We believe the price (600,000 dead Iraqi babies) is worth it." -- U.S. Secretary of State Albright, May 12, 1996
She is spot on. We need to take action now. Israel and western governments must be held accountable for their actions.
You support terrorism😅
Yes the Zionists running the western world must be stopped....who is going to stop them ???
By whom????? The international law is the western idea. Without the west there would be no "international law".
"Right on!"
You might as well ask to hold governments accountable for the wholesale deaths of indigenous people in the land they occupy.
Stop the Psychopaths!
They have all the power that’s the issue.

We mustn't let fascism prevail . Support the younger generations that are demanding change , it's their future not ours.
Remember my friend it’s NOT just isreal that are facsist .. think about it and ask yourself when the British was ‘ occupying Northern Ireland’ do you think they would flatten Northern Ireland and kill over 30,000 people???? Ok then ,
Unfortunately Fascism will take over once again and will include the US this time. Repeat of history except there is no FDR or Churchill
It's everybody's future those living now and the future..
I agree against facism.
Yes, they dont lnow what a woman is but they got this one right!
I hold the US in equal responsibility to the Gazan Genocide, without the US support, this would have been over long ago.
Yes they are complicit.

There's international law but it only applies to Africans and Latin Americans.
@@AR-vg8gc Please Explain. I would like to hear more.
True.
Which means law is arbitrary at the top and thus, is meaningless at every level, let anarchy rein.
There is it just doesn't apply to US, UK, Europe, and Israel...everyone else has to follow the laws...
American here: Im so angry at our government for their hand in this. I will keep calling and emailing my representatives until they finally hear me
I'm not sure they ever use their hearing aid. And do you seriously believe that they know where their glasses are . Aren't they a little bit to demented to remember that they can't see?

Some can see through clearly that this is support for Humus a terrorist organisation and Iran.
They probably hear you but refuse to acknowledge you.

or asking Zelenski to stop the Azov battalion
Did Germany see into the future of what these ppl really are ?

This is flagrant war crimes!
The ICJ & ICC have lost credibility. Politically and financially compromised. Dr Callamard speaks the truth but the calibre of politicians worldwide is pathetically low
Everyone must condemn Israeli war crimes.
And all the atrocities that Hamas performed are to be forgiven! Rape, genocide, hostage taking, both children and adults, stealing aid sent for the public, building tunnels under hospitals and schools to protect themselves but put citizens at risk? You must be one of them!
it's ethnic cleansing.

From my observation and historical market pattern, there might be a bit of turbulence in the market coming up, but here's the deal: Trying to guess what's going to happen next is less important than spreading your bets when trading and thinking long term. It's not about guessing the market's next move; it's about playing it smart and steady...managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 732k in the space of a few months... I'm especially grateful to Kerrie Farrell, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape...
As a beginner, it's essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable..
I appreciate the professionalism and dedication of the team behind Kerrie’s trade signal service...
On the grand scheme of things, once you understand the potential of trad!ng, you can bet on it but I think people need the education to fully understand..
Trading with an expert is the best strategy for beginners and busy investor s who have little or no time to monitor their trades...

Joe Biden needs to have a public trial. His sentence should be carried out in a stadium and broadcast on TV. He needs to be shown to the people of the world who won't ever stand for this again!
"Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
To support both Ukraine and Israel is a contradiction. Can't our government see that? This is insanity.

What a great woman. Truly.
What’s becoming so obvious to people now is that colonialism has never ended just rebranded with different terms. From Natives indigenous people being called “savages” in the old days to now being called “terrorist” by neocolonialists who are neoliberals, neoconservatives, and zionist.
1) Savages is now “terrorist”
2) Civilizing them is now “bringing them democracy”
We can all see Israel is a colonial project being supported by former and current colonials such as U.S, UK, and others who also control territories of indigenous natives in Caribbean Islands, Pacific Islands, Hawaii, and many more.
The liberation of Palestine will definitely give RISE to many indigenous natives around the world to free themselves from western domination. This is the underline ripple effect that the U.S government and its puppet allies don’t want to happen.

Both the international courts the ICJ and the ICC will be on trial if they don’t hold these countries to account.
Although i disagree with the CONTEXT of how and why Russia came to the point of going to war with Ukraine (which was clearly a provocation by the United States and NATO), the guest is very comprehensive and pointed in her delineation of the breakdown in the rule of international law. Self regulation obviously does not work.
Thank you Agnes Callamard, for this excellent summary of the alarming state of the world.

If ICJ really follows international
Laws, as a sole criminal court
Of justice, must issue WARRANT
of Arrest to Criminals that had
Committed clear cut Genocide,
Including those with Criminals.
That's not the ICJ's function. It is the role of the ICC. Do some research. The structures and responsibilities of both organizations are well described online on their respective websites.
Thanks, for yur reply..To response from yur point of
Views, in that case ICC, ICJ.. only good and best @
BLA..bla.. and bla..NO POWER TO ISSUE W. OF Arrest,
For criminals that had COMMITTED CRIMES FOR SO
many years...sorry to say, useless....
Crimes from Israelis forces does not started on October 2023, they have been committing them since 1949 when British colonialists establish Jewish state in lands of Palestine people and the United States, mainly, is co-responsible of all that for blocking all resolutions at UN related to creation of two independents states in accordance to what every party involved and the international community consider as reasonable and fair
Imagine occupying a land and then its people give up a piece of land, but you do not accept it. This is simply Israel
Before that.. 1949 my foot!. since the conception of Israel they have been a force for corruption only..
International organizations such as ICJ, UN, WHO, UNICEF and human right organization are paralyzed and they failed to protect innocent civilians….. 😢😢😢
Because YOU didn't allow them to.
Like attacking Israel 24/7 since years and ignoring the whole world.
They need to be disbanded if not fit for purpose and something else that is not incompetent to be replaced that can act.
Excellently said!!!!! It’s unbelievable that they have not been accountable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The propaganda is insane. How will they be held accountable ? They are clearly not slowing down.
The truth always need to be exposed for good all.
Biden and Blinkens' hearts cant be broken--they don't have hearts.

"The international system is collapsing." Last time that happened was in the 1930s, and we all know how that ended up. The irony of ironies is that the chief culprit now consists of the descendents of the chief victims of the chief culprit then.
Thanks lady
Exactly they are completely complicit.
What this broken record of a lady does not get is that if the UN charter was worth spit there never would have been a war in Ukraine in the first place.
In summary, some leaders have lost all respect for the sanctity of life.
If you feel as powerless as I did, please support Codepink with their Gaza floatilla! The more media attention they get the more the USA will be forced to choose between their own 1000 citizens or allowing Israel to keep committing war crimes. So share their videos!
The US is pressuring Turkey to stop the flotilla from leaving. Disgraceful.
Why Amnesty doesn’t push ICC for issuing warrant against war criminals?

We cannot ignore Jewish Students also protesting against the Genocide in Gaza or the fact that they are not playing the victim Like Zionists.

NATHANYAHU IS BINDED and ACCOUNTABLE for ALL WAR CRIMES Thank you 🌹
Sadly true and outta hand. Breaks my heart to see this chapter of humanity.
The International Criminal Court ( I.C.C. ) in The Hague issued an arrest warrant for Russia's Putin just days into the war against Ukraine when an unevacuated apartment block had been (accidentally according to Russia) bombed by Russia.
The I.C.C. issued an arrest warrant within 48 hours! where is Israel's Netanyahu's arrest warrant??!!
There is no email address or telephone number for the I.C.C. online, but there is a P.O. Box address, perhaps it is time that we should all write to them about its very hypocritical double standards!!
The ICC is a Kangaroo Court, you can’t be indicted if you’re in the club.
Human right was never the first intention of western countries it was the push of developping countries that push for its development.
Neither NATO nor brics. Neither the fascists at the pentagon, nor the ones in riyadh, New Delhi, the kremlin and Beijing. Real liberation for the oppressed, not more terrorist empires
Woh woh woh.. BRICS is not a military organization. It's an Economic one, the rival of G7. And, how do you propose to bring liberation, when you call global South countries as fascist empires? The world is becoming multipolar. In the global South, We, resist western imperialism, our own imperialism and theocratic fascism. Do you even have any idea, what it feels like to be born and raised in here. We depend on the West for so many things. Most global South countries got their independence 70 or so years ago. Before, calling others fascists, maybe you should look into your own backyard.
BRICS is not to be compared to NATO. It is an economic framework designed to free the world from the US/West designed global economic framework. Don't you find it funny that the USA can simply impose sanctions on you, block you from the international trade system and seize your dollar forex when they simply disagree with you even on cultural issues? All freedom lovers should, in fact, support BRICS and any other means of international trade that does not rely on the $.
