UN's Albanese presents blistering report on complicity in Gaza genocide

Her report, which examines the role of 63 states in Israel's actions in both Gaza and the West Bank, calls out the multilateral system for decades of moral and political failure in a colonial world order sustained by a global system of complicity. Through unlawful actions and deliberate omissions, too many states have harmed, founded and shielded Israel's militarised apartheid, allowing its settler colonial enterprise to metastasise into genocide, the ultimate crime against the indigenous people of Palestine, she said.

From Auschwitz, to Bosnia, to Gaza: The price of silence

Genocide thrives when the world averts its eyes, and history is repeating before us. When we prevent or put an end to genocide, we honour the victims of past genocides and, in doing so, keep their memory alive. We draw a clear line between reasonable human behaviour and our capacity to inflict unimaginable violence on others. In doing so, we help ensure the suffering of the past is not repeated.
