Right now, in Gaza, the situation is horrific and catastrophic.
Those hospitals and clinics that have not been evacuated are overwhelmed and are barely functioning. No electricity, no medical supplies. Surgeons in Al-Shifa hospital are now operating without painkillers.

Israel must lift the siege of Gaza, restore the electricity and water supply and allow humanitarian access. Its forces must abide by international humanitarian law and take all feasible precautions to protect civilians and refrain from indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks.

EU launches inquiry into handling of migrant disaster off Greek coast on.ft.com/3KewYK7

This case shows absurdity of our supposed efforts to counter smuggling. Such show trials, as we’ve shown in our work, seeks to detract attention from state ineptitude & lack of will to counter real issues. Follow Lina Vosyliūtė for cutting edge analysis link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Interesting and harrowing Border Criminologies blog on how UK is criminalsing people crossing the Channel in ‘small boats’ for arriving or for ‘facilitating the arrival of others’ through piloting the dinghy they travelled in

Successive Australian governments have deliberately kept refugee families apart, some for over a decade, as punishment and deterrence. We're supporting these families to make the largest UN complaint against the Australian Government. Josephine Langbien aljazeera.com/news/2023/6/20…

#Pylos tragedy shows how #MigrationEU went backwards to were we were before Mare Nostrum.. this time knowingly & intentionally disengaging and obstructing #SAR capabilities.

Hi Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz countries can't tackle climate change when they're drowning in debt. At #GlobalFinancialPact in Paris will you urgently champion the debt pause clause as a first step for nations on the frontlines of climate disaster? #PowerOurPlanet

This Guardian editorial is spot on: deadly shipwrecks, exploitation in Libya and violence in Tunisia, don’t stop EU’s attempts to outsource its responsibility and refrain from legal pathways. Far-right rhetoric has become mainstream politics. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

NEW: Tracking data of ships suggests the migrant boat that sank off Greece was hardly moving in the 7 hours before.

Totally contradicts Greek coastguard's claim it was on “steady course & speed” & so didn’t need rescue.

'Team Europe' embraces dictator Saied as its 'valuable partner', granting 1050 million in exchange for pulling back migrants escaping Tunisian violence and an increasing number of Tunisians persecuted by Saied. Not a single word about human rights, rule of law and democracy.

2/ Few people know about PeDRA–a project through which Frontex has been sharing personal data with Europol since 2016. Even fewer people are aware that a few months ago, the agency gave a green light for its expansion.

Such a great comment!

Orban regime 🇭🇺is a glaring crack in the EU’s functioning & capabilities to contain Russian aggression.

Thus, Rule of Law is not only our fundamental principle, but also our ultimate possibility to defend against the dictatorial regimes inside & out!
