Gearóid Ó Cuinn Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson 🐙 Naomi Klein Very proud to have represented two courageous #Barbuda land defenders before the Privy Council today in their important appeal. Great to have been working with my brilliant colleagues @_lesliethomas, Stephen Cottle, Thalia Maragh, Adam Riley and Theo Solley 🥑 and David Watkinson!

It’s very rare for Human Rights Watch to praise a government for getting something right. Listen to Andrew Stroehlein explain how #Belgium is leading the way on the #Gaza crisis: trib.al/MdMjC7A

The office building of @Enabel, the Belgian Agency for Development Cooperation, in #Gaza has been bombed and is completely destroyed. Attacking civilian buildings is and remains totally unacceptable. Together with Hadja Lahbib, I will summon the Israeli ambassador.

The Privy Council just ruled that citizens in Eastern Caribbean Community have the right to act in defense of their territory, even when billionaires and governments build airports w/o permit and claim that it is too late to act. jcpc.uk/cases/jcpc-202… well done SaveBarbuda!

Celebrations on Barbuda begin early today as John and Jackie have won their appeal which challenged a decision denying them the right to fight a destructive airport development on #Barbuda!
