It needs all the support possible

So proud of Zsófia Rába Tolga Dogan and Jan Jaroscak, three very talented students from our International and European law programme. Last week at an international press event at our University, they demonstrated the skills that got them all the way into the semi finals of the IBA ICC Moot Court competition! In this video they talk about being international students at The Hague University of Applied Sciences and the joy of studying law in The Hague, the City of Peace and Justice.

The lying Russian ambassador at the UN has been told the truth about Russian aggression wars during the last century and about his lies about the Ukrainian Government by the Polish ambassador in a meeting of the UN Security Council. The European Union and the USA must fight Russian aggression resolutely in order to curb continuing aggressive recolonization of Russia’s former colonies. And China too since also this land signed the Budapest Memorandum in 1992 together with Russia, USA and UK, thereby stating to defend Ukrainian sovereignty in change for Ukrain’s transfer to Russia of the atomic weapons that were stationed in Ukrain during Sovjet Russian colonization of Ukrain. In fact soldiers from China, USA and UK should fight side-by-side with Ukrainian soldiers according to this memorandum. China already has lost its credibility. USA and UK (and also the EU) will lose their credibility as powerful political actors totally if they would end their support of the struggling Ukrainian army. By the way a support that still has been too little too late to effectively kick out the Russian armies by now and has caused more casualties than would have been necessary to end this ten year continuing Russian aggression in Ukrain.

Educate yourself

There are many reasons why to be cynical, disheartened and angry by the decision to label the slogan 'from the river to the sea' as antisemitic. 1-it's uneducated, as it frames the slogan in the wrong context; 2- it ignores the current context and power dynamics, being this slogan used by pro Palestinian advocates AND Nethanyahu&co. alike. While the first ones demand equal rights for all (incl. Palestinians) during demonstrations, the second one(s) is in a position of power with the stated intention, and factual capacity, to remove Palestine from the map. 3- it makes this subject a false priority in the political agenda. 4- It comes after failed attempts to reach a majority on more substantial topics to stop this fanatic mass scale escalation on civilians, such as implementing a ceasefire, stopping selling F35 parts to Israel while they are being used to kill normal people in displaced settings, sanctioning Dutch investments in illegal Israeli settlements(according to their own policies). 4- It hinders freedom of speech and the tenure of police forces on public order, as judges in the past had already declared that this law is inapplicable. 5- This law does not make any group feel any safer than before. Obviously, a majority does not include all political parties. Let's remember that, as well. 👇🏽For Dutch speakers, hieronder de post van Gerard Jonkman, van The Rights Forum. 👇🏽

Good summary

Leadership is about reflecting on the past, checking your moral compass and plotting a course for yourself and others towards a greater good. When the perception of greater good becomes corrupted by hate or ignorance, it will be an act of love to strongly steer the person involved back to acceptable morals. Any parent raising an adolescent is very familiar with the process. Although it is difficult to execute in situations where you would like or expect the other to already have a strong moral compass. And if the moral compass is what the other wants, we should distance ourselves from it and if needed fight it. Or adjust our own compass. But only if we truely believe we are moving to a greater good. The case below is failing on multiple counts. Reflection did not yield compassion but hate. The moral compass is corrupted from a standpoint of the general view, as expressed by the UN, the Geneva conventions and the ICJ. And by supporting this, the Dutch government is showing its moral compass to have become corrupted to that standard as well, for reasons of fear or egotistical gain. Please, those with a moral compass that is still pointing to compassion and respect for international law, stay strong. For those protesting in the frontline: we are with you.

Drie dikke onafhankelijke rapporten over ernstige oorlogsmisdaden in Gaza Het is onbegrijpelijk dat de Nederlandse regering zo ontzettend ver af staat van alle bevoegde deskundigen en gerechtshoven. Het enige wat ze niet kan doen, is achteraf zeggen dit niet te hebben geweten. Ik raad iedereen aan die slechts zijdelings via nieuwsmedia een en ander volgt, om eens kennis te nemen van wat onafhankelijke deskundigen over het conflict melden. Dan wordt waarschijnlijk duidelijker waarom mensen zich zo druk maken over dit conflict. Deze rapporten laten niet na om de daden van zowel Hamas als Israel te onderzoeken, rapporteren en langs de meetlat van het internationaal recht te leggen. Het zijn rapporten van onafhankelijke deskundigen, die voor geen enkele regering of overheid werken. Het meest bijzondere - en hetgeen dat voor mij onbegrijpelijk blijft, en mij drijft tot het delen van informatie, analyses en ja (af en toe) ook wat activisme over dit conflict, is dat dit instanties zijn waar altijd en immer gehoor aan wordt gegeven. Altijd worden deze deskundigen serieus genomen, en wordt buitenlandbeleid afgestemd op de onderzoeksresultaten. Zeker in Nederland, als vaak trotse thuishaven van internationale gerechtshoven. Altijd, behalve in dit conflict. Ik vind het ontzettend belangrijk dat er naar eer en geweten informatie wordt gedeeld. Dat er met integriteit en zoveel mogelijk objectiviteit naar beleid en gedrag wordt gekeken. Van iedere partij in een conflict. Mensen hebben het recht correct, inhoudelijk, en onafhankelijk te worden geïnformeerd. En toch lukt dat vaak niet in dit conflict door alle machtsverhoudingen, (lobby-)belangen en politiek. Ook zaken die historici en wetenschappers van allerlei pluimage onberispelijk en onverbiddelijk hebben aangetoond, lijken in het politieke en publieke debat geenszins door te dringen. Zelfs zaken die in de academie slechts consensus opleveren, zijn in het publieke debat controversieel verklaard. Soit, hierbij. Doe er je voordeel mee. 1.
