Subject: Demand Accountability: AIPAC Must Register as a Foreign Lobby Matthew G. Olsen, Assistant Attorney General for National Security Department of Justice/NSD FARA Unit 202-233-0776 / fara.public@usdoj.gov Dear Mr. Olsen, In the spirit of justice and transparency, we urge you to require the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) to register as a foreign lobby under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). The influence of AIPAC on American policies demands scrutiny. By registering under FARA, AIPAC would operate with transparency, ensuring the American public knows the extent of foreign influence on domestic affairs. We believe accountability is essential to uphold the integrity of our democratic processes. It's time to act. The elected officials of the United States are elected to represent and further the interests and wellbeing of the PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES. Genocide, Apartheid, War Crimes, and unwavering support for the entity guilty of these… is NOT in our best interests. Our tax dollars being spent to support Zionists’ atrocities is NOT in our best interests. Supporting Zionist attacks on other countries, dragging the US into what could escalate into WWIII… is not in our best interests. AIPAC’s access and influence over our elected officials to spend US tax dollars in the service of a foreign power who commits these atrocious acts… is not in our best interests. #RegisterAIPAC #DemandTransparency #FARAforAIPAC #AccountabilityNow #DarkMoneyOutofPolictics #StopBuyingElections
NEWS: The 15th AUPSC and EUPSC consultative meeting concluded on Friday. We learned that while the two sides achieved consensus on all the agenda items of the meeting, disagreement over reference to Ukraine, raised under AOB, derailed the adoption of a joint communique for a third consecutive year. What makes this year different is that beyond the proposal from the EU side on inclusion of language on Ukraine, there was proposal from the AU side on the inclusion of language on Gaza. Beyond policy and mandate differences, the inability of the two sides to adopt a joint communique also highlights major gaps in their working methods. For further background, read our Ideas Indaba below.
📢 NEW: As AU PSC & EU PSC finalise prep for their meeting, our latest Ideas Indaba examines whether the two sides will have a repeat of what transpired during the past two consultative meetings & fail to adopt a communiqué or avoid such a recurrence. https://lnkd.in/dxiU3Ec6

Global organization were established for a cause, very important once, when the world were bleeding. People who survived the worst experience put many efforts to support thriving of humanity. Nowadays so called "conflicts" are a huge challenge for current generation of local and global leaders. What do we support? Are the #UN values still in place or should be revised? Do we align our actions with these #values, or which one? Despite the answer, to be honest with ouselves is critically important. Finally, In formal terms, the case of this meeting is a crime. In moral one: "The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil." (c, Hannah Arendt) __ P.S.: And for ones who may missed some other European #news: * Last week: Russia used about 20 missiles of various types, more than 1,100 guided aerial bombs and 560 drones against civilian Ukrainians. * Previous (Monday) night 100 drones were used againsts #Ukrainian cities and towns. * Last evening and this night balistics and 48 drones damaged lives in Kyiv, Kryvyi Rig, Kharkiv. (much more attacks happen on the frontline. These awfull numbers refers to other regions). #goodmorning
📢STATEMENT: We condemn the actions of United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres to travel to #Kazan - Russia, to participate in the BRICS Summit 2024 and to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Guidelines are in place to regulate possible meetings of UN Secretariat staff with individuals subject to arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court. Such a meeting not only undermines the authority of the #ICC and the inviolability of international justice, but also calls into question the values of the UN. In this regard, we consider it necessary to take the following steps: 1️⃣ We call on the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute and the relevant UN bodies to react to the current situation and take measures to prevent similar incidents in the future. 2️⃣ We call on the International Criminal Court and the Office of the Prosecutor to react to this visit and meeting as undermining the credibility of the ICC’s decisions and the investigation of the most serious crimes of concern to the international community as a whole, which threaten the peace, security and well-being of the world. 3️⃣ We hereby request the Office of the ICC Prosecutor, in accordance with Article 18 of the Relationship Agreement between the United Nations and the ICC, to request from Mr. António Guterres any information that was obtained during his meeting with the suspect (Vladimir Putin) and may be useful to the investigation.

THE TIME FOR CHANGE IS NOW! Every single country in the world including the USA must recognise the right of full membership for #Palestine to the United Nations a two state solution will not be for the Israeli government to decide... They are the occupiers and should simply follow the ruling of the highest court on this planet..the International Court of Justice (ICJ) 'It found that Israel is obligated to end its illegal military occupation without Palestinian concessions or agreement. The court referenced the Fourth Geneva Convention provision establishing that agreements made between an occupying power and an occupied population are invalid.' The time for justice and peace is now! The USA must respect international law like they expect all other countries to do! Israel’s Settlements Have No Legal Validity, Constitute Flagrant Violation of International Law, the UN Security Council Reaffirms 14 Delegations in Favour of Resolution 2334 (2016) as United States Abstains The Security Council reaffirmed that Israel’s establishment of settlements in Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem, had no legal validity, constituting a flagrant violation under international law and a major obstacle to the vision of two States living side-by-side in peace and security, within internationally recognized borders. Tme for the entire world to recognise Palestinian Statehood!
🔴 Joint Statement by Ukrainian NGOs on the Meeting Between UN Secretary-General António Guterres and Vladimir Putin Today, we raise our voices in strong condemnation of the meeting between United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres and Vladimir Putin in Kazan, Russia, as part of the BRICS summit. Let’s not forget: Putin is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for war crimes, including the illegal deportation of children from Ukraine. This meeting undermines the authority of the ICC and erodes the principles of international justice that the UN claims to uphold. 🔍 In 2013, guidelines were set by the UN to regulate interactions with individuals subject to ICC arrest warrants. These guidelines state that meetings with such individuals should be strictly limited, yet no adequate justification has been provided for this meeting. This disregard for established rules weakens the legitimacy of the UN’s commitment to justice and human rights. We urge: 1️⃣ The Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute and relevant UN bodies to take immediate action to prevent similar incidents in the future. 2️⃣ The International Criminal Court and the Office of the Prosecutor to respond to this breach of international justice standards, which threatens global peace, security, and the integrity of the ICC. 3️⃣ The Office of the ICC Prosecutor to request information from Mr. Guterres on his meeting with the suspect, as outlined in Article 18 of the UN-ICC Relationship Agreement. The UN must act as a moral guide and stand firm on the principles of justice and accountability. 🔗 Statement: https://lnkd.in/d47QC8qV #JusticeForUkraine #UNday #InternationalLaw #UnitedNations #ICC #BRICS #Ukraine #HumanRights
