UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency’s Post

We Will Not Be Broken We step into 2024 facing and feeling the intensifying and brutal pressure of Empire’s genocidal, extractive and exploitive violence in the US, Palestine, Congo, Sudan, Haiti, Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan and beyond.    We step into 2024 remembering and protecting the life-giving wisdom of our teachers and ancestors, who remind us of that which Empire cannot take away from us: our collective power when we act lovingly from the deep knowing of and commitment to our interconnection.    The future is relational. And the future is now.    We are being called to step into our collective power to protect one another and our humanity. We are being called to take risks in service of solidarity and collective freedom. We are being called (again) to recalibrate to a new reality in which our grief and rage weigh heavy alongside the beauty of our joy and hope.   May this year bring us all deep insight, meaningful connection, and renewed inspiration for how best to channel our gifts into powerful, liberating service for the benefit of all.

After thorough analysis I realised that there are two basic and fundamental structural defects in the constitution of UN which are 1. Veto Power System for the permanent members of the security council of UN. Since there is a body of all stakeholders in the form of General Assembly wherein all member- countries of the UN are represented there is absolutely no need of Security Council to accept or reject the resolutions passed by General Assembly. As such Security Council should be dissolved forthwith. 2. All member countries of UN are not signatory to the Rome statute consequently some countries are not under the International Criminal Court (ICC) whereas all the member countries have to be under the jurisdiction of ICC so that peace prevails in the world. . Due to these defects America has made a mockery of the UN as it is reduced to a puppet in the hands of the America. Consequently America with some allies have invaded several Muslim countries like Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya and looted these countries then leaving these countries after the loot is complete. Presently America with the help of Israel (both countries are not under the jurisdiction of ICC) is demolishing, doing cold blooded mass murders, devastation, destruction , displacement, ethenic cleansing, murder especially of children and women and genocide and the whole world including the UN have to be mute spectators of all this and nobody has the powers to question them because of these defects in the constitution of UN. More than seven decades have passed by but the above-mentioned defects in the constitution of UN were not rectified. Non-rectification of these defects has created a very grave situation as instead of peace maintaining organisation UN became a weapon of blackmailing and means of invading and looting the rich countries by some countries which were having the veto power also besides these countries were not signatory to the Rome statute consequently these countries were not under the jurisdiction of ICC. As the result these countries became law per se and virtually became terrorist countries of the world because they were not answerable to any forum for whatever they do. Now the climax of lawlessness has reached in Palestine where total devastation, destruction, cold blooded mass murders, genocide, ethenic cleansing, kidnapping and rape of innocent and unarmed civilians is being done and the whole world including UN have to be mute spectators because of the basic and fundamental defects in the constitution of UN have not been rectified. This is the highest time these defects are rectified by the General Assembly. Let General Assembly wake up after decades of slumber and rectify the defects as proposed above.

‎ ‎ Ceasefire NOW! Break the siege on Gaza. Lift the blockade on Gaza. Let Gaza live. Allow sufficient humanitarian aid and supplies including food, water, medicine, fuel, etc for all the 2.3 million Palestinians being starved to death and living under constant and relentless bombardment by the IOF for almost 6 months and counting now. End the occupation of Palestinian territories. Stop the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. End the ethno-facist (racist) settler colonial project's decades of impunity to commit crimes against humanity, war crimes, human rights violations against the Palestinian people and the deprivation of equality and civil rights for Palestinians in their own homeland since 1948. Hold the perpetrators of these crimes accountable individually (political leaders, military leaders,etc) and collectively (government and military) by the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice (ICJ) Now. Respect the right of return of Palestinians. History did not begin 6 months ago. End Apartheid. Let Palestine live. Let justice prevail. Palestinian lives matter. Let Palestinians live. Act now. Speak up. No justice. No peace. Never again is now. Free Palestine 🇵🇸 ‎ ‎

Simply and insightfully summarized!!

In Africa, the need for peace is paramount. Peace brings stability, unity, and progress to our diverse continent. It is the foundation upon which prosperity and development can thrive. Let us embrace dialogue, understanding, and respect for one another's differences. By working together, we can build a peaceful Africa that cherishes the values of harmony, justice, and equality. May peace prevail in every corner of our beloved continent.

I again reach out to my connections on LinkedIn and ask them to take a minute to read through the post below and help me answer the following questions: 1- Do they look like warmongers who want death to their neighbours? 2- Do they look like terrorists? 3- Do they look like Hamas Militants? 4- Do they look like people with hidden agendas of death and destruction? 5- And finally, what did they do to deserve this other than exist in this inhuman world of ours? I ask my connections - especially the foreign ones from Europe, from North America, from Asia, from Africa and from Latin America - why stay silent? Why stay immobile in the face of brutal killings and war crimes? Why view people like Maisara and Laura as less than humans or like a prominent figure in Is-r-l called them “human animals”? Imagine these were your family members, how would you feel? #ceasefire #freepalestine #savegaza
