As CSW begins, the UK stands with the women and girls of Afghanistan. We are appalled by the intensification of the Taliban’s repression, including a new penal code which legitimises domestic violence. These horrific decrees must be reversed. Jacqui Smith at the UNSC.

Russia is trying to return us to a world of the past. A world of imperialism. A world of redrawing borders by force. A world without the United Nations Charter. We cannot allow that to happen. 🇬🇧🇺🇳 David Lammy in the UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine.

The IDF has killed starving Palestinian civilians trying to get aid. Settler terrorism and talk of imposing the illegal E1 settlement plan are flagrant attempts to prevent a Palestinian state. There is no justification for this. A two-state solution is the only path to peace.

The Knesset is considering legislation forbidding contact between the Israeli state and UNRWA. Without UNRWA, life-saving aid to Palestinian refugees would be severely hampered, if not impossible. We urge the Israeli Government to keep UNRWA’s ability to work untouched.

Israel has blocked aid from entering Gaza for over two months. Gazans are at risk of starvation. International law requires Israel to allow aid to get to civilians. Gaza is no exception to this rule. All European members of the Security Council call on Israel to let aid in now.

The UK is appalled by the Israeli strikes on al-Tabeen school. Palestinians have nowhere safe to turn. 86% of Gaza is under evacuation orders. Families have been repeatedly forced to move, with minimal notice given by Israel, to places that do not offer the safety they need.
