Israel's aid delivery plans for Gaza: why they're problematic
Israel’s decision to transfer responsibility for distributing aid in Gaza through a new system that would sideline the UN and other aid agencies has been roundly rejected by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. Two dozen countries and the wider humanitarian aid network have also reacted strongly against the decision. Amra Lee explains why Israel’s move is so problematic.
How the West can stop Israel and end Gaza's 'intolerable' suffering
The British, French and Canadian leaders issued a joint statement on May 19 in which they condemned Israel’s “egregious actions” in Gaza, warning that concrete action could follow if it does not stop its military offensive. They said an 11-week blockade on humanitarian aid reaching the territory had led to an “intolerable” level of human suffering.

Why the EU’s Stance on Israel Is Starting to Change
The EU has stood in solidarity with Israel since the start of the war with Hamas, and has been consistent in saying the country has the right to defend itself. But the EU has always said that this has to be done in line with international law, which Israel has been accused of breaching. In July 2024 the International Court of Justice (ICJ) advised that Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories was unlawful.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, his former defence minister, Yoav Gallant, and Hamas leader, Mohammed Deif. The court claims both sides have committed crimes against humanity and war crimes from the day Hamas attacked Israel on October 7 onwards. Although a warrant was issued for Deif, Israel has said he was killed in an air strike in July. But Hamas has neither confirmed nor denied this claim.
What are the political ramifications of ICC’s arrest warrants against Israel’s prime minister?

Making universal education a priority for sustainable development: The EU, Vietnam and education
Education needs to be brought to the forefront of policies by states and international organisations to promote sustainable development. It is the priority of citizens worldwide. Only seven per cent of EU development aid goes to education. This must change. Policymakers must understand education policies as providing education for all, including children and adults, women and men, the disabled, the poor and minorities.

WSI European Collective Bargaining Report 2022 / 2023 With real wages falling by 4 per cent in 2022, workers in the European Union suffered an unprecedented loss in purchasing power. The reason for this was the rapid increase in consumer prices, behind which nominal wage growth fell significantly. Meanwhile, inflation is no longer driven by energy import prices, but by domestic factors. The increased profit margins of companies are a major reason for persistent inflation.

Where the ICC stands if war crimes are committed on either side of the Israel-Hamas war
Since Hamas launched its offensive in Israel on October 7 2023, drawing a swift and emphatic response from the Netanyahu government, at least 1,400 people in Israel and 5,000 people in Palestine have been killed. Many of these have been civilians – hundreds of Israelis at a music festival near the Re'im kibbutz, close to the border of Gaza. Hundreds of Palestinians were killed by an explosion at the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza.

Africa: Putin and the ICC - History Shows Just How Hard It Is to Bring a Head of State to Justice
The arrest warrants issued recently by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, and his children's commissioner, Maria Lvova-Belova, represent the first time officials of a permanent member of the United Nations security council have been indicted for a war crime. The charge is that they presided over the forced deportation of Ukrainian children from areas occupied by the Russian military.

The ICC is Investigating War Crimes in Ukraine—Could Putin be Indicted?
In addition to Gbagbo, the ICC has launched arrest warrants against only two other sitting or recently ousted heads of state, and neither were indicted. Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir was the first sitting head of state to be issued with an ICC arrest warrant. Since 2009, he has been wanted for crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide in Darfur in Sudan. In 2020, Sudan’s ruling military council agreed to hand him over to the ICC.
The ICC is investigating war crimes in Ukraine - could Putin be indicted? Original
The International Criminal Court has now launched an investigation into actions in Ukraine at the request of 39 countries. This is an important step in the global condemnation of the Russian invasion. Individual states, the European Union and the African Union have been lining up to condemn Russian president Vladimir Putin. Leaders, including Prime Minister Boris Johnson, have already accused Putin of war crimes while backing the ICC’s investigation.
Protective gear, rescue packages and research: now the EU spends big to beat coronavirus
In the event of a “natural or man-made disaster”, the European Union has a treaty-bound duty of solidarity. But the Italian president, Sergio Mattarella, has deplored the lack of help from other EU states in the early days of the crisis. Indeed, member states continue to disagree over the main financial package that will be needed to manage the economic fallout of the pandemic. But some other highly valuable work is being carried out by the EU and its states.
Why I write | openDemocracy
“Though my writing career has gone further than I ever imagined, it has come at a high personal price, namely life in exile.” The title of this piece is not original, taken from George Orwell’s biographical essay, but I could not find a better one when asked by openDemocracy to write about my journey in becoming a writer.
Campaigning achievements so far
I never knew Giulio Regeni personally. We corresponded briefly in 2014, as he was seeking advice on where to undertake his doctoral studies. We had quite a few friends in common though, as we were both young scholars from the same country, Italy, affiliated to institutions in the same country, the UK, and working broadly on similar topics, at the intersection between the neoliberal reforms of the Egyptian economy and authoritarian state power.
The search for truth over what happened to Giulio Regeni
The full truth is important not only for Giulio’s case, but also for the hundreds of Egyptian citizens who have disappeared, many of them almost certainly suffering the same grisly fate that he did. Probably seven or eight Italians out of every ten now know that there are human rights violations in Egypt. That Egypt isn’t only a place you visit to see the Pyramids or to go scuba-diving in the Red Sea. Why is that?
Regeni and cosmopolitanism: the false question of national belonging
"Where are you from?" - Italy." "Ah, you have Regeni. We have thousands of Regeni in Syria." At the beginning of the summer of 2016 I participated in a sit-in against the ongoing siege of the Syrian city of Darayya in the Hague. The sit-in was organized by Het Syrische Comitè (Lagnalida ҅am al-thawra al-suriyya fi Holanda), a non-profit organization based in the Netherlands that supports the Syrian opposition against the regime of Bashar Al-Assad.
Hindu nationalism and caste exclusion in Indian universities
Indian politics in 2016 has been marked by a rise of student protests and leading Indian universities have become battlegrounds for national politics. The ruling nationalist party has enabled Hindu nationalist activists to gain control over student politics. The label ‘anti-national’ has been used to curb politically articulate students who publicly question issues that are sensitive to the current government in Delhi.
Angel or demon of Burundi?
A leaked UN memo to the Security Council has warned that a peacekeeping force in Burundi would be unable to stop large-scale violence should it erupt in an ongoing crisis caused by President Pierre Nkurunziza’s election for a third term. However, it is not too late for Nkurunziza to choose his legacy: either be remembered as a war criminal facing prison or death, or renowned for solving a dangerous political situation.
President Nkurunziza of Burundi still has a choice: war criminal or peace bringer?
A leaked UN memo to the Security Council has warned that a peacekeeping force in the African nation of Burundi would be unable to stop large-scale violence should it erupt in an ongoing crisis caused by president Nkurunziza’s election for a third term. However it is not too late for Nkurunziza to choose his legacy: either be remembered as a war criminal facing prison or death, or renowned for solving a dangerous political situation.
2015: The Year in Elections
2015 has been a dramatic year in elections around the world: old leaders were toppled, upstarts and novices seized the helm, and embattled governments somehow managed to cling on. Here, the experts who covered them take stock of what’s happened—and look at what’s in store for 2016. Stephen Chan, School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London Zambia’s 2015 election was triggered when the incumbent president, Michael Sata, died in office.
Buhari Wins - but the New President of Nigeria Faces an Enormous Challenge
Nigerians have chosen General Muhammadu Buhari, a former military ruler, over incumbent Goodluck Jonathan, to be their president. Following an election that saw 41 people killed in the north of the country, Goodluck conceded defeat, and congratulated Buhari on his victory. Buhari’s military regime from 1983 to 1985 was draconian: he systematically repressed freedom of expression through the jailing of journalists, radical public intellectuals, and student protesters.
