"The University Network for Human Rights (#UNHR), alongside scholars at programs, clinics, and projects at Boston University, #Cornell, University of Pretoria, and #Yale, sought to determine whether Israel’s actions meet the legal threshold of genocide. This meticulous analysis is delineated in painstaking depth and detail in a report published earlier this month. In it, we found the evidence of genocide was clear and overwhelming."

    This commitment extends beyond 🇪🇺 EU borders, including candidate countries.

    "We understand the new law will be reviewed by the Supreme Court of India and hope it will consider carefully the compatibility of the law with India's international human rights obligations," Laurence said.
