„UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk (…) called the attacks “appalling,” stating:

The scale of the killing and destruction in Lebanon today is nothing short of horrific. Such carnage, within hours of agreeing to a ceasefire with Iran, defies belief. It places enormous pressure on a fragile peace, which is so desperately needed by civilians.“

#Wikipedia - Origin of the concept of a #SacrificeZone

"According to the United Nations Human Rights Council [#UNHRC], the term Sacrifice zone emerged in the #ColdWar period when #NuclearTesting, conducted by #colonial powers, such as the #UnitedStates, #France, the #UnitedKingdom, and the #SovietUnion transformed sections of land into #uninhabitable and highly #radioactive areas. Sacrifice zones can be defined as communities that experience dangerous levels of hazardous contamination and waste exposure. Sacrifice zones are linked to #racism, #oppression, #patriarchy, and #colonialism, as they are hubs of #pollution that disproportionately target and harm the physical and mental health of marginalized groups who face overlapping forms of #oppressions.

According to Helen Huntington Smith, the term was first used in the U.S. discussing the long-term effects of #StripMining #coal in the American West in the 1970s. The National Academy of Sciences/National Academy of Engineering Study Committee on the Potential for Rehabilitating Lands Surface Mined for Coal in the Western United States produced a 1973 report that introduced the term, finding:

In each zone the probability of rehabilitating an area depends upon the land use objectives, the characteristics of the site, the technology available, and the skill with which this technology is applied. At the extremes, if surface mined lands are declared national sacrifice areas, all ecological zones have a high probability of being successfully rehabilitated. If, however, complete restoration is the objective, rehabilitation in each zone has no probability of success.

Similarly in 1975, Genevieve Atwood wrote in Scientific American:

Surface mining without #reclamation removes the land forever from #productive use; such land can best be classified as a #NationalSacrifice area. With successful reclamation, however, surface mining can become just one of a series of land uses that merely interrupt a current use and then return the land to an equivalent potential productivity or an even higher one.

Huntington Smith wrote in 1975, "The Panel that issued the cautious and scholarly National Academy of Sciences report unwittingly touched off a verbal bombshell" with the phrase National Sacrifice Area; "The words exploded in the Western press overnight. Seized upon by a people who felt themselves being served up as 'national sacrifices', they became a watchword and a rallying cry." The term sparked public debate, including among #environmentalists and politicians such as future Colorado governor Richard Lamm.

The term continued to be used in the context of strip mining until at least 1999: '#WestVirginia has become an environmental sacrifice zone'."

The #UNHRC in #Sudan:

We documented horrific violations last week in Al-Fashir

• The situation in Al-Fashir city is terrifying

• No one is safe

• Large numbers of women are being kidnapped

• The Rapid Support Forces and their allies are carrying out cleansing operations

• Extremely concerned about what is happening in Al-Fashir

• We documented assaults, torture, and sexual crimes

• Safe corridors must be provided for the exit of civilians

#UN Human Rights Office: Since October 2023, 982 Palestinians have been killed in the #WestBank by Israeli occupation forces and settlers, and over 42,000 have been displaced due to home demolitions and settler attacks.

@visegrad24 Why supply six batteries of destructive #PHL03 to a tyrant that has no qualms with murdering unarmed civilians, women and children - i.e., a war criminal and a country that despises the Geneva Conventions?

They lie, fabricate, hallucinate or even feign amnesia, but retribution hell awaits #Netanyahu, #Putain, #HunSen - the cold-blooded tyrants who ordered the callous #murders of innocent #women and #children with weapons of war, in flagrant violation of #GenevaConventions and devoid of basic human decency.

Israeli attacks on educational, religious and cultural sites in the #OccupiedPalestinianTerritory amount to #warCrimes and the crime against humanity of extermination, UN Commission says

"Like many women in Israel, I have also experienced a rude feminist awakening during this war. I’ve lost Palestinian comrades who did not like my condemnation of Hamas’ violence against Israeli women on October 7, and I’ve lost Jewish friends who regarded women in Gaza as legitimate targets.

"After some painful reflection, I’ve come to learn the strength and courage we women must cultivate to unequivocally denounce any violence against a woman’s body as abhorrent, whether" the aggressor is Palestinian or Israelian.
