The attack against the aid Freedom #flotilla in international waters is a blatant violation of the International and Humanitarian Law, as well as the Law of the Sea.
All states must condemn this new offensive against Peace, Multilateralism and the Democratic International Order.

Un mouvement qui nourrit la lassitude de ceux qui ne sont pas mobilisés.
