🚨 Israelische Streitkräfte haben Hunderte hungernde Palästinenser*innen getötet, während sie in #Gaza nach Essen gesucht haben.
Das sind keine Einzelfälle, sondern Kriegsverbrechen.

UK Plans AI Experiment on Children Seeking Asylum
The United Kingdom’s announcement on July 22 that it would use AI face-scanning technology to evaluate whether an asylum seeker is under age 18 threatens to harm children seeking refuge.
Did you know that the UK gov't is planning an AI experiment on children seeking asylum? 🤯
Experimenting with unproven tech to decide whether to protect a child is cruel and unconscionable. Do better, UK.

Desperate Pleas from Starving Palestinians Shouldn’t Be Ignored
Imagine watching your children cry inconsolably because their stomachs are cramping with emptiness and there’s nothing you can do. These are the desperate pleas coming out of Gaza.
The starvation of Palestinians, likely claiming thousands of lives, is entirely human-made. Germany / @diplo.de didn’t even join 28 states urging Israel to lift aid restrictions. But statements aren’t enough. States must act now. New from @hrw.org

Starvation in Gaza is the product of Israel’s intentional policy to use starvation of civilians as a weapon of war. Israeli authorities' conduct is amounting to the crime against humanity of extermination and acts of genocide.

Die Hungersnot in Gaza ist das Ergebnis der israelischen Politik, Hunger als Kriegswaffe einzusetzen. Israel hat sich des Verbrechens gegen die Menschlichkeit der Ausrottung und der Völkermordhandlungen schuldig gemacht.

EU-Israel: Refusal to suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement is a ‘cruel and unlawful betrayal’
European leaders had the opportunity to take a principled stand against Israel’s crimes, but instead gave it a greenlight to continue its genocide in Gaza, its unlawful occupation of the whole Occupie...
The EU’s refusal to suspend its agreement with Israel is a cruel and unlawful betrayal – of the European project and vision, predicated on upholding international law and fighting authoritarian practices, of the European Union’s own rules and of the human rights of Palestinians.

Peru: Congress Undermines Fight against Organized Crime
Laws passed by Peru’s Congress have undermined the independence and capacity of judges and prosecutors to fight organized crime.
Peru: Illegal mining is the largest offense leading to money laundering, yet Congress undermines the fight against organised crime by retroactively legalizing illegal deforestation & shielding illegal gold mining from prosecution.

How Trump Weaponized the US Budget Bill Overseas
The Trump administration has weaponized its bill to benefit the wealthiest US corporations by undermining global efforts to tax businesses fairly.

EU will #Lieferkettenrichtlinie entkernen – und die Bundesregierung nennt dies eine "Vereinfachung":
🔴Aus 5.500 verpflichteten Unternehmen werden 276.
🔴Zivilrechtliche Haftung? Auf Druck Berlins gestrichen.
🔴Indigene, Näher*innen, Bergarbeiter*innen? Kein Recht auf Entschädigung mehr, wenn Konzerne ihre Rechte verletzen.
Misereor: „Beschämend.“

As UN climate talks begin this week in Bonn, @hrw.org calls on governments to commit to ambitious national plans for a fossil fuel phaseout- with clear timelines.
Without bold action now, COP30 risks falling short on delivering a credible response to the climate crisis.
