"When we went to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the main judicial body of the UN, to denounce Israel's violation of the Convention on Genocide, we did so as part of our commitment to defending international law and multilateral institutions. We acted to end Israel's impunity and ensure justice for a people suffering a genocide broadcast live, which you can see in real time at your fingertips. In the face of grave injustice, silence is complicity. As one of the greatest beneficiaries of international solidarity in the 20th century, we have no choice but to act, despite the challenges we face for deciding to act in defense of humanity. Nothing disturbs injustice more than collective voices that refuse to be silenced."
