StopGenocide.com will be carrying a livestream of the U.N. meetings that begin at 9 a.m. ET Tuesday, featuring real-time critical analysis.
The organizers scrutinize not just the U.S. and Israeli governments, but others as well for using rhetoric to effectively normalize genocide. The U.N. Secretary General refuses to use the term “genocide” in spite of the recent findings of the U.N. Independent Commission of Inquiry, which stated that “since at least 26 January 2024, when the International Court of Justice ordered its first provisional measures, all States Parties to the Genocide Convention, and all other States too, have been on notice of a serious risk that genocide was being or would be committed. As such, the duty to prevent genocide was triggered due to the actual or constructive knowledge of the immediate plausibility that genocide was being or was about to be committed.”
