Callamard says UNGA member states have done 'fuck all' to stop Gaza genocide
As the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) convenes, prominent voices from global civil society - including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and The Hague group - gathered on Thursday to call on the international community to “have courage” in confronting Israel’s continued violations.
Amnesty International’s secretary general, Agnes Callamard, presented a newly released report by the organisation, naming corporations complicit in aiding and abetting Israel’s genocide in Gaza and prolonged occupation of Palestine - including Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Palantir Technologies, and HD Hyundai.
She stated that Amnesty is following a path that was paved by numerous organisations before, which aim to target the “global political economy of oppression”.
"We need to stop the global political economy that is sustaining Israel's crimes," Callamard told Middle East Eye.
