🌐 With #UNGA underway, States must uphold the international rule of law to prevent the continuation of genocide in Gaza. There can be no environmental justice while the universal nature of human rights faces such grave violations. 🔗 Our statement:

International law is the foundation of peace, our global order & daily lives. Ignoring the law normalizes violations. Selective use of the law threatens justice. At the opening of the UN Human Rights Council @UN_HRC, I call on all States to wake up & act.

@walhinasional @_HEKS @ECCHRBerlin @Germanwatch 39/ This hearing made one thing clear: major polluters can only continue their reckless operations by seeking a licence to operate outside of the law - demanding to be dispensed from norms that apply to every other person. #MakePollutersPay #LossAndDamage #CallForClimateJustice

@walhinasional @_HEKS @ECCHRBerlin @Germanwatch 38/ 🙉 🙈 on the other side, the lawyers supporting Holcim combined traditional legal arguments historically used by polluters and already repeatedly dismissed by other courts with direct attacks against NGOs supporting the case.

@walhinasional @_HEKS @ECCHRBerlin @Germanwatch 37/ ⚖️ today, the lawyers supporting the four plaintiffs who traveled from Indonesia to demand justice made a powerful case to the Swiss judges urging them to apply the law as it currently stands and to refuse to grant impunity to climate polluters...

@walhinasional @_HEKS @ECCHRBerlin @Germanwatch 34/ and back... Holcim's legal team wrapped up its argument after having made one last time the tired argument that if Holcim's was to act benevolently and to slash its emissions, other polluters would just replace it (the "I am a better evil" argument)...
