🌐 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 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)...
