“International law demands the fence/wall and the settlements be removed from the Occupied Palestinian Territories but the reality on the ground is so distant from that, that it feels as though bulldozers have been driven straight through the Geneva Conventions and the International Court of Justice.”

“It is vital that the Greek authorities ensure protection to all asylum-seekers reaching the country. Instead, the Greek asylum system is grossly failing them. People who flee conflict, including many Syrians and Afghans who make it to the shores of Lesvos, are detained in police stations in overcrowded and poor conditions or in many cases left destitute to sleep in the streets.’”

“La Côte d’Ivoire doit briser le cycle des abus et de l’impunité. Pas un seul membre de l’armée nationale ni autre partisan du président Alassane Ouattara n’a pour l’instant été amené à rendre des comptes pour ses agissements, ce qui constitue un échec total sur le plan de l’établissement de l’état de droit et affaiblit gravement le processus de réconciliation entamé en juillet 2011”
