We have just finished the first session of the referral to the International Court of Justice. Today was the day for the plaintiffs, so to speak, to bring their case before the court. South Africa is the actor of the moment, before Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has to respond to the case tomorrow. This alone is a great moment. Why? Because we’re so immersed in the appalling, shameful situation we all know already. I say that it is shameful because the group of big countries that lectures the whole world at every opportunity, calling for sanctions against this or that state, has now fallen silent and is allowing what is, at the very least, a growing number of war crimes.

...

There’s a point that needs to be understood, whose subtleties I wasn’t aware of before I got here. The essential question before the court is, basically, is this genocide or not? But that’s not what the court has to decide right now. That broader question will be judged on its merits, and that will take time. But right now, the court is ruling on the request for “provisional measures” [to prevent genocide, which would require immediate action, perhaps including a cease-fire]. That’s why we should first of all give a million thanks to the South African government for taking this initiative. As one of the representatives of a country that hasn’t made this request, I can assure you that I don’t feel very proud of it right now. The convention on genocide was also signed by France: the way it works is that the signatories can take action and call another convention signatory to account for its actions. So, what the court has to rule on is whether it takes the provisional measures requested by South Africa for the benefit of the Palestinians and the population of Gaza. If there are factors that suggest that this is going to end in genocide, then the court has the competence to say “stop” and take a decision. It wouldn’t be the first time, and this isn’t a special case. The court has already ruled on similar cases where there was the same accusation of genocide, for example the [genocide against the] Rohingya peoples. Several such instances were cited in the magnificent case that South Africa presented this morning. The decision will be taken quickly, since these are provisional measures against a massacre with irreparable consequences.

The Snow Wouldn’t Say That Fire Is Its Friend

This is a post for Russian citizens. Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s party held a press conference in the National Assembly, where the floor was given to three Russians. The names are familiar to you: Alexei Sakhnin, Andrei Rudoy, and Elizaveta Smirnova, who were presented as members of a “coalition of Russian socialists against the war.” The moderator of the discussion was His Majesty “La République, c’est…

Je réclame une minute de silence le temps que je me remette du fait que même Libé — Libé — trouve que la Macronnie exagère un peu avec les accusations grandiloquentes de vouloir faire enfiler à tous les Français des chaussures à fermeture éclair et des chapeaux gris. Encore que quand tu crois que Jean-Luc Mélenchon est d'extrême-gauche, ça sert à te placer bien clairement sur le spectre politique, ou à illustrer toute l'étendue de ta sapience politique, c'est selon.
