What can be expected from the international community?

2014 is the UN International Year of Solidarity with the Palestinian people and yet on 30 July, the Commissioner-General of the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees, UNWRA, said about the shelling of a school in Gaza where sheltering children were sleeping, “This is an affront to all of us, a source of universal shame. Today the World stands disgraced”.

The tragedy of what has happened and continues to happen in Gaza must make us all question what can be expected from the International Community, including the UN and all its agencies, and the International Criminal Court. We will be addressing these issues and discussing what we, in the international solidarity and boycott movements, can do.
