Our Co-Director Ousman Noor discussed Killer Robots, Israel and his dismissal from Stop Killer Robots after advocating for Palestine with the Islam Channel.

It's a long one and goes in to detail on what happened at the UN General Assembly in October, and Ousman's response.

A v.important conference on Killer Robots is happening right now in Austria. 140+ states have gathered to discuss new rules against autonomous weapons.

Oh look! Ursula von der Leyen remembered how to 'condemn' ! Just not Israel, which has killed 34,000 Palestinian people.

A year ago today I was making plans to go back to Sudan for the first time since 2009. A year ago today, a brutal war made my cousins, aunts, uncles flee for safety. I haven’t been able to write about it or process it publicly — it’s still not a news story to me. It’s my family.

People have been asking me what's the point of yesterday's successful Resolutions in the UN Human Rights Council, if they won't be enforced?

This is a crucial question. Here is my response.

The 3rd Resolution at UN Human Rights Council is on trade with the illegal Israeli settlements in occupied West Bank.

Germany 🇩🇪 states that it fully agrees that settlements are illegal under international law - but it will ABSTAIN on vote calling for an end to trade with them.
