#UN / ILO formally recognises Palestine

#ILO recognizes Palestine as observer state. The decision aligns with the UN resolution calling for expanded participation rights for Palestine in UN agencies, strengthening the ability of Palestinian representatives to defend workers' rights and contribute to ILO discussions.

The ITUC calls for urgent action, including a ceasefire in #Gaza, release of hostages, humanitarian access, and support for the recognition of Palestine.

www.ituc-csi.orgILO Governing Body recognises Palestine as a state In a significant decision, the Governing Body of the International Labour Organization (ILO) has formally recognised Palestine as a state, shifting its status from a ‘liberation movement' to a ‘non-member observer state' within the organisation. The ITUC worked closely with the Palestinian Authority to get this important issue on the agenda of the ILO Governing Body. While this change affirms many rights and privileges for Palestine within ILO meetings and activities, it does not grant (…)

Tackling climate change will involve (richer) countries investing in measures in other (lower income) countries.

But how do you know the measures actually reduces emissions, and isn’t “hot air”?

A colleague, Martin Hession, and Maria al Joshi, explain that major progress has been agreed at the Baku Climate COP.

"Russian asset Trump led a violent insurrection against the American people’s democratic choice in 2021.

Now possessing unchecked power, Trump is using the monopoly of state violence to trample the freedoms of assembly and speech in #California.

It’s what Putin’s Gauleiters do."

President Zelenskyy:

We counted on 20,000 missiles for #Ukraine to fight Shahed drones [promised by the previous US administration].

The United States now moved them to the Middle East."

He explained that the deliveries had been agreed upon with the Biden administration. They were anti-drone missiles.

Europe must finally stop pinning its hopes on Trump – Trump is aiding putin's genocide against Ukrainians. His actions reveal everything.

Trump is a filthy traitor.

"The Trump Administration’s calling on the #California National Guard without the authorization of the Governor is unprecedented.

This action is designed to inflame tensions, sow chaos, and escalate the situation.

If the Guard is needed to restore peace, the Governor will ask for it. But continuing down this path will erode trust in the National Guard and set a dangerous precedent for unilateral misuse of the Guard across the country.

Violence must stop, and we need to keep the focus on protecting fundamental rights.

There is nothing President Trump would like more than a violent confrontation with protestors to justify the unjustifiable — invocation of the Insurrection Act or some form of martial law."

-Senator Adam Schiff

Trump couldn’t be bothered to deploy the National Guard on January 6th when his supporters brutally assaulted cops who begged for help.

No one in #CA has asked for the Guard today - not law enforcement, not local officials - no one. This is purely a fascist republican production.

During his first term, Trump asked Defense Secretary Mark Esper to shoot protesters. Esper refused.

Now he has Pete Hegseth. God help us all.

President Zelenskyy: "As of now, more than 40 wounded and three killed in Kharkiv due to Russian strikes. Another brutal attack. Airbombs targeting civilians—near even a children's railway. This has no military sense, pure terrorism. Over three years of full-scale war, this cannot be ignored or overlooked. This is not a game. Every day we lose people because Russia feels impunity. A firm compulsion of Russia to peace is urgently needed."

Putin's Russian forces mass murder Ukrainians everyday and makes hundreds homeless everyday. WHEN WILL Ukraine's partners stop Russian terror?

Two hours of explosions. Over 50 drones. Overnight, Russia launched a massive, combined attack against Kharkiv, striking the city with dozens of drones, guided bombs, and missiles. Explosions started at 3 am, hitting apartment blocks and private homes. Putin decided to kill them while they slept.

At least three people were killed and 21 injured. Among the wounded – a 1.5-month-old baby and a 14-year-old girl. Fires broke out in multi-story buildings, and rescuers worked through the night to pull people from the rubble.

45 buildings were damaged, including 23 apartment blocks and 15 houses. Hundreds of windows were shattered, roofs torn, and a civilian enterprise severely damaged.

Russia is a terrorist state. The world’s response should be more pressure and stronger sanctions to weaken the aggressor’s war machine, as well as new decisions to strengthen Ukraine’s defense capabilities.

Israel has openly declared that the killing will continue until there are no more Palestinians left in Gaza, either by death or by deportation.
Israel wants to eliminate all Palestinians from #gaza more than it wants the remaining hostages, more than it wants peace.
Once that’s done the West Bank is next-all heil the greater #israel - more beachfront property #lebensraum
If this were being treated as genocide rather than a war all law-abiding states would interfere to force Israel to stop #un
