Apropå EU så tror jag att talet som Kaja Kallas nyligen höll inför FNs säkerhetsråd illustrerar kommissionens ovilja att ställa Israel till svars (och ordföranden är ännu värre än vad hon är). Hon nämner upprepat Rysslands aggression i Ukraina, men hon kan inte förmå sig att säga att Israel och USA attackerade Iran utan talar bara om "kriget i mellanöstern". Amnestys generalsekreterare sammanfattar det ganska bra i det här inlägget:
"So today, at the Security Council, High Representative Kaja Kallas has lamented the gravest violation and breakdown of international law since the Second World War, evident, I quote "in today’s two pre-eminent global crises — Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine and the war in the Middle East."
Quick quantitative analysis of her speech:
Mention of Russia: 11
Mention of Israel: 0
Mention of the USA: 0
Mention of Iran: 1
Her unwillingness, her deliberate failure, to mention the two actors (in addition to Russia) responsible for the greatest violations of international law, is not just coward. It is criminal. It explains the repeated violations of international law, the breakdown of the UN Charter, the global regime of impunity.
The failure is counted in acts of aggressions, in a genocide, in deliberate or disproportionate or indiscriminate attacks against civilians, in thousands of civilians deaths, including children, in unlawful occupation and de facto annexation.
The double standards inherent in Ms. Kallas speech are destroying international law.
