Genocide in Gaza: the legal controversy of the Council of the European Union’s failure to act

The European Union and its member states have a moral and legal obligation to act in the face of serious human rights violations (war crimes, crimes against humanity and possibly genocide) by the State of Israel in the Gaza Strip. The failure to act by the Council of the EU affects the bloc’s legal order and its basic principles, including the primacy of fundamental rights.

Reconocimiento de Palestina: un gesto vacío en tiempos de genocidio

Reconocer a Palestina hoy, sin imponer costes reales a Israel, no es un paso hacia la justicia sino un gesto que enmascara la inacción. Mientras la respuesta internacional no se traduzca en sanciones, presión diplomática y rendición de cuentas, los anuncios políticos seguirán siendo una coartada para Occidente y una condena para los palestinos, atrapados entre las bombas y las promesas vacías.

The politicisation of immigration: A comparative perspective in Europe and its neighbourhood

Issue 140 of Revista CIDOB d’Afers Internacionals analyses the causes and consequences of the politicisation of immigration. The comparison of the cases of Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Turkey, and Tunisia helps us discern how different political, socio-economic, and cultural contexts can lead to different forms of politicisation.

Europe: less security, more dependence

The EU’s strategic choice in the face of Donald Trump’s offensive would seem to be to act more like loyal vassals than allies of Washington. The White House incumbent only respects strength, which means the EU must strive to take a firm line while building strategic autonomy.
