In light of recent escalations, including Israel’s decision to sever relations with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) and the ongoing pressure campaigns against the International Criminal Court (ICC), the Arab Organisation for Human Rights in the UK (AOHR UK) is organising a critical webinar titled “Justice and Humanity Under Threat: Israeli Campaigns Targeting the ICC and UNRWA.”
The webinar will bring together prominent legal experts, human rights advocates, and international lawyers to examine:
- The threats and interference facing the ICC and UNRWA, particularly in regard to the Palestinian issue;
- The role of Western governments in supporting Israeli actions that undermine international accountability and humanitarian efforts;
- The increasing challenges to humanitarian aid channels like UNRWA;
- Strategies and urgent steps needed to uphold justice and ensure the protection of aid efforts for vulnerable communities.
- The recent complaint before the Dutch judiciary concerning Mossad’s threats against ICC officials.
This timely event aims to highlight the broader implications of these pressures on justice and humanitarian relief. We invite members of the public, human rights advocates, and media professionals to join and contribute to this essential conversation.

- Prof. Michael Lynk – Former UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories
