U.S. shields Israel at the U.N. — when is enough, enough?

Posted on by Patrick Sudlow

The United Nations is a useless organisation, controlled by the USA. Some of its earliest actions, were to allow the occupation and genocide (Nakba) in Palestine, by Zionists. Then under the UN Flag, the invasion of Korea, to support a corrupt regime!

لماذا غزة؟ Why Gaza?

Thank you to Michael Lynk for highlighting the U.S. role in shielding Israel from censure or criticism at the United Nations in his recent piece in DAWN.

Americans should pay attention. Lynk is the former United Nations Special Rapporteur for human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory, from 2016 to 2022. He taught in the Faculty of Law at Western University in Ontario from 1999 to 2022. He is, most recently, the co-author of “Protecting Human Rights in Occupied Palestine: Working Through the United Nations,” with Richard Falk and John Dugard.

The U.S. hypocrisy is laid bare with just a few facts in Lynk’s article.

Since 1973, the United States has cast 81 vetoes at the U.N. Security Council, far more than any other permanent member; Russia and the former Soviet Union is in second place with 38 vetoes during that time period. More than half of these…

No Patents on Seeds

Posted on by Patrick Sudlow

Hi,A handful of corporations own our food. They decide what farmers can grow and how much we have to pay for it.

Giant companies like @Bayer-Monsanto and @Carlsberg can do this because they patent our seeds: from melons and tomatoes to barley used to make beer.

We campaigned for five years to get the office which decides on patents (European Patent Office – EPO), to ban patents on plants and animals. And we won! But companies are cancelling our win by taking advantage of where the rules are not 100 percent clear.

All it would take to block these companies is for ministers to make patent rules watertight. The very rules they put in place thanks to public pressure from people like us.

And we know we can do this because this time around, our community is even stronger. We also have 50 organisations including local breweries from across Europe joining the fight.

Together let’s call our ministers to schedule an official conference and take bold decisions that will stop companies from manipulating the rules.

I’ve added my name, please add yours here: https://act.wemove.eu/campaigns/nopatents-conference-uk
