War Crimes Case Re-Opened

July 31, 2026 John McEvoy, Consortium News. , , , , ,
The Metropolitan Police Service has reversed its decision to close a war crimes probe into U.K. nationals who fought for Israel amid the Gaza genocide, it can be revealed. The 240-page referral was first submitted by the Public Interest Law Centre (PILC) and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) in August 2025. It alleged that ten U.K. nationals —including dual citizens — had committed war crimes and crimes against humanity while fighting for the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) in Gaza. Allegations against those soldiers included international crimes such as “wilful killing, extermination, attacking civilians, and deportation or forcible transfer of population.”

Republicans Trying To Give Big Oil Immunity For Causing Climate Chaos

July 22, 2026 Mike Ludwig, Truthout. , , , ,
The science used to attribute extreme weather events to climate change has advanced remarkably in recent years, allowing policy makers, judges, and the public to see clear links between disasters and the fossil fuel emissions driving climate crisis. Now, as the links become clearer, oil and gas lobbyists are scrambling to shield the industry from a wave of lawsuits and state laws seeking to hold profiteers accountable for the damage that burning fossil fuels causes to communities and public health.

The US Government As Gravedigger-In-Chief Of International Law

July 18, 2026 International Association of Democratic Lawyers. , , ,
In the last few days, the US government has escalated its campaign to destroy the rule of international law, and particularly the International Criminal Court. State-sanctioned threats, bullying and xenophobia – from US government officials and publicized in the media – have gone wild and unchecked. On 13 July 2026, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio launched the “Campaign to Dismantle the ICC’s Threat to American Sovereignty”. In an address, Mr. Rubio declared the ICC a “threat to American sovereignty”. He vowed that if foreign bureaucrats and judges try to deprive the US of its “birthright of independence”, “we will teach them the full meaning of American resolve.”

Chris Hedges Report: What Happens ‘When the World Sleeps’?

July 9, 2026 The Chris Hedges Report. , , , ,
Francesca Albanese, the special rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories comprising the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem, is one of the singular most courageous voices against the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the savage repression meted out to Palestinians in the West Bank. Her detailed UN reports have been fearless examinations of the machinery of apartheid and genocide and Israel’s disregard for international humanitarian law. She has been viciously attacked. The Trump administration ordered the U.S. Department of Treasury to classify her as a “specially designated national”, cutting her off from the global financial system and blocking any U.S. citizen and corporation from engaging with her.

Colorado Cut $11.4 Million In Penalties For Oil Firms Submitting Fake Cleanup Data

July 9, 2026 Sarah Hofmann, DeSmog. , , , ,
After a nearly two-year inquiry, Colorado’s Energy and Carbon Management Commission (ECMC) approved deals allowing firms owned by its largest oil and gas companies to avoid the majority of assessed penalties for falsified data submitted by their contractors. Collectively, the oil firms stand to pay roughly $2 million, less than 15 percent of the original millions in proposed penalties. ECMC’s lone dissenting commissioner called the fraudulent data a “deep violation of the public trust.” Christiaan van Woudenberg, an Erie, Colorado, resident turned anti-fracking activist who works with community groups like Erie Protectors, likewise criticized the agreements.

No More Dollars For Walmart After Kohen Wiley’s Death

July 5, 2026 Melina Abdullah, LA Progressive. , , , ,
I spoke with Davion Williams the day before the 21-year-old Black father had to bury his 1-year-old baby, murdered by police in Senatobia, Mississippi. “Justice for Kohen Wiley!” he chanted, fist raised, and also dazed, trying to find his footing in the midst of the unimaginable theft of his beautiful baby boy’s life. As I offered love and support, grateful that my comrade, friend, and brother-in-struggle, Marquell Bridges, was there to hold the family and organize alongside them, I offered, “We cannot get justice for Kohen; justice would mean that he is still here."

June 30, 2026 Shireen Akram-Boshar, Truthout. , , , ,
The Hind Rajab Foundation has called on the U.S. to investigate Israel’s far right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir for war crimes ahead of his visit to New York City in early July. On Saturday, the Belgium-based foundation filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice, stating that the U.S. has the jurisdiction and the legal obligation to investigate, arrest, and prosecute Ben-Gvir during his visit to New York City. Ben-Gvir is set to attend the United Nations Chiefs of Police Summit on July 7 and 8 in the city. Ben-Gvir must be prosecuted for his involvement in war crimes, the foundation stated, including crimes against U.S. nationals.

June 26, 2026 Abdul Rahman, Breakthrough News. , , ,
Iran is demanding that all members of the NATO alliance who participated in the US-Israeli war against the country earlier this year, be held accountable for war crimes and other violations of international laws. The demand followed the recent admission by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte about the role of European countries during the US-Israeli war in Iran, which began on February 28 and ended with a ceasefire on April 8. Speaking to Fox News on Wednesday, Rutte admitted that thousands of aircraft took off from US bases in various European countries during the US-Israeli aggression in Iran.

Hind Rajab Foundation Calls On United States To Arrest Israeli Soldier

June 17, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
On 16 June, the Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF) formally requested that the US Department of Justice arrest and prosecute US-Israeli dual national Jake Burkons, who is currently attending the 2026 FIFA World Cup, over war crimes committed in Gaza. The foundation states that Burkons is involved in war crimes and acts of genocide committed in the Gaza Strip. This action follows a criminal complaint filed by the group last month in Sri Lanka, where Burkons had been vacationing. The report details that Burkons served in Company D of the 603rd Combat Engineering Battalion, a unit within the 7th Armored Brigade of the Israeli army, and had enlisted voluntarily following the launch of Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza on 7 October 2023. 

International Tribunal Accuses Canada Of ‘Genocide’ Against Indigenous Peoples

June 14, 2026 John Ahni Schertow, Intercontinental Cry. , , , ,
An international human rights tribunal has concluded that Canada committed genocide and crimes against humanity against Indigenous Peoples through its residential school system and related colonial policies. The preliminary findings were released Friday by the 57th session of the Permanent Peoples’ Tribunal (PPT), an independent international opinion tribunal that spent a week hearing testimony from residential school survivors, legal experts, researchers and Indigenous advocates in Montreal. The tribunal, which focused primarily on missing Indigenous children and unmarked graves linked to Canada’s residential school system, moved beyond the language of “cultural genocide” that dominated earlier public debate in Canada, finding that evidence presented during the hearings demonstrated a pattern of conduct that constituted “genocide” under international law.

China Assigned A Government Official To Every Poor Family

June 5, 2026 Neil Zhu, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
When people talk about China’s poverty reduction campaign, the conversation usually jumps straight to the big numbers. Hundreds of millions lifted out of extreme poverty. Massive infrastructure investment. Rural development at scale. Those numbers are real. But they miss the part of the system that is actually interesting. The interesting part is not the money. It is the accountability structure underneath it. Under China’s targeted poverty alleviation program, local governments did not simply identify poor households and send them aid. They built a registry.

ICC Issues Arrest Warrants For Five Additional Senior Israeli Officials

May 17, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued secret arrest warrants for three Israeli politicians and two military officials, Haaretz reported on 17 May, citing diplomatic sources. The timing of their issuance is unknown. The ICC has often issued arrest warrants in secret, publicly announcing them only later to enable a possible arrest of the suspect. Israel’s Foreign Affairs Ministry and State Attorney’s Office do not respond immediately to requests for comment. The Hague-based court issued arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former War Minister Yoav Gallant in November 2024.

OPCW Confirms It Buried Critical Evidence In Chemical Weapons Probe

May 8, 2026 Aaron Maté, The Grayzone. , , ,
For the first time in a prolonged cover-up scandal, the world’s top chemical watchdog has acknowledged censoring a finding that undermined allegations of a toxic gas attack by the former Syrian government. According to previously leaked documents, expert German military toxicologists consulted by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) ruled out chlorine gas as the cause of death of dozens of victims in an alleged chemical attack in the Syrian town of Douma in April 2018. The experts even raised the possibility that the incident was a false flag.

Iranian Group Submits Evidence Of US-Israeli War Crimes To ICC

April 27, 2026 Jake Johnson, Scheer Post. , , , ,
The head of the Iranian Red Crescent Society said Saturday that his organization has submitted evidence of US-Israeli war crimes to the International Criminal Court and other global bodies, seeking accountability for massive attacks on civilian infrastructure and other violations. “The ICC prosecutor announced that the documents provided by the IRCS are accepted as official evidence,” said Pir-Hossein Koulivand, the head of the Iranian Red Crescent Society. “All cases of attacks on civilians are being legally pursued based on the Geneva Conventions.”
