On Saturday, June 27, the Detroit People’s Tribunal was convened at the Historic St. Matthew’s & St. Joseph’s Episcopal Church in the North End of Detroit. This event had been in the making for more than five months prompted by a series of developments including the deployment of National Guard and Marine units in other cities such as Los Angeles, Memphis and Washington, D.C. during late 2025 and earlier this year. Several organizations sponsored and endorsed the event with Detroit Will Breathe, People’s Assembly, Democratic Socialist of America Detroit Chapter among others taking the lead in mobilizing the people.

International Tribunal Accuses Canada Of ‘Genocide’ Against Indigenous Peoples

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.

An international people’s tribunal examining Canada’s role in the deaths and disappearances of Indigenous children in residential schools will convene in Montreal later this month, bringing together survivors, legal experts and advocates in what they describe as a push for accountability beyond Canada’s existing reconciliation process. The hearings, organized under the auspices of the Permanent Peoples’ Tribunal, are scheduled for May 25-29 at the Daphne Art Centre in Montreal. The tribunal will hear testimony related to missing Indigenous children, unmarked graves and the long-term impacts of the residential school system on Indigenous communities across Canada.

“I see this as my last chance to speak,” said Sim Jin-tae, 83. “So I’m going to give it everything I have to get the message out to the international community about how Koreans were affected by the atomic bombs.” Sim, who serves as president of the Hapcheon chapter of the Korea Atomic Bombs Victims Association, is scheduled to fly to the US on Monday to testify about the Korean toll of the US’ atomic bombings at the once-in-five-year review conference for parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

“We demand an official apology and compensation from the United States.” More than 80 years after Hiroshima and Nagasaki, much of the world has yet to hear about the more than 70,000 Korean victims of the 1945 U.S. atomic bombings. The Korean survivors of the nuclear holocaust have not disappeared from history, nor have they remained silent. From April 21 to May 3, 2026, survivors from South Korea will embark on a nationwide speaking tour across major U.S. cities, culminating in the 11th Review Conference of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.

Key Words: Peoples’ Tribunals

April 2, 2026 Yasmin Gunaratnam, Red Pepper. Organize! Accountability, Grassroots, History, People's Tribunal

Peoples’ tribunals are grassroots initiatives. They use the conventions and format of the courtroom to publicly stage evidence hearings on rights abuses that formal institutions have failed to recognise or fully address, or where impunity persists. The tradition stretches back to at least 1966, when philosopher and anti-war activist Bertrand Russell established an International War Crimes Tribunal. Together, lawyers, activists and thinkers investigated US war crimes and foreign policy in Vietnam. For Russell, its goal was to compile a comprehensive record of US conduct in the region that would ‘arouse passionate resistance’.

Hundreds of people belonging to Indigenous communities in Dera Ghazi Khan, in Pakistan’s Punjab province, gathered on the banks of Taunsa Barrage on the Indus River to condemn the demolition of their homes by the local authorities and assert their rights of inhabitation. The gathering was called a Lok Sath (People’s Tribunal), organized by the Sindhu Bachao Tarla (Save Indus Demand) and other organizations. Scores of affected people from Basti Sheikhan gave testimonies of their suffering at the hands of the Punjab Encroachment Regulatory Authority (PERA), the police, and the local government, and sought proper accountability from those responsible for their plight.

Inside The People’s Tribunal On Police Killings

January 26, 2026 James Whitfield, Red Pepper. Strategize! People's Tribunal, Police abuse, Reform, United Kingdom (UK)

The friends and families of those who ‘died in custody’ in the UK, frustrated with the inability of reform to deliver justice, have established the People’s Tribunal on Police Killings. Bringing together over twenty families for a class action lawsuit against the police, it will be the first time families have initiated a group prosecution. The tribunal renames these deaths ‘killings’, due to the systematic nature of the cases. They told me: ‘we need no more legislation, no more excuses, no more police training. The criminal law needs to be applied to police officers… we are abolitionist in our approach but in the meantime cops that kill should go to jail’.

International Tribunal Finds Israel Guilty

November 27, 2025 Marianne Dhenin, Mondoweiss. Educate! Ecocide, Genocide, Israel, Palestine, People's Tribunal

The International People’s Tribunal on Palestine convened on November 22 and 23 in Barcelona. The event brought together organizers, human rights advocates, and legal experts and offered a platform for survivors of the ongoing assault on Gaza to present evidence of Israel’s international crimes. After two days of testimony, jurors returned their verdict: Israel, the United States, and other Western powers are guilty of the crimes of genocide, ecocide, and the forced starvation of the Palestinian people. “The mass killings, deliberate starvation, systematic destruction of civilian infrastructure, environmental devastation, and the targeting of hospitals, shelters, schools, and places of refuge were carried out as a matter of state policy, and with full knowledge of their fatal consequences,” said head juror Ceren Uysal, reading from the verdict as the tribunal closed.

The Right To Resist Is The Right Of The People!

Just days after the Zionist entity of “Israel” signed the ceasefire agreement with the Palestinian resistance in Gaza, numerous violations were already reported, including the firing on civilians, the blocking of the full amount of daily aid convoys promised, and failure to withdraw soldiers from all areas stipulated in the ceasefire. After two years of outright genocide and over 75 years of an openly racist settler colonial regime enacting apartheid law, there is little to be surprised about regarding “Israel’s” behavior. The question is not why "Israel" has repeatedly violated its own agreements and international law, as that is to be expected from a rogue entity committing genocide.

Gaza Tribunal: A Historic Verdict In The Shadow Of Testimony

Inside the quiet stone walls of Istanbul University, a heavy silence settled. The members of the Gaza Tribunal gathered behind closed doors for one final deliberation. Led by Professor Richard Falk, former United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in the Palestinian Territories, the session wasn’t just a meeting — it was history unfolding in real time. After months of hearings across cities like London and Sarajevo, the Tribunal has now delivered its final judgment — a declaration that cuts through diplomatic noise and lands squarely in the conscience of the world. “Starvation as a Weapon” According to the Gaza Tribunal’s Final Report, Israel’s systematic deprivation of food, medicine, and humanitarian access constitutes the weaponization of starvation — a tool of mass punishment used against an entire civilian population.

Why The Gaza Tribunal Is Still Needed After Trump’s Ceasefire

The Gaza Tribunal, a people's tribunal, was formed a year ago in response to the failure of the established world order of sovereign states and international institutions to stop what experts and ordinary people increasingly recognised as genocide in Gaza. The Gaza Tribunal will hold its final session from 23-26 October 2025 at Istanbul University. Our initiative was inspired by an earlier civil society effort during the Vietnam War, when leading public intellectuals Bertrand Russell and Jean-Paul Sartre established the Russell Tribunal, which held hearings in 1966 and 1967.

UN Military Force Needed To Halt Israel’s Assault On Gaza, Tribunal Says

A group of leading academics, legal experts and human rights advocates have called for the creation of a UN-mandated international military force to stop Israel's 22-month-long war on the besieged Gaza Strip. In a statement on Monday, Richard Falk, the president of the Gaza Tribunal Project and a former UN special rapporteur, called on the international community to implement the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) principle. "Law has failed, because it has not been enforced," Falk said at a press conference in Istanbul as he urged the international community to use R2P as a framework for intervention. He noted that the lack of enforcement had left Palestinians unprotected despite clear evidence of mass atrocities.

We, the members of the Gaza Tribunal, having gathered in Sarajevo from 26 to 29 May 2025, declare our collective moral outrage at the continuing genocide in Palestine, our solidarity with the people of Palestine, and our commitment to working with partners across global civil society to end the genocide and to ensure accountability for perpetrators and enablers, redress for victims and survivors, the building of a more just international order, and a free Palestine. We condemn the Israeli regime, its perpetration of genocide, and its decades-long policies and practices of settler colonialism, ethno-supremacism, apartheid, racial segregation, persecution, unlawful settlements...

Over the past three years, a collective of volunteer researchers, lawyers, and commentators created The Merchants of Death War Crimes Tribunal, dedicated to holding accountable four weapon manufacturing corporations based in the U.S. Their tribunal amassed copious evidence to prove that Boeing, Lockheed Martin, RTX (formerly Raytheon) and General Atomics (a company which manufactures weaponized drones) are guilty of committing war crimes. On January 15, 2025, as the world marks the birth of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, a press conference will announce the Tribunal’s verdicts and release the report of ten international jurors who have weighed the evidence submitted to them.
