Performative International: Failure To Advocate For Uniting For Peace
Johannesburg — On November 17th, 2025, Jon Krampner, a subscriber to my Substack, forwarded my then just published article “Why Is ‘Progressive International’ Not Backing Uniting for Peace?” to Varsha Gandikota-Nellutla who is General Coordinator of “Progressive International” (and also Executive Secretary of “The Hague Group”) — identifying himself as a supporter of PI. The groups have been meeting in Amsterdam.
Gandikota claimed “The Hague Group is a diplomatic bloc and speaks through its co-chairs; the claim that it has been ‘silent’ [about Uniting for Peace] is simply inaccurate.”
