It was bitter cup to swallow: the one served to Indigenous Peoples and social movements by governments on the last day of the #ICARRD+20. The final declaration was quite weak with regard to terminology and actions, and the IPC decided to reject it. www.foodsovereignty.org/our-diary-fr...

This autonomous space serves as a critical staging ground for our global social movements to unify our voice before the second International Conference on Agrarian Reform and Rural Development (ICARRD+20) begins on February 24. The event has opened with a powerful mistica that demonstrates the power of organized people, united by solidarity, shared struggles, their connections to the territories and their central role in sustaining life and in building food sovereignty. Popular Agrarian Reform, NOW!

⭕ UN expert: Security Council’s Gaza resolution violates Palestinian self-determination UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese warned that Resolution 2803 “runs counter to the Palestinian right to self-determination” and risks legitimizing “ongoing mass violence.” She said the Council failed to ground its response in the body of law it is obligated to uphold, noting: “I am deeply perplexed… the Council has chosen not to act in accordance with the Purposes and Principles of the United Nations.” ▪️ Albanese said the resolution entrenches “external control over Gaza’s governance, borders, security, and reconstruction,” replacing legal obligations with a “security-first, capital-driven model of foreign control.” ▪️ She condemned the plan for disarming Palestinian groups while ignoring “Israel’s ongoing unlawful siege, occupation, racial segregation and apartheid, and ethnic cleansing.” ▪️ She called the proposed force under a U.S.-chaired “Board of Peace” unlawful: “It is a brazen attempt to impose… US and Israeli interests, plain and simple.” She warned it would leave Palestinians under “a puppet administration,” adding: “Replacing an abusive trustee with another is not self-determination.”
▪️ Albanese said any international presence in Gaza must supervise Israel’s “immediate and unconditional withdrawal,” protect civilians, stop displacement, and support Palestinians in determining their own political future. She concluded: “This is an existential moment… Only an approach rooted in justice, legality, and self-determination can lead to genuine peace.”

Women’s Assembly at the 3rd Nyeleni forum: women converged on a proposal based on feminist economy, which puts care, equality, and buen vivir of the communities at the center while challenging patriarchal capitalism. There is no systemic change without feminism. capiremov.org/en/experienc...
