This weekend’s escalation in the Middle East is a reckless breach of international law with consequences far beyond the region.

The US and Israel’s attacks on Iran undermine the rules‑based order, and the silence of many Western leaders at this moment is deeply alarming.

80% of UN Security Council resolutions involve conflict in Africa Exclusive: The disproportionate number of armed conflicts taking place Africa – many of which are climate-driven – has led campaigners to call for the continent to have better representation

Oxfam’s new research has found that 80 per cent of UN Security Council resolutions over the last decade have been on conflicts in Africa. Yet no African country has a permanent seat on the Council.

Quote from Beth John, Climate Justice Advisor at Oxfam; "Abandoning those most exposed to a crisis they did not cause, whilst doing very little to ensure the biggest and richest polluters pay their fair share for the climate damage they are responsible for is deeply unfair. Deciding not to fairly tax these wealthy polluters – which could raise billions of public finance a year without costing the UK taxpayer – is not just a conscious choice by the government, but a statement about whose futures matter."

People, goods and humanitarian assistance must be able to move safely and unhindered, in line with international law. A crossing that functions at the discretion of external parties and allows only a nominal number of people to cross daily doesn't amount to freedom of movement, a fundamental right.
