‘Time for the rest of the world to imagine a world and a path forward that is not centred on the US’

Two vastly different narratives are emerging at the UN: one of diplomatic coalition and political pragmatism, the other of unilateral posturing and paralysis. As the world addresses the plight of the Palestinian people and a path towards a viable future state, François Picard welcomes Agnès Callamard, Secretary General of Amnesty International. As multilateralism buckles under the weight of genocide, and decades of inaction, what does it mean to recognise a state when war still rages? Ms. Callamard is resolute in her vision: what is required now is bold, tangible action, enforcement of the ICJ advisory opinion, and the world to imagine a path forward “not centred on the United States.”
