Smoke rose across Gaza as Israel continued its offensive against Hamas on Friday. That's despite a ruling from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) that Israel's military offensive in Rafah must stop immediately. The top United Nations (UN) court also ruled the Rafah border crossing must be reopened for aid deliveries but judges stopped short of ordering a full ceasefire throughout the Palestinian enclave. Israel seized the key crossing with Egypt in early May when it launched what US officials called a "limited" operation aimed at choking off Hamas supply lines. The new provisional measur...

The United Nations General Assembly has approved a resolution to commemorate the 1995 Srebrenica genocide in Bosnia annually, over strong opposition from Serbs in Bosnia and neighbouring Serbia. Proponents of the measure sponsored by Germany and Rwanda say it is necessary so that the massacre is not denied or forgotten. The vote in the 193-member General Assembly was 84-19 with 68 nations abstaining, a reflection of concerns among many countries about the impact of the vote on reconciliation efforts in deeply divided Bosnia. The resolution designates July 11 as the “International Day of Reflec...

For the Palestinian people, each diplomatic victory came at the cost of heightened tensions, significant pushback and outright conflict on the ground. As Dublin, Madrid and Oslo all announced their decision on Wednesday — with Slovenia, Malta and Belgium expec...

Russia has launched a counterspace weapon into orbit capable of attacking a nearby U.S. government satellite, Washington officials said earlier this week.

Wood described the move as "troubling." Pentagon spokesperson Brigadier General Pat Ryder separately said on May 21 that the U.S. was monitori...

An international ocean court has just delivered a “historic” legal opinion outlining countries’ obligations in the face of climate change. The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) - a UN court on maritime law - found that anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions can be considered a marine pollutant. It said countries have a legal obligation to implement measures mitigating their effect on oceans. ITLOS’s expert opinion was requested last September by a group of nine small island states in the Pacific and Caribbean threatened by rising sea levels: the Commission of Small Island S...
