Media Release from Burmese Rohingya Organisation UK (BROUK):

 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: APRIL 3, 2026 Genocide General Min Aung Hlaing’s Presidency Demands New International Approach to Rohingya Crisis The Burmese Rohingya Organisation UK (BROUK) today warned that General Min Aung Hlaing’s move towards the presidency, alongside ongoing human rights violations by the Arakan Army against the Rohingya, leaves any meaningful solution to the Rohingya crisis out of reach. The international community must drastically shift its approach, including by significantly speeding up international justice processes. The Burmese military and Min Aung Hlaing face multiple international legal actions for genocide and crimes against humanity, including the Rohingya genocide case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), with a ruling expected by the end of the year. The International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor has sought arrest warrants against senior military officials, and courts in Argentina have issued arrest warrants under universal jurisdiction, incl...

Fighting the Unhinged US Bully: Is It the Duty of Iran Only?

Dr. Firoz Mahboob Kamal   The US: the unhinged bully The US President Donald Trump has emerged as an unhinged bully with an extreme war mongering arrogance. Like a huge mighty beast in a jungle, he enjoys unfettered liberty on predating on the weak.   He wants others to surrender to his whims and accept nothing less than that. President Trump and his team do not believe in negotiation. It happened twice that while negotiation between the Iranian and the US team was ongoing, he started relentless bombing on Iran. He took Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu as the partner in the bloodthirsty campaign. They killed the Supreme Leader and more than 30 senior leaders on the first day of the attack. It was an earthquake in Iran, and was celebrated as a huge success in the US camp. These heartless and soulless leaders have turned large scale genocide and destruction in Iran into huge sports to rejoice the pains of innocent Iranian men, women and children. Millions of people in Iran ...

Letter to the People of the USA by Masoud Pezeshkian, President of Iran

  In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful To the people of the United States of America, and to all those who, amid a flood of distortions and manufactured narratives, continue to seek the truth and aspire to a better life: Iran—by this very name, character, and identity—is one of the oldest continuous civilizations in human history. Despite its historical and geographical advantages at various times, Iran has never, in its modern history, chosen the path of aggression, expansion, colonialism, or domination. Even after enduring occupation, invasion, and sustained pressure from global powers—and despite possessing military superiority over many of its neighbors—Iran has never initiated a war. Yet it has resolutely and bravely repelled those who have attacked it. The Iranian people harbor no enmity toward other nations, including the people of America, Europe, or neighboring countries. Even in the face of repeated foreign interventions and pressures throughout their proud...

The US War on Iran is Illegal. Here’s Why That Matters by Phyllis Bennis

  The U.S. and Israeli war has, from its very beginning, violated both U.S. domestic and international law. The legal consequences go beyond specific violations. Washington and Tel Aviv’s breaches of the UN Charter and other legal frameworks also undermine the very  foundations  of the rule of law. Even while international legal institutions too often lack sufficient capacity to enforce their decisions, they still provide a crucial framework for protest, for pressure on individual governments, and for the hope of a future world where the rule of law is paramount. Now, however, that future is in more danger than any other time in recent memory. Right now, Iranian civilians are paying the highest price. But the collapse of the rule of law makes the future more dangerous for everyone else, too. What Are the Laws of War? On the domestic front, the U.S. Constitution is very clear that only Congress, not the president, has the power to declare war. But President Trump did not e...

From Gaza to Minab, the Same Story: Children Paying the Price of War by Ramzy Baroud

  Those who had the misfortune of growing up in a war zone require no explanation. War is hell, it is true—but for children, it is something else entirely: a confusing, disorienting fate that defies comprehension. There are children who live only briefly, experiencing whatever life manages to offer them: the love of parents, the camaraderie of siblings, the fragile joys and inevitable hardships of existence. There are over 20,000 children in this category who have been  killed  in Gaza over the span of roughly two years, according to figures released by the Gaza Health Ministry and repeatedly cited by United Nations agencies. Some were born and killed within the same short timeframe. Others remain  buried  beneath the rubble of the destroyed Strip. According to humanitarian and forensic experts cited by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), thousands of bodies are still  missing  under collapsed buildings, with ...
