Mr. Frank Barat is one of the  promoters of the Russel Tribunal. The starting session of this  citizens court took place from 1st to the 3th  March, in Barcelona and was focused on EU responsabilities and complicity in Israeli violations of International HUmanitaria Law. Mr. Barat resumed the outcomes of this meeting. “We first established the illegality of Israel’s actions. Then we focused on the EU. The EU and its member states are  under an obligation to react in application of international law to prevent violations of peremptory norms of international law and to counteract their consequences” told us Mr. Barat.
The Russell Tribunal on Palestine seeks to reaffirm the primacy of international law as the basis for the settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It will build its work around the enunciation of law by authoritative bodies. More info could be reached on Russel Tribunal on Palestine website

In recent episodes of our show we highlighted how Italian foreign policy had become Pro-Israel, but it’s important to remember that Italian policies hadn’t be always like this. Once upon a time the Italian civil society had always been near to Palestinian fight for freedom and auto-determination. During ’70s and ’80s Italy was the most pro-Palestinian country in western world. In that time Italian President was Sandro Pertini. In this days, on 22th February, in Italy we are celebrating 20 years since his death, so this is why we want to let you listen a part of  his new yer speech of 1983. “Once ago it was Jews that had known the diaspora, they were driven out middle east and scattered around the world. Now it’s the turn of Palestinians.  And so I went to say again that Palestinians have the right to a homeland as Jews, Israelites had have” said Partini during the new year speech.
