It is disgraceful that European states, which claim to value human rights, have failed to intervene in any way whatsoever to stop the war crimes, massacres and mass starvation being perpetrated by the ruling classes of the United States and Israel. Disgraceful and unforgivable.

We need partnerships respecting sustainability and social rights!
