Rafah on fire: Israel bombs camp of displaced Palestinians
Israel has bombed tents of displaced Palestinians in a so-called 'safe zone' in Rafah, next to an UNRWA centre in the district of Tal As Sultan. The Gaza media office says at least 40 have been confirmed killed with many more injured. Israel fired tank shells and dropped 2,000lb bombs on the encampment in its attack. Staff at the Emirati Hospital in Rafah described the attack as a 'heinous massacre... in a clear and blatant defiance of all the decisions of the International Court of Justice'. Just two days earlier, on 24 March 2024, the ICJ ordered Israel to stop its offensive on Rafah.

2023, the year displaced people broke all records: MEMO in Conversation with Ivana Hajzmanova
Conflict and violence in Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and occupied Palestine drove the number of internally displaced people (IDPs) around the world to 75.9 million at the end of 2023. This is a new record, according to the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). The body’s global monitoring manager explains the driving forces behind internal displacement and discusses both wars and conflicts and the natural disasters forcing people away from their homes.

The Global Tribunal on Palestine is set to begin its work
Since the announcement in early March of the establishment of the Global Tribunal on Palestine (GTP) by five human rights NGOs based in Geneva, efforts have been underway to ensure the success of this event.

The New Experts: Populist Elites and Technocratic Promises in Modi’s India
In 2014, Narendra Modi and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won India’s 16th general election and, among huge swathes of the country’s population as well as the international community, there was great concern about what a Modi India would look like. Aside from concerns over his role during the Gujarat riots in 2002, Modi’s platform was seen as illiberal, right-leaning populist, anti-establishment and anti-expert. Many wondered whether ideology would rule the day or competency and expertise would. The reality that unfolded was much more complex than what many expected at the time and Anuradha Sajjanhar’s The New Experts: Populist Elites and Technocratic Promises in Modi’s India argues that, while the experts and technocrats of the pre-2014 establishment were replaced and, despite […]
