International Network for Solidarity Among Peoples
Statement Issued by the Executive Committee Following Its Ordinary Meeting
The Executive Committee of the International Network for Solidarity Among Peoples held its ordinary meeting on 28 July 2026, during which it reviewed the major political and human rights developments that marked the month of July 2026. The Committee expressed its profound concern over the continued and alarming deterioration of the rights of peoples in an international context characterized by the growing dominance of imperialism and Zionism, the escalation of militarism and aggressive policies, the widening culture of impunity, and the persistent erosion of international law and the mechanisms of international justice.
In this context, the Executive Committee considers the recent developments affecting the International Criminal Court (ICC)—particularly the dismissal of Prosecutor Karim Khan following his decision to initiate proceedings against Israeli officials for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity—to constitute a dangerous precedent that undermines the independence of international justice. It sends the message that dominant powers remain capable of influencing international judicial institutions whenever accountability for leaders of the Zionist occupation is at stake, thereby weakening confidence in the international legal order and reinforcing double standards.
The Executive Committee also reviewed the continuing genocide, starvation campaign, and blockade imposed on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, as well as the escalating attacks carried out by the Israeli occupation forces and settlers in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem, while the international community continues to fail to provide effective protection for the Palestinian people or to ensure respect for the rules of international humanitarian law.
The Committee further examined the ongoing humanitarian catastrophes in Sudan, Syria, Yemen, Lebanon, Ukraine, Libya, Myanmar, and the African Sahel region, where peoples continue to pay the price of wars, occupations, foreign interventions, and armed conflicts, resulting in growing numbers of victims, displaced persons, and refugees, alongside an unprecedented deterioration of humanitarian, economic, and social conditions.
Accordingly, the Executive Committee of the International Network for Solidarity Among Peoples:
Strongly condemns all crimes committed against civilians, regardless of the perpetrators, and considers the deliberate targeting of civilians, starvation, siege, forced displacement, and the destruction of civilian infrastructure to be crimes that require accountability and punishment.
Calls upon the international community and the United Nations to take urgent action to ensure effective international protection for civilians, particularly in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Sudan, and all areas affected by armed conflict.
Reiterates its demand for the immediate cessation of the aggression against the Gaza Strip, the complete and unconditional lifting of the blockade, and the guarantee of the free, safe, and sustained delivery of humanitarian assistance.
Calls for an end to the policy of impunity, the safeguarding of the independence of international justice, the protection of the International Criminal Court from all forms of political pressure and intimidation, and the enabling of the Court to fulfill its mandate in prosecuting perpetrators of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Reaffirms its full support for the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, the end of occupation and settler colonialism, and the establishment of an independent Palestinian State with Jerusalem as its capital.
Calls for the immediate cessation of wars and armed conflicts, and for the adoption of just political solutions that respect the right of peoples to self-determination, preserve the sovereignty and territorial integrity of States, and reject all forms of occupation, domination, and foreign interference.
Reaffirms its solidarity with the peoples of Sudan, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Myanmar, Ukraine, Iran, and the countries of the African Sahel, as well as with all peoples struggling for freedom, dignity, and justice.
Calls upon social movements, trade unions, human rights organizations, and democratic and progressive forces across the world to strengthen coordination and joint action in confronting wars, occupation, racism, and neo-colonialism, and to defend the right of peoples to peace, freedom, and social justice.
The International Network for Solidarity Among Peoples affirms that genuine peace cannot be achieved under conditions of occupation, colonialism, domination, and impunity. Respect for international law, accountability for perpetrators of international crimes, and the guarantee of peoples' right to self-determination constitute the essential foundation for building a more just and humane world.
Long live the struggles of the peoples for freedom, dignity, and justice.
