>> Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh, the counsel for the Palestinian state, described Israel’s actions as “antithetical to a peace-loving state”. She said the restrictions on “the fundamental rights of the Palestinian people, [Israel’s] attacks on the United Nations and on UN officials, property and premises, its deliberate obstruction of the organisation’s work and its attempt to destroy an entire UN subsidiary organ” were “unprecedented in the history of the organisation”.<< (The Guardian, here, 28 Apr, 2025)

Irish lawyer receives huge praise for powerful speech in the Hague

Irish lawyer Blinne Ná Ghrálaigh,was on the team advising South Africa in its case accusing Israel of breaching the UN Genocide Convention.

JOE
I listened to Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh's speech at The Hague on my way to work yesterday. It's one of the most powerful speeches I've ever heard. The restraint, logic, and dignity of her delivery contrasts starkly with the horrors she describes. Warning- it may make you feel changed. Angrier, sadder, but also stronger, more courageous and more committed.
