Considering and adressing so called #neutrality:

"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality."

"I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim."

Neutrality in its core is a violation of the #RomeStatute 's preamble:

Elie Wiesels „Morgendämmerung“ – Die Mathematik der Vergeltung

Kann der Ruf nach Gerechtigkeit in eine Spirale der Gewalt umschlagen? Wiesels Novelle stellt Fragen, die uns heute – vor dem Hintergrund von Gaza und der Ukraine – schmerzhaft nahe gerückt sind.

Das Dilemma eines Opfers, das zum Täter werden soll – ein Text über die Last der Freiheit, der auf etwa 100 Seiten mehr Gewicht hat als so mancher monumentale Klassiker:

Never have these words been more relevant!
- Indifference is the symbol of evil. We must take a stand. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.

- Elie Wiesel, author, Holocaust survivor, Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
