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."
- #DesmondTutu

"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."
- #ElieWiesel
https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Elie_Wiesel

"Neutrality in the face of hatred doesn't mean neutrality, it means approval."
- #TovaFriedmann

Neutrality is just another way of saying "This isn't our war.", thereby ignoring, that every war is everyone's war, because every war tangents #IntLaw and the stances we take towards each war define to wich degree we uphold this law. Neutrality in its core is a violation of the #RomeStatute 's preamble:
