Brussels, January 31st, 2024
While it applauds the decision by the International Court of Justice (ICJ), Pax Christi International remains steadfast in its call for an immediate ceasefire and the safe return of all hostages. The staggering loss of life and unfathomable misery visited upon the innocent Gazan population, nearly half of whom are children, must end now.
Pax Christi International strongly supports all efforts to stop the violence which has killed over 26,000 people and injured more than 65,000 in 115 days of hostilities. The world is witnessing the unthinkable. It is imperative that the international community exert all its power and leverage to end this carnage and take decisive diplomatic action towards a lasting peace built on justice. Anything less will be seen by history as complicity.
