The author had described Gaza and Palestine, in the context of what he called genocide and apartheid, as a "ferocious gift" that would reveal the nature of people and aspects that, in his opinion, a smoother diplomacy would have kept hidden. He then cited Navi Pillay, an 85-year-old South African jurist, referring to her as the Nobel Peace Prize winner for 2026 and stating that the day before, it had taken just a jurist like her. #Gaza #Palestina #DirittiUmani #ZA #PS (translated)

Gustavo Petro stated that sanctioning magistrates and judges constituted an ignominy against humanity and asserted that Latin America should not allow it. He said that the OFAC list should disappear and be replaced by an effective global instrument against drug traffickers. He also called for the replacement of political lists that, according to him, promoted apartheid and segregation with guarantees for free thought and expression, and proposed to rebuild a broader and deeper international law on that basis. He added that international justice should investigate and judge international drug trafficking and pursue drug traffickers and their assets anywhere in the world. #Justicia #DerechosHumanos #Narcotráfico (translated)
From the violence of apartheid in South Africa to the horrors of the genocide in Rwanda, she has confronted some of the darkest chapters of humanity.

"I grew up with a strong sense of injustice all around me," she said in December 2003 in an interview with the Volkskrant in Tanzania, her then-base as president of the Rwandan tribunal. "As a child of 4, I was told that I could not go to the beach to swim. I felt my parents' fear, saw how they were treated by the whites. I noticed that at school we received old books and desks, the cast-offs from the white schools." #NaviPillay #Mensenrechten #Apartheid (translated)
The choice of Pillay as a Nobel Prize winner is a 'tribute to courage, integrity, and lifelong commitment to justice,' said Cyril Ramaphosa, president of the country where Pillay grew up and took her first steps on the path of law, South Africa. #NaviPillay #Mensenrechten #Apartheid (translated)

Gustavo Petro stated that removing ships from the OFAC list and adding magistrates, judges, human rights leaders, and presidents like him—whom he described as defenders of the rights of the Palestinian people to have a sovereign state and to demand a trial for genocide against Netanyahu—turned the list into an instrument of apartheid, rather than a tool against drug trafficking. He called it a "Nazi instrument" directed against those who, as he wrote, sought social justice and peace. #DerechosHumanos #JusticiaSocial #Paz (translated)

Gustavo Petro announced that he would launch a global campaign against what he described as the United States government's policy of using the OFAC list to punish those who had called for Benjamin Netanyahu to be tried for genocide.

He also argued that the OFAC law had become an instrument of impunity for genociders and that it should not be obeyed anywhere in the world. He added that more than a dozen magistrates, judges, human rights defenders, and political leaders committed to international law and human justice had been condemned to what he described as a global apartheid for seeking justice. #DerechosHumanos #JusticiaGlobal #Genocidio (translated)
