Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): According to the German publication D-Site, Amnesty International strongly criticized the actions of the Zionist regime in the Gaza Strip in its annual report. This organization also accuses Germany of applying double standards in the Middle East conflict.
The human rights organization Amnesty International has asked the German federal government to stop the delivery of weapons to Israel.
Julia Ducrou, Secretary General of the German branch of Amnesty International, said at the presentation of the annual report of this non-governmental organization: If there is a risk of war crimes or human rights violations, arms should not be sent to Israel and other countries involved. Referring to Ukraine, he added that arms exports to protect civilians from attacks would not be affected.
In this way, this organization renewed its criticism of the actions of the Zionist regime in the Gaza Strip. "Military operations of the Israeli armed forces in the Gaza Strip have lost their limits and dimensions," Ducrou said. This includes war crimes and violations of international humanitarian law."
He emphasized: However, the German federal government refuses to name the war crimes of the Israeli army. The German federal government should work for a ceasefire and the release of hostages in the Gaza conflict. "In return, Germany is increasingly supplying weapons to this regime," Ducrou said. Amnesty International has accused the German government of "using double standards" in relation to the Middle East conflict, stressing that this also undermines international human rights standards.
This organization also criticized the German government's interference in the freedom of assembly related to the Middle East conflict and announced that many solidarity events in support of the Palestinians were banned as a preventive measure. There were media reports of unnecessary and excessive use of force by police, hundreds of arrests and an increase in racism against people perceived to be Arab or Muslim, the annual report said.
Julia Ducrou, Secretary General of Amnesty International in Germany, presented the organization's annual report, saying that the German government is contributing to the "erosion of the international order" by remaining silent on the Israeli army's war crimes.
"You're losing credibility," Ducrow said to the federal government. "Double standards are not compatible with the human rights-based foreign policy announced by German Foreign Minister Analena Berbock.
The report also accuses Germany of not doing enough to protect migrants from violence. Based on this, the number of right-wing extremist crimes and hate crimes has also increased significantly. But cases of anti-Jewish and Muslim actions have also increased.
Ducrou also said: Germany does not recognize structural racism enough and does little to protect people from hate crimes. Based on this, politically motivated attacks and crimes, including insults and attacks on those seeking protection and resettlement of refugees, have increased in 2023 compared to the previous year.
Amnesty International's annual report examines human rights trends in 155 countries. In particular, the organization highlights four negative points for 2023: the increasing vulnerability of civilians in armed conflicts, lagging behind in gender equality, attacks on human rights activists, and the dangers posed by the use of artificial intelligence and surveillance technologies.
In this alarming annual report, Amnesty International also condemned serious violations of human rights around the world. "The rule of law and human rights around the world have been under threat for decades," the organization said as it presented its annual report on Tuesday.
The organization also warns against increasing human rights abuses through the use of artificial intelligence. "Artificial intelligence can be used for discrimination, misinformation and division," said Lena Rohrbach, human rights expert in the digital age from the human rights organization. Software like ChatGPT, which generates texts, can produce and spread hate speech on an assembly line.
Amnesty International specifically condemned the use of facial recognition. Rohrbacher said the German federal government has yet to follow through on its promise to ban facial recognition in public spaces. The use of artificial intelligence is currently being discussed in both the European Football Championship in Germany and the Olympic Games in Paris.
