Dear brothers and sisters in humanity,

It's time to take action when Unicef has refused to take action when it comes to peace. It has never lived up to it's name and we should acknowledge this. It's time to show Unicef that we will not back down from their decision to support war crimes ― under the guise of a charity. 

Read here: My petition and reasons to sign it.

• Unicef came to my attention from watching the speech of the young, brave, intelligent, and beautiful, Ayesha Malik at Beautycon. The speech was addressed to the celebrity named as Priyanka Chopra who is Unicef's goodwill peace ambassador and Bollywood actress, widely known for her marriage to Nick Jonas. Priyanka has been heavily criticised for her cold, and soulless reply towards Ayesha.
• The UN response was that any person representing it can make personal comments, however the "Jai Hind" Indian armed forces post is quite obviously political and personal. Considering the bad timing for such a distasteful post; no further action has been taken by Unicef which brings their name into question.

The United Nations rejected a request from Pakistan’s minister for human rights, asking that Chopra should be removed of her role as a UN goodwill ambassador for peace.

After reading the below, it may inform many of you and explain some of the reasons why Unicef has remained complicit about the situation of its own ambassadors for "peace." 

Unicef's Crimes against children
The BNC notes that UNICEF’s slogan is “For every child, hope,” and that the UN organization “has widely documented how Israel’s illegal settlements deny Palestinian children their basic human rights and any hope for a future of justice, peace and dignity.”

Yet UNICEF is “supporting an electricity cable to these colonial settlements, granting them recognition, money and infrastructure so they flourish,” the BNC states.

Israel’s systematic abuse of Palestinian children includes military detention and torture in the West Bank.

And in Gaza, a UN independent commission of inquiry recently called for the arrest of Israelis involved in alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity including the intentional killing of children during Great March of Return protests.

"With a budget of $4 billion largely financed by the European Union, the EuroAsia Interconnector has received a high-level blessing from the Trump administration, which recently granted US recognition to Israel’s illegal annexation of the Golan Heights.

Risk to citizens’ privacy
The BNC is also warning of a risk to citizens’ privacy in relation to a side project of the EuroAsia Interconnector, the so-called Quantum cable, a fiber-optic line that will run from Spain to Israel.

“Laying of the Quantum cable will mean that 60 percent of the world’s internet traffic – between Europe and Asia – will pass through Israel, raising serious concerns on security and civil rights,” according to the BNC.

Israel has a well-documented record of cyberspying and subterfuge, capabilities that its intelligence agencies and firms deploy against advocates for Palestinian human rights or market to other repressive regimes such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

“The EU’s support for the EuroAsia Interconnector and Israeli gas export to Europe stands in stark contrast with Israel’s systematic assault on Palestinian human rights, energy sources and supply,” the BNC adds.

While UNICEF’s open support for Israel’s criminal activities is out of keeping with its mission and mandate, the EU’s complicity is typical of the bloc’s long-standing policy of rewarding Israel for its violations in spite of European lip service to peace, human rights and international.

The EuroAsia Interconnector will unify Europe and Israel’s electricity networks, including grids powering Israel’s illegal settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory.

This multi-billion euro project rewards Israel for its war crimes while Palestinians are being kept in the dark.

Israel’s siege on Gaza limits electricity to just a few hours per day for close to 2 million Palestinians living there. Israel has repeatedly demolished Palestinian solar energy installations in the occupied West Bank, the only source of energy for many communities.

UNICEF, the UN agency for children, is a “proud supporter” of this shameful project.

Tell UNICEF: Israel’s war crimes are nothing to be proud of

After reading all of this, I hope it sheds some light on the poor decisions of Unicef. This petition is to show to the UN that we are aware of their injustice and refusal to hold their ambassadors accountable for their own actions. 

Despite qualified ministers and journalists sending their letters to the UN in protest of removing Priyanka from her role as a goodwill peace ambassador. The UN has refused this right and supported Priyanka in her statement. Whether or not Unicef has condoned the project to reward Israeli war crimes; it does not negate that they have allowed their ambassador to encourage nuclear war. 

Please join me in this cause and spread the word that we will not back down. Let's show our support and solidarity for our brothers and sisters that are being oppressed. Let us stand up for social justice and show our bravery. 

"Israel is an exceptional state because no other state violates as many UN resolutions while being sanction-proof." Lowkey

Boycott Unicef and make this our goal to spread this mission.
