Filling the gaps for a path to peace

Russia's assault on Ukraine, with its resulting tragic creation of millions more refugees, continues to receive massive mainstream news media coverage. Most of it, unfortunately, remains narrowly focused (Sky Television has even banned RT 'Russia Today' from broadcasting on its network) and largely ignoresthe ominously growing lack of respect for human rights and international law on all sides.
Refugees elsewhere are losing more recognition now than ever before, and those responsible for their suffering hide behind hypocritical pronouncements of concern. Earlier this month, US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, demanded that the UN Human RightsCouncil strip Russia of its UNHRCmembership while later denouncingthe Council's investigations into Israel's inhumanities against the Palestinian people as “a stain on the council’s credibility”. UNHRCinvestigations have found Israel responsible for persistent human rights violation, including “the right to life”.
