A “fiercely held” independent foreign policy?
Leslie Bravery | 6 July 2022
https://thedailyblog.co.nz/2022/07/06/a-fiercely-held-independent-foreign-policy/
Addressing the NATO military alliance summit on 30 June, the New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, informed leaders: “Aotearoa New Zealand has a fiercely held independent foreign policy.” What she called “our foreign policy interventions” were based, she said, on “the simple concept that, when our shared humanity is undermined, we all suffer.” Ardern described the war in Ukraine as “an affront to our multilateral institutions” and, stressing the need to “speak out against human rights abuses at all times”, expressed her concern for “the mounting pressure on the international rules-based order”.
Following such clear pronouncements, it is reasonable to request our Prime Minister to explain more clearly her policy towards Israel's land-grabbing oppression of the Palestinian people. In her speech before the NATO military alliance, Jacinda Ardern referred to New Zealand's “significant contributions to the international legal effort to hold Russia accountable” so it is fair to ask her what significant contributions the present Government has made, or at least intends to make, in order to hold Israel to account for its imposition of the longest military occupation in modern history.
