Our Obligations Under International Law: Open Letter From The Belgian Academic Community On The Ongoing Humanitarian Crisis In Gaza

If you are a colleague or student of Ghent University or any of the other 9 Belgian universities, you may want to read, sign and share the open letter in the link below, addressing the Flemish Interuniversity Council (VLIR) and the Walloon Council of Rectors (CRef). This letter expresses a deep concern about the genocide in Gaza and asks Belgian universities to stop collaborations of any kind with Israeli universities because they come at the direct expense of Palestinian liberation and they are complicit in crimes of apartheid, occupation, ethnic cleansing and now also genocide.
