On 23 September 2025, Americans for Democracy & Human Rights in Bahrain (ADHRB) delivered an intervention during the 60th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, under the General Debate of Item 4. The intervention drew the Council’s attention to Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, highlighting the mass killings, destruction, famine, and targeting of civilians, and urging immediate action to protect the Palestinian people.

Since 7 October 2023, Israel’s genocide in Gaza has been ongoing, with no meaningful action to halt it. In over 700 days of war, 73,731 Palestinians have been killed or disappeared—including 20,000 children and 12,500 women—while 2,700 families have been completely erased from civil records.

90% of the Strip has been destroyed, displacing 2 million Palestinians. Famine has already taken 428 lives, with 650,000 children at risk of starvation. No one is spared — 1,670 medical workers and over 250 journalists have been killed.

The random mass killings, bombardment of homes, hospitals, and schools, and denial of food and medicine are acts of genocide. Both the UN fact-finding commission and the Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Palestine have affirmed this, warning that inaction amounts to complicity.

We demand an immediate end to the war, the lifting of the blockade, unrestricted delivery of aid, and the protection of the Palestinian people. Every day of inaction costs more lives and undermines the effectiveness of international institutions’ mechanisms.
