                      diplomat for \u201curgent consultations,\u201d accusing
                      Petro of promoting \u201cbaseless and reprehensible\u201d
                      statements. Petro then followed suit and recalled
                      the U.S. ambassador.</p>

style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">The
                      Colombian foreign minister opened Tuesday\u2019s event.
                      \u201cColombia has positioned itself without ambiguity:
                      what is happening in Gaza is a genocide,\u201d
                      Villavicencio said on Tuesday morning. \u201cThat is
                      why this meeting seeks to go beyond declarations.
                      We seek to support investigations by the
                      International Criminal Court, demand commitment by
                      the International Court of Justice, propose
                      specific sanctions, and mobilize every instrument
                      that International Law allows.\u201d</p>

                      speakers on Tuesday morning included Riyad
                      Mansour, the Palestinian ambassador and permanent
                      observer of Palestine to the UN; Varsha
                      Gandikota-Nellutla, the Executive Director of The
                      Hague Group; Zane Dangor, the Director-General of
                      the Department of International Relations and
                      Cooperation of South Africa; and Dr Thaer Ahmad, a
                      Palestinian-American doctor, who has visited Gaza
                      to treat victims.</p>
                    <p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Dr.
                      Ahmad spoke openly about the devastation he
                      observed, while working at Nasser Hospital in Khan
                      Younis and Al Aqsa hospital in Deir El Balah last
                      year. \u201cFirst responders and paramedics are
                      prevented from doing their job or sometimes killed
                      in the line of duty,\u201d Dr. Ahmad said. \u201cStarvation
                      and water is being used as a weapon of war.\u201d</p>
                    <p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Mansour
                      also addressed the conference\u2019s opening. \u201cThe core
                      values we believed humanity agreed were universal
                      are shattered\u2014blown to pieces, like the tens of
                      thousands of starved, murdered, and injured
                      civilians in Palestine,\u201d Mansour said.
                      \u201cAccountability alone is not enough for justice to
                      prevail in Palestine. We must deconstruct the
                      regime of illegal colonial occupation and
                      apartheid to ensure that the current horrifying
                      crimes do not repeat. The best and most assured
                      way to protect the Palestinian people from more
                      crimes is their freedom.\u201d</p>
