"Esteemed colleagues,
As academics, scholars and professionals from various disciplines, including public health, medicine, history, sociology, criminology, genocide research, economics, political sciences, international relations and psychology, alongside activists and members of global civil society, we write to express our profound concern over the ongoing genocide, public health crisis and systemic destruction in Gaza. We are alarmed by the international community's failure to respond adequately to this humanitarian emergency.We note with dismay that some associations have either remained silent or issued statements that fall short of moral and professional responsibility in the face of overwhelming evidence and widespread recognition of genocide. We recognise that a small number of associations have taken important steps by passing resolutions in support of a ceasefire and academic freedom. We commend these efforts. However, we also note with concern that such statements have avoided the use of the term “genocide”, and that apart from some exceptions (e.g., the International Sociological Association and the Middle East section of the American Anthropological Association), these statements fail to clearly indicate responsibility for the mass atrocities, nor do they call for international legal accountability.Neutrality in the face of genocide is complicity. We call on associations to recognize and respond to the health, psychological, social, economic, and structural collapse occurring in Gaza".
