We must however learn to orient ourselves in thought, a fortiori in these times of uncertainty. My conviction is that the great philosophers are, by their lives and their concepts, incomparable guides.

For Dominique EDDE, It is time to get away from "us against them", to put an end to this war to the death for the exclusive possession of "the Holy Land", "the Land of the Bible". And to replace it with "them and us", to make Palestine a shared land where everyone can live in peace and security where the Israeli and Palestinian flags will fly side by side. To follow in the footsteps of Mandela who, despite the horrors and monstrosities of apartheid and the suffering of black peoples, wanted and knew how to build the Rainbow Nation of South Africa. / Jean-Claude MAIRAL / 11/19/2023

At the crossroads, the future of these possibilities will once again, undoubtedly, outline the future of our humanity!

When we hear about the ICC, we often think of it as an essential part of international law. This is not the case. While it is true that 124 countries initially accepted it, 30 others have not ratified it, including the United States, China, Russia, India, Pakistan, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia and Turkey.
