Latin America is advancing a coordinated push to elevate accountability demands against Israel within the UN system. In Chile, civil society groups are preparing to launch an international campaign invoking Article 6 of the UN Charter to call for Israel’s expulsion, citing what they describe as systematic violations of international law and UN resolutions. In Brazil, legislative institutions reinforced this momentum through a public session in Paraná titled “Silent Voices,” highlighting the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the West Bank and the UN’s failure to halt ongoing violations.
