'This Tribunal surely helps prevent the crime of silence in the pressing case of Palestine'
- Tony Simpson, Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation,
'A weapon for those who are compelled by human decency to mobilise solidarity in order to overcome one of the greatest injustices of modern times. It speaks out against the crime of silence - one of Bertrand Russell's immortal injunctions!'
- Ronnie Kasrils, writer, activist, former South African government minister,
<p>'This report from the Russell Tribunal is essential reading. Many of the corporations that trade with Israel have manifestos and Human Rights commitments that, they claim, inform their business decisions. The Tribunal tests these claims and finds them wanting. We hope the shareholders and customers of these companies, whether individuals or institutions, will look at the conclusions of the Tribunal and demand that integrity replaces unprincipled greed'</p>
- Ronnie Kasrils, writer, activist, former South African government minister,
'The Russell Tribunal unpicks the tangled but systematic corporate collusion that cements it all together. Walls have a history of tumblin' down'
