Almost 140 international human rights groups -- including KLJP -- representing thousands of social justice and movement lawyers globally have submitted a critical amicus brief in support of the appeal filed by several Palestinian human rights organizations, Palestinians in Gaza, and Palestinian-Americans, Defense for Children International - Palestine et al v. Biden et al. (U.S. Ct. of Appeals, 9th Cir. case no. 24-704). The appeal arises from the district court’s decision to decline ruling on the case because it deemed the matter to be reserved for the political branches of government.
