On Jan. 1, Ireland began its two-year term as a member of the United Nations’ Security Council. Upon being selected to occupy one of the 10 non-permanent seats, the country said three principles would guide its time on the council: building peace, strengthening conflict prevention and ensuring accountability.

Comhlámh, a Dublin-based social justice organization, recently held a webinar to assess if and how Ireland will apply these principles to the Israel-Palestine issue.
