The Dries van Agt Lecture 2026 brings together two of the most influential voices in the global struggle for justice for Palestine: Dr. Naledi Pandor, South Africa’s former Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, and Prof. Noura Erakat, human rights lawyer and scholar at Rutgers University.
The annual lecture honours the legacy of Dries van Agt (1931–2024), former Prime Minister of the Netherlands and founder of The Rights Forum. After leaving office, Van Agt became a principled and unwavering advocate for Palestinian rights, insisting that Dutch and European policy be grounded in international law, human dignity, and equality. The lecture continues this commitment by inviting leaders and thinkers who exemplify the courage to uphold principles in the face of political pressure.

In de geschiedenis
Israël schendt het internationaal recht met de systematische discriminatie van Palestijnen op de Westelijke Jordaanoever, stelt de Hoge Commissaris voor de Mensenrechten van de Verenigde Naties (VN) in het rapport ‘Israel’s discriminatory administration of the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem’.
Het rapport bevat voorbeelden van hoe het leven van Palestijnen in de bezette gebieden steeds meer wordt beperkt en onveilig is geworden. Uit het rapport zou blijken dat er gegronde redenen zijn om aan te nemen dat de segregatie en ondergeschiktheid van Palestijnen bedoeld zijn om permanent te blijven. “Handelingen die worden gepleegd met de bedoeling een dergelijk beleid te handhaven, vormen een schending van artikel 3 van het Internationale Verdrag ICERD, dat rassenscheiding en apartheid verbiedt”, aldus het rapport. VN-mensenrechtenchef Volker Türk noemt het in een bijgevoegde verklaring een bijzonder ernstige vorm van rassendiscriminatie en segregatie, “die lijkt op het soort apartheidssysteem dat we eerder hebben gezien.” Volgens hem worden de rechten van het Palestijnse volk op de Westelijke Jordaanoever systematisch onderdrukt.

Shootings by US immigration agents January 2026 / Killing of Renée Good / Portland shooting / ICE kidnapping.
On January 7, 2026, Renée Nicole Macklin Good, a 37-year-old female US citizen, was fatally shot by a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Good was behind the wheel of an SUV at the scene of an ongoing ICE operation when she was approached by ICE agents who reportedly gave conflicting orders, according to an eyewitness. Good began to leave the scene as an agent pulled the driver’s side door handle and reached in the window. A separate agent near the front of the vehicle fired three shots and killed Good as the vehicle moved past him, at a moment when Good was maneuvering forward but away from the shooter. Federal officials and President Donald Trump defended the shooting, claiming the agent acted in self-defense and that Good had attempted to run him over. These claims have been contested by eyewitnesses and by journalists’ analysis of video footage. The characterization of the shooting as justified has been disputed by local figures and by Democratic Party lawmakers, the latter of whom have called for a criminal investigation. Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota governor Tim Walz called on the federal government to end their presence in the city. Thousands of people have protested in Minneapolis, and more have protested in other cities including Chicago, New York, and Washington, D.C. On January 6, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced what it called the largest immigration enforcement operation ever carried out, sending 2,000 agents to the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area. The surge included Homeland Security Investigations officers focused on suspected fraud. Saint Paul City Council member Molly Coleman described the first day of the action as “unlike any other day we’ve experienced”. An eyewitness to the shooting said, “People in our neighborhood have been terrorized by ICE for six weeks.” The killing of Good was the ninth time that ICE agents had opened fire on people since September 2025. Four other people have been killed during federal deportation operations.
On January 8, 2026, a man and woman were shot and wounded by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at 2:20 PM in Portland, Oregon, after CBP reportedly stated that a Toyota Tacoma tried to run them over according to the police dispatch logs. Portland City Council president Elana Pirtle-Guiney said that the two were still alive. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is currently investigating the incident, and the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) secured the scenes requiring investigation shortly after. According to the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) a man (reportedly an undocumented Venezuelan national) and a woman who the DHS suspected to be a part of the Tren de Aragua gang were subject to a “targeted vehicle stop” by CBP agents in the parking lot of Adventist Health Portland. They claimed that after agents identified themselves to the vehicle occupant, the driver of the vehicle reportedly attempted to run over the CBP agents. One witness, however, claims the couple drove away after agents banged on their vehicle’s window. One agents claimed to have fired one or more “defensive” shots “fearing for his life and safety,” which as a result hit the man in the arm and the woman in the chest at approximately 2:15 p.m. local time. One witness said they heard five gunshots, with officers having boxed in a Toyota truck. Portland officers responded to the report of a shooting at approximately 2:18 p.m. They arrived outside the Adventist hospital campus shortly after. However, the couple drove away from the scene of the incident after the shooting before the husband called 911 for help, claiming they were shot by Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) agents. At 2:24, officers received his distress call from near Northeast 146th Avenue and East Burnside Street, approximately 2.5 to 3 miles away. Police discovered both with apparent gunshot wounds, applied a tourniquet, and called for emergency medical personnel. They were transported to a local hospital shortly after, and medical technicians rushing them to the hospital described both as Spanish speakers. Portland City Council member Jamie Dunphy stated that the wounded man and woman are a married couple.
On January 14, another person was reported to have been shot in Minneapolis by ICE agents, this in the leg during a home invasion.
On January 20, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers detained a five-year-old boy on Tuesday during an immigration enforcement operation, Minnesota school officials and the family’s lawyer have said. Pre-schooler Liam Ramos was with his father – named by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias – when Conejo Arias was approached by agents on his driveway. In a statement posted on X, the DHS said “ICE did NOT target a child”, but was conducting an operation against his father, an “illegal alien” who “abandoned” his son when approached.
On January 24, Federal immigration agents shot dead a man during an operation in Minneapolis on Saturday, officials said, as police chief Brian O’Hara described an “incredibly volatile scene” and urged residents to avoid the area amid protests against the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man named Alex Pretti, in Minneapolis, according to local police officials. Pretti was a 37-year-old intensive care nurse and American citizen, died after at least 10 shots were fired at him as he lay on the ground. A DHS statement claimed “an individual approached US Border Patrol officers” with “a handgun”. A Bellingcat analysis of the footage appears to show that a gun was taken away from where Pretti was situated by an agent just before the first shot was fired. The gun taken by the agent appears to match the general appearance of the firearm shared online by DHS, and which they said was Pretti’s. This agent’s back is turned from the scene with the gun in his hand when the first shot occurs.
In July, agents killed Joan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Maine and Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Texas, even though both were not targets of enforcement action.

Jantje Beton, een organisatie die zich inzet voor jeugdvoorzieningen in Nederland, organiseert de campagne ‘Het Buitenspeelalar
Hiermee wil Jantje Beton wij een krachtig signaal afgeven tegen de dreigende ‘binnenzitgeneratie’. Niet buitenspelen zorgt namelijk voor meer overgewicht, slechtziendheid, depressiviteit en slapeloosheid onder kinderen. Dit moet veranderen! Méér dan 400.000 kinderen in Nederland spelen nooit buiten. Er ontstaat een hele generatie aan binnenzitters. Dat is niet gezond. Jantje Beton maakt zich grote zorgen en slaat alarm! Vind jij buitenspelen ook superbelangrijk? Meld je dan aan voor het Buitenspeelalarm. Iedere eerste woensdag van de maand ontvang jij een extra herinnering om samen met je kind naar buiten te gaan of je kind naar buiten te sturen! Het alarm is niet alleen een melding, maar je ontvangt ook leuke tips, speelplekken en allerlei andere zaken om lekker naar buiten te gaan!

Het nummer ‘Koekoek’ wil kinderen stimuleren naar buiten te gaan
De bron van de Dag van de Rare Loopjes (The International Day of Silly Walks) ligt bij het Engelse Ministry of Silly Walks, is een sketch uit aflevering 14 van Monty Python’s Flying Circus, getiteld Face the Press, voor het eerst uitgezonden in 1970 met John Cleese in de hoofdrol.
De sketch begint in een boekwinkel in Londen, waar twee klanten staan. John Cleese komt binnen, gekleed in zwart City-kostuum met bolhoed. Hij koopt The Times, en maakt bij het weggaan een enigszins militaire draai, gevolgd door grote, slungelige passen. De camera volgt hem op straat, en Cleese draait, zwaait en loopt gehurkt. Hij gaat een gebouw binnen, en de camera toont het bordje op het ijzeren hek: “The Ministry of Silly Walks”. In de gang zien we nog drie mensen met een raar loopje passeren. Binnen presenteert ene Mr. Putey (Michael Palin) zijn loopje in ontwikkeling (walk in progress), maar het blijkt eigenlijk niet zo erg raar te zijn. De ambtenaar vertelt Putey dat hij niet gelooft dat het ministerie hem kan helpen omdat zijn loop niet raar genoeg is, en het budget is klein (“Maar met subsidie kan ik hem nog veel raarder maken!”, zegt Putey nog). De regering, zo legt hij uit, behoort evenveel uit te geven aan Defensie, Sociale zekerheid, Gezondheidszorg, Huisvesting, Onderwijs, en Rare loopjes ( Defence, Social Security, Health, Housing, Education, and Silly Walks), maar heeft onlangs nog minder uitgegeven aan rare loopjes dan aan defensie. De ambtenaar legt later uit dat Mr. Putey misschien aan het Anglo-Franse rare loopje, Le Marche Futile (een overduidelijke parodie op de ontwikkeling van de Concorde), kan werken. Mevrouw Twolumps (Tweeklontjes), de secretaresse van de ambtenaar, brengt koffie met een dusdanig raar loopje dat er geen koffie meer in de kopjes zit tegen de tijd dat ze op tafel gezet worden.
