🇵🇸 Urgent Policy Brief by Palestinian civil society networks: States must uphold international law and stop Israel’s looming genocide in Gaza | Anti Apartheid Movement
#Palestine #Genocide #InternationalLaw
The Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide seeks to prevent and punish the crime of Genocide. It allows for no justification for genocide nor any extenuating circumstances with regard to actions that constitute genocide.
The Genocide Convention underlines the imperative of preventing or stopping an ongoing genocide and makes clear that inaction by States party to the treaty, including Third States, renders those states themselves responsible for breaching their duties under international law in relation to genocide.
As such, any state that encourages and supports Israel’s actions, including the forcible transfer of civilians and other war crimes, may additionally incur legal responsibility.

🇵🇸 Here Are Some of the War Crimes Committed by Israel So Far in Gaza | MintPress - October 2023
Let’s not mince words: Israel is committing Genocide, and that’s according to Article 6 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Article 6 defines genocide as “causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of a group” or “deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about [a group’s] physical destruction in whole or in part.” And Israeli leaders have not been shy about expressing their intent to destroy the people of Gaza.

🇵🇸 The Rome Statute established four core international crimes: genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression.

#Palestine #Genocide #Gaza #WarCrimes #CrimesAgainstHumanity #CrimeOfAgression #InternationalLaw #RomeStatute
Those crimes "shall not be subject to any statute of limitations".[9] Under the Rome Statute, the ICC can only investigate and prosecute the four core international crimes in situations where states are "unable" or "unwilling" to do so themselves; the jurisdiction of the court is complementary to jurisdictions of domestic courts. The court has jurisdiction over crimes only if they are committed in the territory of a state party or if they are committed by a national of a state party; an exception to this rule is that the ICC may also have jurisdiction over crimes if its jurisdiction is authorized by the United Nations Security Council.https://www.icc-cpi.int/sites/default/files/RS-Eng.pdf

🇵🇸 Scholars’ consensus: Genocide in Gaza marks turning point, Israel must be held accountable | Euro Med Monitor
Geneva – The characterisation of Israeli actions in Gaza as genocide by UN experts and international legal scholars should mark a turning point, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said today, in a call for Israel to be held accountable for its crimes.
Israel has a long history of committing acts of genocide against the Palestinian people, including the 1948 murder and mass displacement of Palestinians (#Nakba), as well as military occupation for more than 50 years, which has resulted in the establishment of an apartheid regime ruling the Palestinian people and repeated military assaults on Gaza, which sparked the Israel’s ongoing, extremely violent chapter in Palestinian history.

🇵🇸 Gaza: UN experts call on international community to prevent genocide against the Palestinian people | OHCHR –
GENEVA (16 November 2023) – Grave violations committed by Israel against Palestinians in the aftermath of 7 October, particularly in Gaza, point to a genocide in the making, UN experts said today. They illustrated evidence of increasing genocidal incitement, overt intent to “destroy the Palestinian people under occupation”, loud calls for a ‘second Nakba’ in Gaza and the rest of the occupied Palestinian territory, and the use of powerful weaponry with inherently indiscriminate impacts, resulting in a colossal death toll and destruction of life-sustaining infrastructure.

🇵🇸 Self-defence in Israel and Palestine: Unsuspending Disbelief – Research Society of International Law
In this short post, we focus on a distinct but interrelated question, namely whether Israel’s use of force against Gaza could be described as self-defence at all. Our answer is in the negative.
One preliminary comment is necessary: recently Marko Milanovic raised the question whether the prohibition of the use of force is applicable at all in the relationship between Gaza and Israel.
The question refers to the view that if Palestine is not a state with Gaza as part of its territory, the prohibition of the use of force would not apply to Gaza. We come to this question as critical legal scholars who do not wish to romanticise the concept of statehood in international law.

🇵🇸 Putting Palestinians "On a Diet": Israel's Siege & Blockade of Gaza | IMEU – 2014
Israel’s siege and blockade of Gaza are central pillars of a policy of economic warfare intended to punish the entire population of the tiny, occupied coastal strip in the hopes that Palestinians living there will blame Hamas for their predicament and reject the organization as well as any resistance to Israel’s continued control of the territory.
As noted by the UN and human rights organizations such as Amnesty International, this amounts to collective punishment, which is a violation of international law. (Read the article for more on the legal status of the blockade and siege.)

Since October 7, Israel has comprehensively and directly targeted civilian infrastructure; used extreme and unprecedented levels of disproportionate force; and showed near-total disregard for civilian lives; sparing almost nothing in its attacks on the Gaza Strip, Euro-Med Monitor concluded in a new report released on Tuesday. The Israeli assault on Gaza can only be described as a genocide in the making.
The report, titled “War Diaries: Israel’s Genocide in the Making in Gaza”, chronicles and highlights some of the most egregious Israeli actions in Gaza on a day-by-day basis, some of which may amount to war crimes and even crimes against humanity.

🇵🇸 US explicitly involved in committing war crimes against civilians in the Gaza Strip | EuroMed HR Monitor
Geneva – In a new statement following the revelation that the United States has supplied Israel with 100 2,000-pound “bunker buster” bombs since the start of Israel’s genocide in the Gaza Strip on the Gaza Strip, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor condemned the US action.
The aforementioned weapons are fortification-piercing bombs, with a warhead (BLU-109) that is known for its ability to deeply penetrate fortified structures before detonating and causing significant casualties among civilians. As such, their use is strictly forbidden in civilian and residential areas, Euro-Med Monitor said.

🇵🇸 Dutch rights groups take government to court over arms to Israel | Middle East Eye –
Human rights groups are challenging the Dutch government in court, arguing it is complicit in alleged Israeli violations of international law in Gaza by supplying F-35 fighter jet parts.
The suit, brought by Oxfam Novib, PAX and The Rights Forum, comes after a Dutch newspaper reported that the government allowed a delivery of the components despite foreign ministry lawyers warning that Israel was committing serious violations of humanitarian law.
The components, made by the #US-based #LockheedMartin, are stored at a warehouse in the #Netherlands and then shipped to #Israel and other countries.
"The government allowed itself to be blackmailed by Israel and the US - at the expense of Palestinian lives," The Rights Forum has said.

South Africa is charging Israel with genocide in the Strip, citing Israeli violations under the Genocide Convention.

In an unprecedented first, South Africa is taking Israel to the International Court of Justice for violating the Genocide Convention in its unrelenting bombardment of Gaza since 7 October 2023. This is the first time Israel - a nation state built as a sanctuary for Jews who have historically faced anti-Semitism, pogroms, and genocide - will take the stand to defend itself against accusations of genocide. In a meticulously written 84-page document, South Africa has made a strong case for why it believes Israel has committed genocide against the Palestinians.
Ahead of the first part of the case against Israel which will begin on January 11, here’s what you need to know.

One of northern Gaza’s largest hospitals, the facility was under siege for days in November and may never open again. While some patients in critical condition were allowed to evacuate the hospital, survivors recall torture even on the evacuation route. Israel has targeted more than 150 health care facilities in Gaza since Oct 7. The targeting of hospitals is a violation of international humanitarian law.
