The UN’s top investigative body on Palestine and Israel ruled on September 16 that Israel is guilty of the crime of genocide in Gaza, in the most authoritative pronouncement to date.
The cultural and historical sites of Gaza form an integral part of world heritage. Their destruction amounts to crimes under international criminal law.
In “a mockery of international law,” per one expert, Israel has bombed the residence of Hamas officials negotiating peace in Doha, Qatar.
Under international law, including Article 37(d) of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, every child has the right to prompt access to legal assistance and to challenge the legality of their detention before a court. Israel consistently deprives Palestinian kids of this right.
Armed settlers, backed by the Israeli military, forcibly took over 50 acres of privately-owned Palestinian land in Masafer Yatta in the West Bank – an area featured in the Oscar-winning documentary ‘No Other Land’
The world’s leading genocide scholars’ association has backed a resolution stating that Israel’s actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of the crime.
The vice-president of the International Court of Justice said, ‘The Lord is counting on me to stand on the side of Israel.’ How did we get here?
Already targeted by US sanctions, the ICC chief prosecutor’s pursuit of Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders now threatens his career, his reputation, and the future of the court itself.
“It is the cry of a people who have endured massacres and starvation. We came here to tell the world: stop this genocide, stop this slaughter. We love life, and we will not leave our land.”
Over 80 organizations express grave concern regarding the preventable humanitarian catastrophe and mass starvation in the occupied Gaza Strip.
