Palestine Center for Public Policy’s Post

Agnes Callamard, Secretary General of Amnesty International: - “After more than four months of conflict, Israel’s campaign of retaliation against Hamas has been characterized by a pattern of war crimes and violations of international law.” - “Israel forcibly displaced Palestinians, imposing conditions that have left hundreds of thousands without basic human necessities. It has carried out indiscriminate, disproportionate, and direct attacks on civilians and “civilian objects,” such as schools and hospitals.” - “Today’s diplomatic complicity in the catastrophic human rights and humanitarian crisis in Gaza is the culmination of years of erosion of the international rule of law and global human rights system.” - “Israel’s massive bombardment of Gaza has roots that go deeper in history than the long running “war on terror,” including the 1948 expulsion of roughly 750,000 Palestinians from their homes, which came to be known as the nakba, or catastrophe.” Read on.

The Times They Are a-Changin'! We need new political faces in diplomacy and fresh ideas representing humanity instead of political lobby interests! The world has to grow together in order to urgently address the issues that impact all of us like conflict, climate change, inequality and forced migration. This we can only do without any dominance, as equals, collectively in solidarity. www.convergence.ngo & www.pax.ngo

The African Union[𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐀𝐁𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐒] Deadline: 25 August 2024. Advocating for the ratification of the 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐜𝐨𝐥 𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐜𝐨𝐥 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐑𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 #MalaboProtocol.

This provision, often called the “impunity clause,” has sparked intense debate about the role of the African Court in addressing international crimes and upholding the rule of law. Despite these challenges, the Malabo Protocol remains an important initiative for enhancing regional accountability and justice in Africa. Its potential to address impunity for serious crimes, including genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, is significant.” 🎙️ 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐇𝐚𝐣𝐞𝐫 𝐆𝐮𝐞𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐡, 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧.

The Geneva Conventions are one of humanity's most important statements from the last century. 58 countries, hoping to limit the kinds of horrors seen during the Second World War, signed the four Geneva Conventions on 12 August 1949. The four Conventions have since been universally ratified by 196 states. They’re the only set of rules we all agree on – wars must have limits. Regardless of the circumstances, upholding international humanitarian law maintains some humanity in armed conflicts, saves lives and reduces suffering. Alongside their Additional Protocols, the Conventions aim to protect people not, or no longer, fighting – people who are wounded, prisoners of war, or civilians. These rules remain as relevant today as ever and must be protected by every country.

These are the rules of war that we all agree on. #RedCross #NZRedCross #GenevaConventions #RulesOfWar #ArmedConflict #InternationalHumanitarianLaw

🔔 My opinion piece "It's Time to Implement a Legal Roadmap to Peace" can now be read at JusticeInfo.net. The Middle East is in a state of upheaval. The reality is not as complicated as it may seem, though. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) and UN General Assembly recently provided leaders with a ground-breaking roadmap detailing what Israel and States must do to comply with international law and bring Israel’s unlawful presence in Palestine to an end. If correctly and promptly implemented, this roadmap can result in a return to legality and peace across the region and spare coming generations from the ravages of war and oppression. #Peace #InternationalLaw #JusticeInfo
