Book excerpt: On 3 April 2009, the President of the Human Rights Council established the United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict with the mandate "to investigate all violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law that might have been committed at any time in the context of the military operations that were conducted in Gaza during the period from 27 December 2008 and 18 January 2009, whether before, during or after."

Book Synopsis Is There a Court for Gaza? by : Chantal Meloni
Download or read book Is There a Court for Gaza? written by Chantal Meloni and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-03-16 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'Goldstone Report' of September 2009 started a critical debate at the international level. The Report raised serious allegations of grave violations of international law with regard to the Israeli attack on Gaza of 27 December 2008 - 18 January 2009, amounting to possible war crimes and crimes against humanity. The UN General Assembly and the Human Rights Council, amidst high political pressure, endorsed the Report’s recommendations, calling for prompt and proper investigations to ensure accountability and justice for the victims. Given the lack of proper investigations at the national level, international justice mechanisms are now needed. Indeed, the ICC opened a preliminary examination of the situation but difficulties arose because of the uncertain status of the occupied Palestinian territory. The issue of the existence of a State of Palestine is extremely actual and still unsolved at the UN level. With a foreword by prof. William Schabas, the book collects contributions by renowned international law professors as Eric David, John Dugard, Richard Falk and many other distinguished scholars and lawyers, and brings together for the first time essential documentation on the 'Gaza conflict'. The underlying question, whether there is a court for Gaza, can be seen as a test case for international justice, and shed a light on the role of international institutions in the difficult combination of law and politics that connotes international justice. Useful for all those interested in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, such as international and criminal law scholars, and human rights and humanitarian organizations.
Book Synopsis Appraisal of the United Nation's Goldstone Report on the Gaza Conflict by : Iheke Chukwu
Download or read book Appraisal of the United Nation's Goldstone Report on the Gaza Conflict written by Iheke Chukwu and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2010-10 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study aims at a critical evaluation of the report produced by the United Nation Human Right Council Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict dubbed the Goldstone Report.By interpreting relevant instruments of IHL and applying them to the key military operations on which the mission analyzed and passed their judgment.Hinging on the works of conflict scholars to support the interpretations of the legal instrument of armed conflict utilized,the study is of the view that the claim by the Goldstone Report that the Israeli Defense Force committed war crimes and crimes against humanity in the cause of carrying out the Operation Cast Lead in Gaza Strip is not necessarily the case.The study also holds that the report is problematic because the HRC was biased in its choice of members for the mission and the mandate which stem from the HRC Resolution S 9/1 was basically prejudged on the subject matter to be investigated.Being that conflicts of this nature which the UN may need to investigate may arise in the future within Nation States,the study recommends,among other things,that HRC,its fact finding mission mandates and its mission be devoid of any form of prejudice and prejudgment.

Book Synopsis "This Time We Went Too Far" by : Norman G. Finkelstein
Download or read book "This Time We Went Too Far" written by Norman G. Finkelstein and published by OR Books. This book was released on 2011 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the Palestinians who live in the narrow coastal strip of Gaza, the Israeli invasion of December 2008 was a nightmare of unimaginable proportions: In the 22-day-long action 1,400 Gazans were killed, several hundred on the first day alone. And yet, while nothing should diminish Palestinian suffering through those frightful days, it is possible something redemptive is emerging from the tragedy of Gaza. For, as Norman Finkelstein details, in a concise work that melds cold anger with cool analysis, the profound injustice of the Israeli assault was widely recognized by bodies that it is impossible to brand as partial or extremist. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and the UN investigation headed by Richard Goldstone, in documenting Israel’s use of indiscriminate and intentional force against the civilian population during the invasion (100 Palestinians died for every one Israeli), have had an impact on longstanding support for Israel. Jews in both the Unites States and the United Kingdom, for instance, have begun to voice dissent, and this trend is especially apparent among the young. Such a shift, Finkelstein contends, can create new pressure capable of moving the Middle East crisis towards a solution, one that embraces justice for Palestinians and Israelis alike. This new paperback edition has been revised throughout and includes an extensive afterword on the Israeli attack on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla which resulted in the deaths of nine activists and further strained the loyalty of many of Israel’s traditional allies around the world. It also contains a brand new appendix in which Finkelstein dissects the official Israeli investigation of the flotilla attack.

Download or read book The Goldstone Report Reconsidered written by Merkaz ha-yerushalmi leinyene zibbur umedina and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Israel has been the subject of numerous controversial U.N. inquiries related to armed conflict and responses to terror attacks. But, the scope and impact of the Report of the United Nations Fact-Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict, known as the Goldstone Report, were particularly extreme. Produced under the politicized U.N. Human Rights Council, the fact-finding reflected in the Goldstone Report has been shown to be largely inaccurate. Similarly, international legal claims were distorted in a manner that maximized allegations of Israeli violations, while minimizing Hamas war crimes during the December 2008 - January 2009 Gaza War. Applying a number of academic approaches, the contributors to this book systematically address the flaws of the report and examine its far-reaching consequences. As demonstrated, the Goldstone Report sets a highly flawed example for other investigations of armed conflicts and international justice. Its methodological deficiencies, double standards, misleading interpretations of law, and unsupported conclusions are antithetical to the universal principles of human rights, including the right to self-defense."--Publisher.

Book excerpt: On May 31, 2010, Israeli commandoes stormed an "activist" ship, sailing in a flotilla of ships which were carrying aid to the Gaza strip and transporting other activists to this region, which had been blockaded by Israel and Egypt since 2007. The activists were attempting to draw international support for Gaza, and to spark further condemnation of the Israeli blockade. In the raid, nine passengers were killed by the Israeli commandoes, dozens of activists were wounded, and several Israeli soldiers were shot. International reaction was swift: most countries condemned Israel, and even the U.S. President, Barak Obama, voiced "deep regret" over the raid. Accounts of what exactly happened on the morning of May 31 vary: Israel claimed that it had been the activists who fired first at Israeli soldiers, causing Israel to fire in self-defense, while activists claimed that it had been the Israeli commandoes which illegally boarded the activist ship and opened fire. What is undoubted is that Israel was involved in yet another international incident involving the Gaza, where its soldiers opened fire killing several individuals. The May 31 incident fits into an existing paradigm of internationally questionable Israeli military policy over Gaza, and portrays Israel once again as the potential aggressor and occupier over the Gaza strip. In fact, at the end of 2008, Israel launched a three-week military offensive in the Gaza Strip (Operation "Cast Lead"), during which Israel carried out over 2,360 air strikes over Gaza, numerous ground assaults, causing the death of approximately 1,300 Palestinians, and the wounding of over 5000 individuals. The Gaza conflict sparked numerous allegations of war crimes and international humanitarian law violations by both Israel and Hamas. Thus, the Human Rights Council appointed a United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict ("Goldstone Mission"), led by prominent international jurist Richard Goldstone, which issued a report in September 2009 (the "Goldstone Report"), concluding that both Israel and Hamas committed international law violations by indiscriminately targeting civilians. The Goldstone Report requested that the Security Council call on both Israel and Hamas to conduct investigations into war crimes allegations over the Gaza conflict; the Goldstone Report recommended that if such investigations were not undertaken, that the Security Council should refer the Gaza situation to the International Criminal Court ("ICC") Prosecutor. The Human Rights Council has accepted the Goldstone Report's recommendations, and has called upon all parties to ensure their implementation. It is a fair assertion that the Goldstone Report was met by controversy. Israel and its most important allies, such as the United States, have condemned the report and have questioned its veracity and authenticity. Arab states, as well as other, less Israel-friendly states, have hailed the report as an important international legal document shedding light on international humanitarian law violations committed by Israeli forces and calling into question the Israeli policy over Gaza. This Article will attempt to illuminate the above debate, by examining, in Part I, the history of Israel and its policy vis-à-vis the Gaza Strip. In Part II, this Article will briefly describe Operation Cast Lead, the events that preceded it, the actual warfare, and its aftermath. Part III of this Article will focus on international humanitarian law, and specifically, the violations thereof that have been alleged in Gaza. Part IV will describe the Goldstone Report, its main conclusions and the reasoning behind such conclusions. Ultimately, Part V will attempt to place the Goldstone Report in the larger context of international law, by analyzing its contributions to international humanitarian law, its reliance on the ICC, and its implications for foreign policy in the Middle East. This Article will conclude that the Goldstone Report, despite all the controversy surrounding it, represents nonetheless an invaluable contribution to the body of international law and to international relations in their application to the volatile Middle East region.

Book excerpt: This is a comprehensive Report on every armed conflict which took place during 2012. It is the first of a new series of annual reports on armed conflicts across the globe, offering an unprecedented overview of the nature, range, and impact of these conflicts and the legal issues they create. In Part I the Report describes its criteria for the identification and classification of armed conflicts under international law, and the legal consequences that flow from this classification. It sets out a list of armed conflicts in 2012, categorising each as international, non-international, or a military occupation, with estimates of civilian and military casualties. In Part II, each of these conflicts are examined in more detail, with an overview of the belligerents, means and methods of warfare, the applicable treaties and rules, and any prosecutions for, investigations into, or robust allegations of war crimes. Part III of the Report provides detailed thematic analysis of key legal developments which arose in the context of these conflicts, allowing for a more in-depth reflection on cross-cutting questions and controversies. The topics under investigation in this Report include drone strikes, the use of explosive weapons, small arms, forced displacement of civilians, detention at Guantanamo Bay, and the enforcement of international humanitarian and criminal law in both national and international courts. The Report gives a full and accessible overview of armed conflicts in 2012. It should be the first port of call for everyone working in the field.

Download or read book Gaza written by Norman Finkelstein and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2021-07-27 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gaza Strip is among the most densely populated places in the world. More than two-thirds of its inhabitants are refugees, and more than half are under eighteen years of age. Since 2004, Israel has launched eight devastating "operations" against Gaza's largely defenseless population. Thousands have perished, and tens of thousands have been left homeless. In the meantime, Israel has subjected Gaza to a merciless illegal blockade. Norman G. Finkelstein presents a meticulously researched inquest into Gaza's martyrdom. He shows that although Israel justified its assaults in the name of self-defense, in fact these actions constituted flagrant violations of international law. He also documents that the guardians of international law -- from Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch to the UN Human Rights Council -- ultimately failed Gaza.
