UN experts: Israel’s violation of international law must have consequences

GAZA, Dec. 31 (YPA) – “Israel” must face the consequences of its campaign to undermine the legal framework for the protection of civilians in armed conflicts, a group of independent human rights experts said in a statement on Monday.

The UN experts highlighted that Israeli attacks on Gaza and the ongoing forcible displacement of Palestinians continue, noting that “Israel” has weakened the legal framework designed to protect civilians in armed conflicts.

The statement pointed out that the occupying entity has repeatedly defied international law by inflicting maximum suffering on civilians in the occupied Palestinian territories and beyond.

It stressed that Israel is committing crimes against humanity, including murder, torture, sexual violence, and repeated forced displacement amounting to forcible transfer, war crimes encompassing indiscriminate attacks on civilians and civilian objects, including objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population and educational institutions.
