INTERNATIONAL LAW - GENOCIDE IN GAZA

Detailed listings of investigated Israelis military strikes and late – breaking violations of international law.

The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights [PCHR] has released in the last few hours a tentative listing of military attacks in Gaza and the West Bank.

The report also cites specific violations of international law as:

“PCHR calls upon the international community, particularly the High Contracting Parties to the 1949 Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, to force IOF to comply with the Convention, including the prohibition of reprisals against protected persons and their property (article 33). PCHR calls also upon the High Contracting Parties to apply article 1 of the Convention, which calls for respecting the Convention and ensuring respect the Convention in all circumstances. PCHR further reminds the international community of the Hague Regulations of 1907, which prohibits military actions against civilians and civilian targets."
