The Hague Initiative for Law and Justice issued a human rights report entitled “Illusion of Justice,” concluding that Israel’s investigative mechanism into crimes committed in the Gaza Strip is formalistic and lacking independence, fails to meet international standards, and seeks to create a false appearance of accountability and mislead the international community, without delivering genuine justice. Based on legal analysis and documented testimonies, the report affirms that this deficiency amounts to “unwillingness” under Article 17 of the Rome Statute, thereby activating the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court to open an independent and in-depth investigation to hold those responsible for serious violations accountable.

The draft law permitting the execution of detainees violates Article 6 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), as it allows the imposition of the death penalty without judicial unanimity and relies solely on a majority decision, thereby undermining the judicial safeguards required for the application of this irreversible punishment.

The Hague Initiative for Law and Justice issued a paper warning against an Israeli draft law imposing the death penalty on Palestinian prisoners, describing it as a discriminatory measure that violates international humanitarian law and the right to life, and calling for international accountability.

With the passing of esteemed lawyer Georges-Henri Beauthier, Vice President of the International Legal Alliance, justice has lost one of its steadfast pillars and a courageous defender of human rights and Palestine. His legacy will remain a beacon for all who seek truth.

The storming of the humanitarian vessel Madrin in international waters constitutes an act of maritime piracy and a blatant violation of international and humanitarian law, revealing a systematic intent to silence any voice attempting to break Gaza’s blockade. The international community’s silence on this attack undermines trust in the law and encourages further violations.
