Attacks on Journalists in Gaza Violate International Law

The Hague Initiative Issues a Report Entitled “Illusion of Justice” and Affirms Israel’s Unwillingness to Investigate Genocide Crimes in Gaza.

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.
