Resolution of the Human Rights Council; Effective or dramatic!

According to the international group Tasnim news agency, the United Nations Human Rights Council – which has its headquarters in the city of “Geneva”, Switzerland – in its first position since the brutal attacks of the Zionist regime on the Gaza Strip, last Friday, in a resolution, selling weapons to the Zionist regime declared prohibited. This resolution called for the punishment of the Zionist regime for committing war crimes and crimes against humanity. The above resolution was then approved by the UN Human Rights Council. It was found that Pakistan submitted a draft resolution in which it demanded a ban on sending weapons to the Zionist regime, an end to the occupation of Palestinian land, and demanded that the Council fulfill its legal duties in preventing genocide in Palestine.

This resolution was approved with 28 votes in favor, 13 abstentions and 6 votes against from America, Germany, Paraguay, Malawi, Bulgaria and Argentina.

Legal actions against the Zionist regime

After the resolution passed on March 25, 2024 in the Security Council regarding the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, the resolution of April 5, 2024 Human rights is the second legal action of the UN assemblies against the Zionist regime, which was issued after 6 months of crimes in the Gaza Strip.

In addition to this In two resolutions, South Africa has also presented an indictment against the Zionist regime in the International Court of Justice on the charge of genocide in the Gaza Strip, and recently, Nicaragua filed a complaint with the International Court of Justice from Berlin due to the export of German weapons to the Zionist regime.

look at Consequences of international legal action against the Zionist regime

Generally, there is an important point about legal actions and that is that these actions They are time-consuming and you cannot expect short-term results from them. The collection of so-called court-friendly data in international courts is subject to a process of two to three years, and this issue itself prolongs the legal action. For example, regarding South Africa’s request for punishment, the only sentence presented by the International Court of Justice was to oblige the Zionist regime to preserve the evidence in the Gaza Strip regarding the genocide, and the rest of the story is being handled by the team that is collecting the evidence. It is a follow-up and it will lead to results at least in two to three years.

However, international legal action has consequences and They will have serious effects for any political structure, some of the most likely ones will be mentioned below:

Presented as guilty

The most important effect that action Rights against the Zionist regime can bring with it, introducing the Zionist regime as the culprit and the perpetrator of the crime in Palestine. The Zionist regime has committed numerous and colorful crimes in any of the wars it has created in the region, and has never accepted any of these crimes. The ruling of the international court recognizes this regime as the perpetrator of the crime and will neutralize the media projections of the West and the Zionist regime.

The issuance of a verdict in the international courts against the Zionist regime will be introduced by a reliable source to the public opinion as a criminal and guilty of the war.

Condemnation and prosecution of some characters

In the international legal process, if a sentence is issued against a country, the enforcers who carried out that sentence will be automatically prosecuted. If these people are military, there will be a possibility of their case being opened before the war crimes court, and if they are political, they will be automatically prosecuted by the international police and the courts of each country.

Obviously, if these people are prosecuted, some kind of inherent sanction will be applied against them, and until these people are arrested and brought to court, their property will be frozen internationally. became. The same consequences will await those who sell weapons to the Zionist regime in different countries.

possibility of international sanctions

if the verdict issued by If the International Court of Justice is not obeyed by a political structure, there is a possibility that it will be pursued by the United Nations in the Security Council and other international institutions, and it can punish that political structure in other areas. From this point of view, the countries that are selling weapons to the Zionist regime may be pressured in various international arenas, and some of the weapons sellers in Western countries may be in legal trouble.

Condemnation in the Human Rights Council

Every 4 years, all members of the United Nations must submit a report to the Human Rights Council of this organization regarding the situation of human rights in the geography under their control. At the time of each country’s report submission, popular institutions and other countries can ask them questions about some human rights issues, and the said country must also answer these questions at the time of submission of the report.

All the countries that have sold weapons to the Zionist regime must answer this issue when submitting a report to the Human Rights Council, and it will definitely be one of the serious challenges of these countries, but the resolution The resolution issued by the Human Rights Council against the Zionist regime regarding the ban on arms sales to the Zionist regime will leave no room for accountability, and the countries that sell arms to the Zionist regime from now on will be guilty according to this resolution and will have to wait for punishment between be international As a result, it is expected that this issue will affect the sale of weapons and military equipment to the Zionist regime.

Effectiveness of legal rulings

What in the above section It was mentioned that it was related to the consequences that any legal action, including the issuance of a resolution prohibiting the sale of arms to the Zionist regime, could bring to the arms sellers to the Zionist regime, as well as this regime. But there are two basic obstacles in the way of these legal measures and their results, which have caused to reduce the burden of additional legal pressures on the Zionist regime:

America’s support by using the “veto” tool

America, as a strategic ally of the Zionist regime, has always supported this regime. It has had full support and has never allowed this regime to be in the straits of international court rulings. A review of the history of Tel Aviv’s legal condemnations in international forums shows the fact that if a sentence is issued by the said institutions against the Zionist regime, it is often left as a sentence; Because the executive lever of international courts is the Security Council, and the Security Council has always faced the “veto” of the United States so that the Zionist regime is never condemned in the Security Council.

 Pressure of Zionist lobbies 

Next to America’s “veto” right, the Zionist lobbies have always put serious pressure on the international courts so that the legal cases of the Zionist regime do not come to a conclusion or that their judgments are not implemented. . A clear example of this issue can be seen in the “Goldstone” case. This case, which was filed against the criminal actions of the Zionist regime in the 22-day war of 2009, although it led to the condemnation of the Zionist regime, but due to the pressure placed on “Goldstone”, the judge of the case, he made his final verdict regarding the condemnation of the Zionist regime. in the war of 2009.

Furthermore, Zionist lobbies along with the countries that help this regime find ways around The law and the failure to reach the conclusion of the court cases are implemented before reaching the verdict.

In conclusion, it should be said that international legal action despite the results on paper It can bring, but it is a path that has never been successful with the tricks of Zionist lobbies. Therefore, it seems that despite the necessity of legal action and not giving up on this action, this is the only resistance option that can bring the oppressed people of the world, including the Palestinians, to their rights.
