The rise of the international community to confront the Zionist regime
The crimes of the Zionist regime in the Gaza Strip, after stirring up the world public opinion, have now led the international institutions to issue legal rulings against this regime. |
According to the international group Tasnim news agency, in the last week, 3 serious legal actions against the regime Zionism has taken place in international legal courts. These legal measures, apart from the consequences they will have on the Zionist regime in the future, show that the crimes of this regime have led all awake consciences to confront it and prevent the increasing killing and massacre of Palestinians.
The Second Action of the International Court of Justice
On Friday, June 4, 1403 (May 24, 2024), the International Court of Justice, in a ruling based on South Africa’s petition, in a state of emergency, required the Zionist regime to immediately stop military operations in the Rafah region, in the south of the Gaza Strip. made This sentence is the second order issued by the International Court of Justice against the Zionist regime in the first half of 2024. /p>
The International Court of Justice – which is also called the World Court – is the highest legal body of the United Nations, which was established in 1945 at the same time as the United Nations It was established to resolve conflicts between governments. This court should not be confused with the International Criminal Court, which is also known as the War Crimes Court. In the International Criminal Court, petitions are filed against individuals and judgments are issued for committing criminal acts, especially in wars.
The current ruling concerns the International Court of Justice, which deals with border conflicts between states and violations of UN treaties. The jury of this court consists of 15 judges, and in the case of the Zionist regime, due to the fact that a judge from South Africa is present on the jury as a petitioner, a judge from the Zionist regime has also been added to it.
In 1948, the Zionist regime and South Africa joined the treaty to prevent genocide. This treaty obliges all member states not only not to commit genocide, but also to prevent genocide and to punish the government that commits genocide. The definition of “genocide” in the said treaty is to carry out acts with the intention of total or partial destruction of a national group, an ethnicity, a race or a religious group.
This issue gives the International Court of Justice jurisdiction over disputes covered by this treaty. South Africa’s initial complaint against the Zionist regime, which was made in January, pointed to the killing of Palestinians in Gaza, the physical and mental torture and the creation of conditions aimed at destruction and killing, which focused on preventing the basic needs of food, It focused on water, medicine, fuel and shelter and the attacks that killed nearly 36,000 Palestinians.
On May 16, 2024 South Africa called for an end to the attack on the Rafah area, as nearly half of Gaza’s 2.3 million people had sought refuge in this area after military operations in the north. South Africa demanded the complete withdrawal of the Zionist regime from the Gaza Strip. The court required the Zionist regime to immediately stop the military attack in Rafah and open the Rafah crossing for humanitarian aid. In addition to announcing that he will send an investigation team to present a report. combine it with an executive lever, therefore, the rulings issued in this court mostly remain at the level of recommendations, it only tarnishes the image of the Zionist regime in public opinion, and registers a legal precedent for this regime.
Amnesty International’s request to the International Criminal Court
Amnesty International is one of the organizations under the United Nations. On Monday, June 7, 1403 (May 27, 2024), this organization asked the International Criminal Court to conduct an independent investigation regarding the 3 Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip. and issue separate rulings regarding them. In the description of the 3 incidents, Amnesty International has mentioned that 44 Palestinians were martyred in these 3 attacks, 32 of whom were children. The mentioned attacks are: the attack that was carried out on April 16, 2024 on the “Al-Maghazi” camp and the attacks that took place on April 19 and 20, 2024 in Rafah. In this regard, Erica Guevara Rojas, the representative of Amnesty International, stated that Amnesty International has undeniable evidence and proofs regarding these illegal attacks. This organization interviewed 17 people who survived those massacres and documented their statements with pictures. “Al-Maghazi” camp was attacked while children were playing in a street and 10 children aged 4 to 15 and 5 men were martyred.
In the April 19 attack on the house of the Abu Rezwan family, 9 members of the family of this retired Palestinian man, 6 of whom were children, were killed by a rocket.
In the April 20 air attack on the house of the “Abd al-Aal” family, in the east of Rafah, 20 people were martyred, 16 of them were children and 4 were women.
Action in the International Criminal Court can prosecute the authorities of the Zionist regime in 124 member countries of the Geneva Convention. This issue has greatly worried the Zionists because most of the supporters of the Zionist regime in the West are among these 124 countries and they will actually be a real danger for the Zionist authorities.
In short, it should be said that out of the 4 actions that have been taken against the Zionist regime in international legal courts since January 2024, two actions of the International Criminal Court – if they come to an end – can cause restrictions. For Netanyahu and Yoav Galant to become the Minister of War of the Zionist regime. This same limitation can also lose its effect by ignoring the member states of the Geneva Convention.
The actions of the International Court of Justice are also as It was pointed out that they do not have an executive lever, they only have a recommendation form. This is despite the fact that the decision to commit “genocide” by the Zionist regime in Gaza itself is a time-consuming process that may even last a decade.
These two measures could be effective if their implementation is followed by the UN Security Council. Where the United States has vetoed and prevented any action against the Zionist regime. Therefore, it must be said that legal actions will not have a significant field result for the Zionists, but it will damage their image.
But at this point, Despite being aware of the ineffectiveness of international legal measures, we have witnessed 3 legal actions against the Zionist regime in one week. It shows that the crimes of the Zionist regime have brought the global public opinion to the brink of explosion, and now everyone is using any means to stop it. The killing machine of this regime has come to the field to confront this regime. This period can be the best opportunity for a global movement against the regime in a way that either brings this regime closer to its collapse or provides the means to remove the possibility of crimes of this magnitude from this regime in the future.
