#archive Panel: Oslo and the Negation of International Law

Although the process was based on the formula of ‘land for peace’, it was clear ISR was not prepared to withdraw from the territories occupied in 1967. Because none of the documents referred to ISR as the occupying power, or the applicability of international humanitarian #law #ihl to the PAL territories.

Address by Jamal Khashoggi at MEMO’s ‘Oslo at 25' held in London on 29 September 2018.

What would be the right way to react after your country has been accused of committing #genocide?

🔹 Send aid, SAR teams and activate #emergencyresponse measures

🔹 Call on authorities to arrest wanted #warcriminals

🔹 Demand legal investigations of politicians in charge

🔹 Support independent #humanrights groups to document the crimes

🔹 Demand press freedom, deny the distribution of false claims and propaganda

🔹 Ask #medics to stand up for #ihl

Anti-personnel #landmines do not discriminate. Buried in fields, footpaths and forests, they wait silently - sometimes for decades - until someone unknowingly steps on them. The result is often catastrophic: lives lost, limbs shattered, futures altered.

The Mine Ban Treaty (Ottawa Treaty), which prohibits the use, stockpiling, and production of anti-personnel mines, has been ratified by over 160 countries.

@________juma @tagesschau Söldner sind nach Art. 47 des Ersten Zusatzprotokolls zu den Genfer Konventionen von 1977 weder Kombattanten noch Kriegsgefangene. Daher haben sie im Krieg oder nach ihrer Gefangennahme keine Privilegien und für den Umgang mit ihnen gelten nur die elementarsten (humanitären) Grundsätze (Art. 75 ZP I).
Da China nicht im Krieg mit der Ukraine ist, können Chinesen in der russischen Armee wohl nur Söldner sein. #HVR #IHL

the spectacleSusan Ville on the spectacleI was an active first responder myself, I am a journalist, have been working in the field of civil defence and research for many years. My first assignment was in 1990 during Gulf war in Syria, back then, I was in my twenties and didn't understand why the Jewish elder lady next to me said "I hate them" as we both stood at the border fence observing ISR tanks moving around. I am German, educated to be tolerant and guilty. For more than three decades I've been trying my best to explain ordinary people that political speeches have nothing to do with the reality on the ground. They read my articles, but didn't believe. After reading this morning the report of my colleague about the attack on the media tent in Gaza, I had to have a break. I lost friends and colleagues in Iraq, Syria, in the Kosovo, in Lebanon. Every media worker from Palestine I know, and who lives in the diaspora, lost a family member, or two, or more. I witnessed the suffering of the civilian population in Syria, amputated children, victims of mines and left ordnance, everywhere in the streets. I really thought, I can handle Gaza. But today I just felt sick, angry and lost. I swear to the Almighty, there will be justice for the victims. That is my only goal now. I would rather die than allowing them to get away with a genocide, another genocide committed by German helpers. No, they can't and won't destroy the foundation of civilization, basic human rights and ethical norms, it won't happen. I'm prepared for a long lasting struggle, a battle, a war, yes, but we will succeed. Thank you, Deaglan - our solid rock to cling tight on to (hope) in this ocean of darkness, waiting for the life-saving rescue ship. -- Susan P.S.

🆘 Amman – The blockade of humanitarian aid is having terrible consequences for one million #children in the #gaza strip

No aid has been allowed into the Gaza Strip since 2 March 2025 – representing the longest period of aid blockage since the start of the attacks – leading to shortages of food, safe water, shelter, and medical supplies. #ihl

The nature of Israel’s crimes in the #gaza strip must be denounced, particularly the crimes’ horrifying scope, methodical execution, and wide-ranging effects, which surpass those of armed groups like ISIS. While the crimes committed by ISIS have been widely denounced by the international community, the same community is now mostly silent—and therefore complicit—as Israel pursues a campaign of declared #genocide (...)
