Euro-Mediterranean: The international system failed to stop the genocide in northern Gaza
The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor said that the international system’s reluctance to take decisive decisions regarding Israel’s massacres in the Gaza Strip - especially in the north - makes it a partner in these crimes and represents a green light for Israel to proceed with escalating the crime of genocide, and also reflects a shocking disregard for the lives and dignity of the Palestinians.
The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor pointed out in a statement that the international system - including the International Criminal Court, the International Court of Justice, the European Union and various United Nations organizations - have all failed to achieve the basic goals and principles on which they were founded, and have demonstrated a shameful failure over the course of 13 months to commit to protecting civilians and stopping the crime of genocide committed by Israel against the Palestinians in Gaza, which is supposed to be at the core of its work and the reason for its existence.
The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor added that the continuation of Israeli crimes throughout the occupied Palestinian territories - especially in the Gaza Strip - indicates a structural defect in the collective security system that was established to prevent serious crimes and impose the rule of law at the global level, which makes the international system lose its credibility and reveals its fragility and farce in the face of political calculations and the influence of major countries that are partners in the genocide and opens the way for the consecration of a culture of impunity.
The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor confirmed that the international community and international justice mechanisms did not deal seriously with the crimes committed despite their seriousness and atrocity, but rather largely ignored them, while some parties limited themselves, at best, to timid statements that did not call things by their correct names, which encouraged Israel to expand those crimes with support and armament from the United States of America and a number of European countries.
