The UN have issued a statement on arms exports to Israel that neither they, nor their suppliers will like one tiny bit! Right, so the United Nations have issued a press release which makes for rather interesting reading, on the matter of arms exports to Israel. Of course we know from the International Court of Justice case that South Africa brought against Israel that there is now a plausible case for genocide having been demonstrated, still to be judged on the merits of their case, but given the interim orders handed down by the ICJ on Israel back on January 26th, and given that Israel have not followed any of them, indeed have arrogantly boasted that they will take no notice of them, it is pretty clear that they are violating international law and don’t care who calls it out, because they’ll just turn around to their accusers and infer they are terrorist sympathisers and antisemites, because it is what they always do. So the UN, which the ICJ is of course a branch of, have issued a statement that every country still supplying arms to Israel really ought to sit up and take notice of. Right, so Israel and those provisional orders that the International Court of Justice laid down last month. Israel said they’d ignore them and it seems they very much have. Israel have until Monday to report to the ICJ on what they’ve done to meet the terms of this legal ruling and well, it doesn’t look like they are too bothered to send anything in. But it isn’t so much what Israel are not doing right now that is at the crux of this new United Nations statement, but those aiding and abetting them, those providing Israel with weapons, because this statement is a none too subtle shot across their bows to reconsider what such nations are doing. This statement has come from the OHCHR, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, which has basically demanded arms sales to Israel stop immediately. The UN telling all nations selling arms to Israel cease with immediate effect. Here’s part of what it says: ‘Any transfer of weapons or ammunition to Israel that would be used in Gaza is likely to violate international humanitarian law and must cease immediately, UN experts warned today. “All States must ‘ensure respect’ for international humanitarian law by parties to an armed conflict, as required by 1949 Geneva Conventions and customary international law,” the experts said. “States must accordingly refrain from transferring any weapon or ammunition – or parts for them – if it is expected, given the facts or past patterns of behaviour, that they would be used to violate international law.” “Such transfers are prohibited even if the exporting State does not intend the arms to be used in violation of the law – or does not know with certainty that they would be used in such a way – as long as there is a clear risk,” they said. Over 29,313 Palestinians have been killed and 69,333 injured in Gaza since 7 October 2023, the majority being women and children. “Israel has repeatedly failed to comply with international law,” the experts said... ***Subscribe to the channel here*** ►ABOUT ME: Hi, I'm Damien Willey.
