US EditionMore than 350 lawyers and academics say Government not complying with international law obligations over Palestine crisis
- On Thursday, a large group of legal professionals and scholars sent a letter to the Taoiseach and Tánaiste criticizing the Government for failing to fulfill its international legal responsibilities concerning the crisis in Palestine.
- The letter cites Israel's unlawful presence and severe breaches of international law in the Occupied Palestinian Territories as the cause of these obligations and criticizes delays on the Occupied Territories Bill.
- Signatories including law professors and legal leaders demand urgent adoption of domestic legislation and a review of trade relations, bonds, and the EU-Israel Association Agreement to prevent aid to unlawful actions.
- They express "deep concern" over the Government's inaction and call for pressing with "even greater urgency" to ensure compliance with international law and avoid contributing to Israel’s unlawful settlement activities.
- The letter warns that without rapid action, Ireland will continue failing its obligations while urging stronger support for international bodies facing attacks and sanction amid persistent human rights violations in Palestine.
