HRC56: ICJ Statement on OPT-Israel Report

As the UN HRC56 has just discussed today the report of the Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestine Territory (OPT) and Israel, the ICJ commends this report that concludes that Israeli authorities, members of the Israel Defense Forces and Palestinian armed groups, as well as some Palestinian civilians, committed serious crimes under international law, including sexual and gender-based violence, in Israel and the Gaza Strip on and since 7 October 2023. Furthermore, the ICJ deplores the complete disregard for relevant UN Security Council’s resolutions and orders of the International Court of Justice.
