In recent weeks, Israeli ofcls have briefed journalists & foreign counterparts on a loose plan to force hundreds of thousands of #Palestinian #civilians into an area controlled by #Israel’s military close to the Gaza-Egypt border. #Legal experts have warned the plan would violate #InternationalLaw because the civilians would be barred indefinitely from returning to their homes in other parts of #Gaza, a restriction that would constitute a form of #EthnicCleansing.
Last month, the #USgovernment pledged $30 million for the group to continue operations — the first known US donation to the group, whose other funding sources remain opaque.
Journalists have been unable to access the
#GazaHumanitarianFoundation [#GHF] sites, located in #IDF controlled zones. The AP cannot independently verify the contractors’ stories.
@davidallengreen points out that when we think about how international law is faring in the current global political situation, there's a big difference between compliance & enforcement.... while (as Harold Koh famously pointed out) most countries follow international law most of the time, when a state chooses not to (or even to acknowledge its salience) we find ourselves in a world where sovereign self-restraint has (dangerously) evaporated!

International law, so it goes, is supposed to govern how nation states resolve their differences.
Analysis of US & Israel's current flouting of international law in the Middle East:
"Preventive attacks like this are clearly illegal under international law & have been over the last eighty years."

The international rules based order: not just a nice idea
The international rules based order is supposed to govern how nation states resolve their differences, but amid chaos and confusion in the middle-east are we seeing a different paradigm at play; one rule for them, another for us?Flint Duxfield (ABC listen)

Top Experts’ Backgrounder: #Military Action Against #Iran & US #Domestic #Law
With #Trump reportedly considering bringing the #UnitedStates directly into the armed conflict between #Israel & Iran, & in particular #offensive strikes against Iran’s #nuclear program, it is important to understand the #legal framework that governs whether & when a President can use military force overseas under US domestic law (…the use of force must also comport w/ #InternationalLaw…).
