We Charge Nakba: Genocide of the Palestinian People and Limits of International Law
Abstract:
For eleven months and counting, the only nuclear power in the Middle East has waged a genocidal campaign against a besieged population who are predominantly refugees exiled from their homes still within eye’s view. Had international law been adequate to redress the condition of dispossession, exile, and torture, there would be no genocide today and Nakba would be a historical lesson rather than a source of contentious debate. Therefore, it should not be surprising that international law, including decisions issued from the International Court of Justice as well as arrest warrants requested from the International Criminal Court, have been unable to stem gruesome, relentless slaughter. This keynote will attempt to address this conundrum as well as the following questions: What explains this historic and contemporary insufficiency? How does the genocide in Gaza test the legitimacy, or lack thereof, of international law and legal institutions? Finally, what is the potential of existing legal frameworks and laws to meet this challenge?
