About [Edit]
The
recent war waged by the Israeli government and the Israeli army on the
Gaza strip, already under a blockade, underlines the particular
responsibility of the United States and of the European Union in the
perpetuation of the injustice done to the Palestinian people, deprived
of its fundamental rights.
Through
a decentralised functioning, the organisation of public sessions and
other public events, the organisation of a Russell Tribunal on
Palestine is designed as a large communication event, with widespread
media coverage over the tribunal and its outcomes. Indeed, the Russell
Tribunal on Palestine having no official mandate, its impact rests on
its ability to mobilise public opinion, so that the latter puts
pressure on governments to obtain that they change their policies in
the ways that are necessary to reach a just and lasting peace in the
Middle East.
It is important to mobilize the international public opinion so that the United Nations and Member States adopt the necessary
measures to end the impunity of the Israeli State, and to reach a just and durable solution to this conflict.
Following an appeal from Ken Coates,
Nurit Peled, and
Leila Shahid, and with the
support of over a hundred well-known international personalities, it has been decided to
organise a Russell Tribunal on Palestine.
Based
on the Opinion of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued on
the 9th of July 2004 and on the relevant resolutions of the United
Nations Organisation, this Russell Tribunal on Palestine is a civic
initiative promoting international law as the core element of the
Israeli-Palestinian issue.
Further
than Israel’s responsibility, it aims to demonstrate the complicity of
Third States and International Organisations which, through their
passivity or active support, allow Israel to violate the rights of the
Palestinian People, and let this situation be continued and aggravated.
The next step will then be to establish how this complicity results in international responsibilities.
