In fact, the latter has sought, since the beginning of its heinous violations in Gaza, to kill journalists by systematically targeting them and their workplaces in an effort to impose a broad media blackout on the entire sector. http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1076&cid=148 Recommendations by Int’l rights groups condemning Gaza’s horrific genocide With the participation of human rights activists and civil society organizations from several countries, Insan Organisation for Rights & Liberties has organized an international webinar to discuss the humanitarian situation in Gaza, in light of the continued aggression against besieged Gaza and the worsening humanitarian and rights crisis. http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1075&cid=148 181 Organización de derechos humanos exige una sesión urgente de la Asamblea General Sobre la base de la decisión "Unidos pro Paz" y la formación de una Corte Penal Internacional Especial Desde el 7 de octubre, el Estado ocupante y del apartheid libra una guerra sin controles ni restricciones legales y morales, a través de la cual comete diversos tipos de crímenes internacionales, y no duda en utilizar las  armas internacionalmente prohibidas en su poder. No le importan los principios básicos del derecho internacional humanitario ni del derecho internacional  de los derechos humanos, y los quebranta cada día más. Sus flagrantes violaciones del derecho internacional son indiferentes a cualquier principio o norma imperativa internacional. Por otro lado, nos encontramos  con que los Estados Unidos de América participan en la agresión enviando su flota y sus soldados a la región, y la Unión Europea también alienta la agresión recurriendo a un silencio ensordecedor e inaceptable sobre los crímenes cometidos por Israel tanto desde el punto de vista jurídico como moral. Además, el Consejo de Seguridad;  a pesar de las graves violaciones del derecho internacional público, la Carta de las Naciones Unidas, los derechos humanos y el derecho internacional humanitario que constituyen una amenaza a la paz y la seguridad internacionales; está paralizado e incapaz de cumplir con sus responsabilidades estipuladas en la Carta de las Naciones Unidas. http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1073&cid=148 Organizzazioni in difesa dei diritti umani richiedono una sessione urgente dell’Assemblea generale dell’Onu In base alla decisione “Unirsi per la Pace” e per la formazione di una Corte penale internazionale straordinaria Dal 7 di ottobre, lo Stato di occupazione e apartheid conduce una guerra senza controlli o restrizioni legali e morali, commettendo molteplici crimini internazionali senza esitare nell’utilizzo di armi vietate dalla legge internazionale. Dimostra un flagrante disprezzo dei principi fondamentali del diritto umanitario internazionale e dei diritti umani internazionali, con violazioni giornaliere. Le sue gravi violazioni del diritto internazionale ignorano qualsiasi principio o regola internazionale. In questa situazione, gli Stati uniti d’America sostengono l’aggressione con l’invio della sua flotta militare nella regione; inoltre, l’Unione europea incoraggia l’aggressione scegliendo un silenzio assordante al riguardo dei crimini di Israele, inaccettabile sia dal punto di vista legale che morale. Il Consiglio di Sicurezza, a sua volta, rimane paralizzato e incapace di adoperare le sue responsabilità istituzionali nonostante le gravi violazioni del diritto pubblico internazionale, la Carta delle Nazione Unite, i diritti umani, e la giurisprudenza internazionale umanitaria; le quali minano chiaramente alla pace e sicurezza internazionale. http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1072&cid=148 181 Menschenrechtsorganisation fordert eine Dringlichkeitssitzung der Generalversammlung auf der Grundlage des "Uniting for Peace"-Beschlusses und der Einrichtung eines internationalen Sonderstrafgerichtshofs Seit dem siebten Oktober führt der Besatzungs- und Apartheidstaat einen Krieg ohne rechtliche und moralische Kontrollen oder Einschränkungen, in dem er verschiedene Arten von internationalen Verbrechen begeht und nicht zögert, die international verbotenen Waffen in seinem Besitz einzusetzen. Er schert sich nicht um die Grundprinzipien des humanitären Völkerrechts und der internationalen Menschenrechtsnormen und stellt sie jeden Tag aufs Neue auf die Probe. Seine groben Verstöße gegen das Völkerrecht sind gleichgültig gegenüber allen zwingenden internationalen Grundsätzen und Regeln. http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1071&cid=148 181 Une organisation de défense des droits de l\'homme demande une session d\'urgence de l\'Assemblée générale des Nations Unies sur la base de la décision "S\'unir pour la paix", et la formation d\'un Tribunal Pénal International Spécial Depuis le 7 octobre, l'Etat d'occupation et d'apartheid mène une guerre sans règles ni restrictions légales ou morales, et commet, ce faisant, toutes sortes de crimes internationaux, n'hésitant pas à utiliser ce qu’il a à sa portée comme armes (internationalement) prohibées. Il ne se soucie pas des principes fondamentaux du droit humanitaire international ni de la Charte Universelle des Droits de l’Homme, et, jour après jour, il s’enfonce dans des violations graves du droit international humanitaire et de la Charte Universelle des Droits de l’Homme, sans s’encombrer d’un quelconque principe, ni d’une règle impérative du droit international. http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1070&cid=148 181 Human Rights Organization Demands an Urgent Session of the General Assembly On the Basis of the “Uniting for Peace” Decision and the Formation of a Special International Criminal Court Since the seventh of October, the occupying and apartheid state has been waging a war without legal and moral controls or restrictions, through which it commits various types of international crimes, and does not hesitate to use the internationally prohibited weapons in its possession. It does not care about the basic principles of international humanitarian law and international human rights law, and examines it more and more every day. Its gross violations of international law are indifferent to any international peremptory principle or rule. http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1069&cid=148 111 Organisationen der Zivilgesellschaft fordern den Schutz der palästinensischen Bevölkerung, ein Ende der Belagerung des Gazastreifens und die Freilassung aller Gefangenen.

Cela s’inscrit dans le contexte de la poursuite du siège imposé à la bande de Gaza depuis plus de seize ans. http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1065&cid=148 111 Civil society organizations call for Protecting the Palestinian people, ending the siege on Gaza, and releasing all prisoners The civil society organizations, institutions and coalitions that signed this statement denounce the war crimes committed by the army of the occupying state and apartheid against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip, such as killings, bombing, and destruction of homes, residential towers, and civil institutions, preventing the entry of fuel and goods, and cutting off electricity to the Gaza Strip.
