UK complicit in desecration of international law in Gaza, says Corbyn-led tribunal

AI Summary

long article 4 min

A tribunal led by Jeremy Corbyn and international law specialists has concluded that the UK government is complicit in Israeli crimes in Gaza and the violation of international law. The tribunal, which gathered evidence from various experts and Palestinians, focused on the UK's failure to prevent a potential genocide, particularly after a July 2024 ICJ advisory opinion. The report asserts the UK should have halted arms exports, intelligence sharing, and reviewed trade relations with Israel. It argues the UK's inaction contributed to Palestinian civilian deaths and undermined international law. The UK Foreign Office stated it has imposed sanctions related to West Bank violence and is planning to update Parliament on the ICJ advisory opinion. The tribunal's findings are expected to influence upcoming local elections.
