IGNORING THE UNITED NATION OR SHUTTING IT DOWN.....

 

The release of a new, draft Special Report from the UN Rapporteur for Palestine (officially, “the UN Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967”) should have been headline news around the world. Regrettably—and unsurprisingly—it was not.

The report, entitled “Gaza Genocide is a Collective Crime,” is summarized as follows:

“The ongoing genocide in Gaza is a collective crime, sustained by the complicity of influential Third States that have enabled longstanding systemic violations of international law by Israel. Framed by colonial narratives that dehumanize the Palestinians, this live-streamed atrocity has been facilitated through Third States’ direct support, material aid, diplomatic protection and, in some cases, active participation. It has exposed an unprecedented chasm between peoples and their governments, betraying the trust on which global peace and security rest.”

The summary concludes:

“The world now stands on a knife-edge between the collapse of the international rule of law and hope for renewal. Renewal is only possible if complicity is confronted, responsibilities are met and justice is upheld.”

The report states that the complicit nations’ “disregard for international law undermines the foundations of the multilateral order painstakingly built over eight decades by States and people within the United Nations.”

Many observers have concluded the same thing. The open disregard for international law and human decency reflects the ongoing collapse of the 20^th-century world order, with increasingly catastrophic results.

The report adds, “This will stand in history as an offence not only to justice, but to the very idea of our common humanity.”

Indeed.

Another important aspect of the report is the way it highlights the complicity of many Arab and Muslim nations in the genocide of Palestinians, despite their professions of solidarity. While it correctly notes that “Many States, primarily Western ones, have facilitated, legitimized and eventually normalized the genocidal campaign perpetrated by Israel,” this betrayal is evident throughout the report.
