al jazeeraMajed Bamya, Palestine’s deputy UN representative, has said that recent international diplomatic and legal efforts are important, even if they have not yet led to an immediate ceasefire.
“Invoking the genocide convention … is part of an important and decisive shift that has been in the making for a long time [and] is long overdue. The massacres have not stopped but it is yet important,” Bamya said in a social media post.
“We are not dealing with a law-abiding state,” Bamya added. “Israel violates binding law, binding Security Council resolutions, binding international court decisions, binding treaties.”
“And yet these are building blocks that have helped defeat the Israeli narrative and isolate the Israeli position,” he said.
Last week, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued an interim ruling ordering Israel to take action to prevent acts of genocide in Gaza.
The UN Security Council (UNSC) is set to discuss the ICJ’s ruling on Wednesday this week, following a request from Algeria.
On November 15 last year, the UNSC adopted a resolution calling for “urgent and extended humanitarian pauses” before Israel and Hamas agreed to a seven-day pause beginning on November 24.
