BREAKING NEWS UK WARNED IT IS BREAKING INTERNATIONAL LAW BY ARMING ISRAEL
April 4, 2024HE UK IS BEING HELD TO ACCOUNT BY ITS OWN PEOPLE!
Three former Supreme Court justices, are among over 600 lawyers and academics who have signed a 17-page letter warning the present situation in Gaza is “catastrophic”.
The letter warns that – “given the International Court of Justice’s opinion that there is a plausible risk of genocide – the UK government is LEGALLY OBLIGED to act in preventing it.”
“While we welcome the increasingly robust calls by your government for a cessation of fighting and the unobstructed entry to Gaza of humanitarian assistance, simultaneously to continue… the sale of weapons and weapons systems to Israel… falls significantly short of your government’s obligations under international law.”
The government has been facing growing calls to suspend arms exports to Israel after three British aid workers were killed in an airstrike this week.
The letter called for funding to be restored to the aid agency UNRWA, which was withdrawn amid allegations staff had participated in the 7 October attack orchestrated by Hamas.
And it said that “serious action” is needed to “avoid UK complicity in grave breaches of international law, including potential violations of the Genocide Convention”.
THIS IS A WIN FOR JUSTICE!
We MUST hold our governments to account!
International law was created for a reason.
NO ONE is BEYOND it!

المملكة المتحدة تخضع للمحاسبة على يد شعبها!
وقّع ثلاثة قضاة سابقين في المحكمة العليا، هم من بين أكثر من 600 محام وأكاديمي على رسالة من 17 صفحة تحذر من أن الوضع الحالي في غزة “كارثي”. وتحذر الرسالة أيضًا من أنه “نظرًا لرأي محكمة العدل الدولية بأن يوجد خطرًا معقولًا بوقوع إبادة جماعية ، فإن حكومة المملكة المتحدة ملزمة قانونًا بالتحرك لمنع ذلك”.
“بينما نرحب بالدعوات القوية المتزايدة من جانب حكومتكم لوقف القتال ودخول المساعدات الإنسانية دون عائق إلى غزة، في الوقت نفسه لمواصلة…بيع الأسلحة وأنظمة الأسلحة لإسرائيل… تقع ضمن التزاماتكم بموجب القانون الدولي”.
وتواجه الحكومة دعوات متزايدة لتعليق صادرات الأسلحة إلى إسرائيل بعد مقتل ثلاثة عمال إغاثة بريطانيين في غارة جوية هذا الأسبوع. ودعت الرسالة إلى إعادة التمويل لوكالة الغوث الأونروا، والذي سُحب وسط مزاعم بأن موظفيها شاركوا في هجوم 7 تشرين الأول/أكتوبر الذي شنّته حماس.
وقالت أن توجد حاجة إلى اتخاذ “إجراءات جدية” “لتجنب تواطؤ المملكة المتحدة في الانتهاكات الجسيمة للقانون الدولي، بما في ذلك الانتهاكات المحتملة لاتفاقية الإبادة الجماعية.
هذا انتصار للعدالة!
يجب أن نحاسب حكوماتنا! لقد أُنشأ القانون الدولي لسبب ما ولا أحد يتجاوزه!

English Script:
Mari Aurora: In breach of international law and at risk of complicity in possible genocide, that’s according to the warning directed at the Prime Minister should the UK continue to grant export licenses to arms to Israel? Signed by three former Supreme Court Justices among 600 signatories of the legal caution. The letter says “while we welcome the increasingly robust cause by your government for a cessation of fighting and the unobstructed entry to Gaza of humanitarian assistance the sales of weapons and weapon systems to Israel and to maintain threats of suspending UK Aid to UNRWA falls significantly short of your government’s obligations under international law”. The Prime Minister says the UK has a careful export license regime.
Rishi Sunak: I spoke to Prime Minister Netanyahu last night and was very clear with him that the situation is increasingly intolerable and what we urgently need to see is a thorough transparent investigation into what has happened, but also a dramatic increase in the amount of aid getting into Gaza, removing the barriers.
Mari Aurora: But the 17-page open letter piles further pressure on Rishi sunak after the deaths of three British aid workers: John Chapman, James Henderson and James Kirby. They were among seven volunteers killed in an Israeli airstrike on Monday night, an act which Drew International condemnation and devastation of family members.
Adam Macguire: I just hope this is a turning point in the world now and and what’s happening in Gaza. I don’t want to make a political thing of it but we just hope that world leaders can get together and help these people.
Mari Aurora: The Prime Minister now demanding an independent investigation into Israel’s actions on Monday. But this letter from some of the country’s top legal minds will only serve to ratchet up the pressure already mounting on the Prime Minister. Mari Aurora, Sky News
