The 'Goldstone Report' of September 2009 started a critical
debate at the international level. The Report raised serious
allegations of grave violations of international law with regard to
the Israeli attack on Gaza of 27 December 2008 - 18 January 2009,
amounting to possible war crimes and crimes against humanity. The
UN General Assembly and the Human Rights Council, amidst high
political pressure, endorsed the Report s recommendations, calling
for prompt and proper investigations to ensure accountability and
justice for the victims. Given the lack of proper investigations at
the national level, international justice mechanisms are now
needed. Indeed, the ICC opened a preliminary examination of the
situation but difficulties arose because of the uncertain status of
the occupied Palestinian territory. The issue of the existence of a
State of Palestine is extremely actual and still unsolved at the UN
level.
With a foreword by prof. William Schabas, the book collects
contributions by renowned international law professors as Eric
David, John Dugard, Richard Falk and many other distinguished
scholars and lawyers, and brings together for the first time
essential documentation on the 'Gaza conflict'. The underlying
question, whether there is a court for Gaza, can be seen as a test
case for international justice, and shed a light on the role of
international institutions in the difficult combination of law and
politics that connotes international justice.
Useful forall those interested in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,
such as international and criminal law scholars, and human rights
and humanitarian organizations."
