May this set a precedent for other states whose citizens are under a grave risk and who are in fact under the duty of protecting them…

Thus, Spain has become the first state to respond to the calls for protecting this civilian humanitarian initiative, which is taking on a burden that states themselves have not assumed. And at a moment when the risk of volunteers facing Israel’s naked force has significantly risen.

The most interesting one was the case filed by Mali against Algeria with no jurisdictional basis. It simply said “let’s see if the other side consents.”

So, we could just witness a rare instance of “forum prorogatum” attempt, something always tought in lectures but seldom seen in practice.

Carrying out this strike on the same day that it probably orchestrated a drone attack against a foreign vessel docked in another state’s territorial waters…

all demonstrate that Israel, under its current government, has become a state capable of assaulting the sovereignty of any state anytime.

Unlike Syria or Lebanon, whose sovereignty it had previously violated, this time targeting a country under the security protection of its own greatest ally, the United States…

Doing so on the territory of a state that has been mediating the negotiations for months…

Striking the very delegation with whom it is conducting ceasefire talks…

It also provides the clearest proof of the dire conditions that the Palestinian prisoners are subjected to.

UN Rapporteur on the OPT, Francesca Albanese joined us as the keynote speaker.

Great thanks to WOLAS, Tunis Bar Association and the Gaza Tribunal for this meaningful and timely event, and giving me the honour of moderating one of the sessions!
