By documenting systematic deprivations of food, water, and healthcare, along with the mass destruction of Gaza and its inhabitants, the report draws a direct link between these actions and a deliberate policy originating from the highest levels of the Israeli state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Amnesty highlights a&nbsp;<strong>troubling convergence between the statements of Israeli officials<\/strong>, marked by&nbsp;<strong>explicit dehumanisation<\/strong>&nbsp;of Palestinians, and videos of soldiers echoing genocidal chants on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Amnesty's report builds on a series of documents and declarations issued by international bodies. As early as March 2024, the UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in the occupied territories&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/daccess-ods.un.org\/access.nsf\/Get?OpenAgent&amp;DS=A\/79\/384&amp;Lang=F\">indicated&nbsp;<\/a>reasonable grounds to believe that acts of genocide had been committed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">In November 2023, the FIDH adopted a resolution denouncing an ongoing genocide. That same month, UN Special Rapporteurs&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/en\/press-releases\/2023\/11\/gaza-un-experts-call-international-community-prevent-genocide-against\">called on the international community<\/a>&nbsp;to act urgently to prevent genocide, emphasizing the severity of the situation. Subsequently, the ICJ also addressed the plausibility of such acts in its&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.icj-cij.org\/sites\/default\/files\/case-related\/192\/192-20240126-ord-01-00-fr.pdf\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">provisional<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icj-cij.org\/sites\/default\/files\/case-related\/192\/192-20240126-ord-01-00-fr.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&nbsp;<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icj-cij.org\/sites\/default\/files\/case-related\/192\/192-20240126-ord-01-00-fr.pdf\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">measures<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icj-cij.org\/sites\/default\/files\/case-related\/192\/192-20240126-ord-01-00-fr.pdf\">&nbsp;<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icj-cij.org\/sites\/default\/files\/case-related\/192\/192-20240126-ord-01-00-fr.pdf\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">order<\/a>&nbsp;in the case brought by South Africa against Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The qualification of&nbsp;<strong>genocide carries significant political and legal consequences<\/strong>. Its imposes a&nbsp;<strong>legal obligation on all states to prevent such acts<\/strong>, including prohibiting any form of assistance and implementing active measures to halt the continuation of genocidal actions, as emphasized in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.icj-cij.org\/sites\/default\/files\/case-related\/186\/186-20240719-adv-01-00-frc.pdf\">ICJ's advisory opinion<\/a>&nbsp;in July 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">On the judicial level, the ICC Prosecutor's office&nbsp;<strong>could rely on Amnesty's evidence to issue new arrest warrants<\/strong>, while the ICJ could use these reports as credible evidence to establish facts and demonstrate state intent, particularly in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.icj-cij.org\/case\/192\">case brought by South Africa against Israel.<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, this report&nbsp;<strong>could help break the taboo surrounding the use of the terme 'genocide\"<\/strong>, fostering a significant shift in legal and political discourse, similar to the ICJ's 2024 recognition of apartheid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, it serves as <strong>a counterweight and a form of political pressure<\/strong> in the face of <a href=\"https:\/\/lanouvelletribune.info\/2024\/06\/cpi-des-elus-americains-votent-pour-des-sanctions-apres-laffaire-netanyahou\/\">potential U.S. sanctions targeting the ICC<\/a>\u00a0and those collaborating with it, highlighting the growing tensions between international justice and certain state actors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dans un rapport publi\u00e9 le 5 d\u00e9cembre 2024,&nbsp;Amnesty International&nbsp;&nbsp;\u00e9tablit que&nbsp;les autorit\u00e9s isra\u00e9liennes commettent un g\u00e9nocide contre la population palestinienne de Gaza.
