#Palestine / Genocide in Gaza: Analysis of International Law and its Application to Israel’s Military Actions since October 7, 2023
The report by a coalition of human rights organizations concluded already in May 2023 that Israel's actions in Gaza since October 7, 2023, constitute genocide. The report details the killing of (then) at least 34,568 Palestinians and injury of 77,765 others, including approximately 14,500 children, representing over 5% of Gaza's population.
The report cites the destruction of up to 70% of homes and essential infrastructure, along with the displacement of 1.7 million civilians.
The authors argue that statements by Israeli leaders, coupled with the patterns of military conduct, demonstrate genocidal intent.
They call for an immediate cessation of violence and for other states to actively prevent and punish further acts of genocide.

From the executive summary:
The statement that the prohibition of genocide is a "peremptory norm" of international law means it's a fundamental principle of international law that is so fundamental and widely accepted that it cannot be violated under any circumstances. No state can lawfully disregard or deviate from this norm, even through treaty agreements or any other legal mechanism. Essentially, it sets a higher standard than typical international laws, which can sometimes be superseded or modified by agreements between nations.
