Eastern Opium Draft Grants Gaza Immunity
The Euro-Mediterranean Observatory for Human Rights discusses the potential risks associated with a possible trend being developed in a draft resolution for the "Peace Council." This resolution aims to grant the council, its members, staff, and allies under its watch immunity from legal accountability in Gaza. Additionally, it would allow them to use Palestinian public facilities without compensation. The Observatory expresses concern that these arrangements could facilitate unauthorized seizure of public assets, undermine Palestinians' rights to justice and accountability, and repeat patterns of control and impunity, highlighting similar risks drawn from Iraq’s experience after 2003. It warns that measures granting broad immunities may lead to a lack of legal oversight and pose a threat to Palestinians’ right to self-determination. The Observatory calls on the international community to reject these arrangements and work to ensure justice and the transparent, legal management of public facilities, safeguarding against violations of Palestinians’ rights to property, housing, and fair compensation.
