Archives Headlines Printer Friendly Version E-Mail This Article Published on Friday, February 20, 2004 by OneWorld.net Israel's 'Wall' Assailed by Key Civil Society Groups by Jim Lobe WASHINGTON On the eve of the World Court's opening hearing on Israel's construction of a barrier wall along the West Bank, two of the world's oldest and most influential non-governmental organizations are calling for the dismantling of those sections that cross the pre-1967 "Green Line" into occupied territory. On Thursday, Amnesty International said the barrier, which Israel refers to as a "fence," "is contributing to grave human rights violations" against Palestinian residents living within the West Bank. "Any measure Israel undertakes in the Occupied Territories in the name of security must comply with its obligations under international law," the London-based group argued. The Amnesty statement followed closely on the publication by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) of a statement calling on Israel "not to plan, construct or maintain this Barrier within occupied territory." "Where it deviates from the 'Green Line' into occupied territory, the Barrier deprives thousands of Palestinian residents of adequate access to basic services such as water, health care and education, as well as sources of income such as agriculture and other forms of employment," the Geneva-based agency said, adding that to the extent the wall deviates into occupied territory, it violates international humanitarian law (IHL).

IS ISRAEL'S DECISION TO FREE TERRORISTS A CONTRADICTION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW? by Professor Louis Beres Professor of International Law, Dept. Political Science Perdue Univsity, W. Lafayette, Ind. USA) Every state has an obligation under international law to seek out and to prosecute terrorists. This obligation derives from a long-standing principle known as Nullum crimen sine poena, "No crime without a punishment." It is codified directly in many different sources, and is also deducible from the binding Nuremberg Principles. According to Principle 1: "Any person who commits an act which constitutes a crime under international law is responsible therefore and liable to punishment." it follows that the State of Israel, now in the process of releasing large numbers of convicted terrorists, is acting in clear violation of international law. Perhaps the best way to understand the profound illegality of Israel's terrorist release policy - a policy that flies in the face of all civilized respect for law - is simply to recall the specific account of PLO terrorism found in the Tel-Oren decision. In the words of Judge Edwards: "On March 11, 1978, thirteen heavily armed members of the Palestine Liberation Organization...turned a day trip into a nightmare for 121 civilian men, women and children. the PLO terrorists landed by boat in Israel and set out on a barbaric rampage along the main highway between Haifa and Tel-Aviv. They seized a civilian bus, a taxi, a passenger car, and later a second civilian bus. They took the passengers hostage. They tortured them, short them, wounded them and murdered them. Before the Israeli police could stop the massacre, 22 adults and 12 children were killed, and 73 adults and 14 children were seriously wounded..."

Israel's Freeing of Terrorists would Violate International Law Louis Rene Beres - Professor of International Law Department of Political Science - Purdue University beres@polsci.purdue.edu Date: September 10, 1999 Once again, Palestinian terrorists who killed Israelis may be released in the cause of "peace." From the political standpoint, especially as a quid pro quo for presumed Palestine Authority (PA) concessions to Oslo/Wye River and for certain U.S. guarantees, it would appear that such release may yet take place. Yet, as a matter of law, such action would represent a very substantial and ominous wrongdoing by the State of Israel. Every state has an obligation under international law to seek out and to prosecute terrorists. This obligation derives from a long-standing principle known as Nullum crimen sine poena, "No crime without a punishment." It is codified directly in many different sources, and is also deducible from the binding Nuremberg Principles.

The human rights organizations asked the UN CERD Committee to declare the new law in grave violation of the International Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD), and to urge Israel to revoke it as well as to reconsider the current family unification policy. In its 14 August 2003 decision, the UN CERD Committee called upon Israel "to revoke this law, and reconsider its policy with a view to facilitating family unification on a non-discriminatory basis."
