Prof. Fionnuala Ní Aoláin Quoted by Middle East Monitor About Possible Violations of International Law in Gaza Strip
Professor Fionnuala Ní Aoláin, former United Nations special rapporteur, was quoted by the Middle East Monitor in which she reiterated her “grave concerns” about violations of international law in the ongoing Israeli aggression in response to the attacks by Hamas. She said, “there is serious concern about violations of the rules of war and I — like many others, including the Secretary-General [António Guterres] — have been very clear that international law applies. This is not a lawless zone. No matter how serious the violence committed by a non-state armed group may be, the response must be legal.”
