Full original text about the Gaza Tribunal
Gaza represents a breaking point in the historical journey of humanity, where a global system based on power, not justice, prevails.
We are witnessing the total failure of the organised international community to implement international law in the most severe, visible case of genocide in real time.
The Gaza Tribunal is an effort [by civil society to exert] pressure on governments to act. The tribunal can also be seen as one symbolic battleground in the legitimacy war that has been ongoing for more than a century between Israel and Palestine.
The Tribunal contributes to the legitimisation of an alternative paradigm of international law, one that derives its authority from people and their sense of justice rather than relying solely on governments and their institutions.
