'Cloak of Legality' - UN Rights Expert Slams Israel’s 'Decades of Impunity' - Palestine Chronicle
UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and Counterterrorism- Australian, Professor Ben Saul.
'“I think one of the striking features of the last 14 months is how Israel has used counterterrorism rhetoric to justify exceptional, extreme violence against Palestinians accompanied by a chronic dehumanization of the Palestinian people.”..
UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and Counterterrorism, Professor Ben Saul, has said that Israel “has enjoyed impunity for many decades which has emboldened it to become increasingly lawless.” “And this last campaign in Gaza is unprecedented in the history of warfare in recent years,” he warned, at a joint UN press conference of independent human rights experts in Geneva on Wednesday.
..Saul added, “which I don’t think has been explored quite so much, is just how Israel has enabled this violence by taking very extreme exceptional interpretations of international humanitarian law to impose a kind of cloak of legality on what they’re doing.
'The special rapporteur noted that “Germany & the United States supply 99% of the weapons exported to Israel. They could stop this conflict overnight if they stopped the weapons that kill the Palestinians.”'
