>> This week, more than 25 states from around the world will gather in Bogotá, Colombia, for the “Emergency Conference” to halt the Gaza genocide: the most ambitious multilateral response since Israel began its campaign of devastation two years ago.

>> “The Bogotá conference will go down as the moment in history that states finally stood up to do the right thing,” said UN Special Rapporteur #FrancescaAlbanese, calling the formation of The Hague Group the “most significant political development of the last 20 months.”

>> Jointly convened by Colombia and South Africa, The Hague Group’s Co-Chairs, the conference brings together states far beyond the boundaries of the Group — from Algeria to Brazil, China to Spain, Indonesia to Qatar — “to move from condemnation to collective action,” in the words of Colombian President Gustavo Petro…

Israel’s Plan for Concentration Camp in Gaza Constitutes a War Crime [acc. to "16 Israeli experts in international law and the laws of war"] | Communist Party of Israel (2025-07-12)

https://maki.org.il/en/?p=32825
------

>> ... the plans presented by Israel’s defense establishment to expel the population of Gaza in a “humanitarian city”. This concentration camp constitutes a blatantly illegal order, 16 Israeli experts in international law and the laws of war warned Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz and the Israel army chief of staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir in a public letter issued Friday. In the letter, the experts warned that implementation of the plan would constitute a war crime and a crime against humanity. They said that under certain conditions, it could also be considered genocide. “We call on all relevant parties to publicly withdraw from the plan, renounce it and refrain from carrying it out,” they wrote.

>> The Israeli military has refused to carry out a plan to confine ... people in a new “humanitarian city” in Gaza, after senior officers objected and reservists said it would be a war crime.

>> The office of Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, ... said that the military’s duties did not involve forcibly moving civilians either within or out of the Gaza Strip...

>> ... actively resisted ... a group of dissenting Israeli reservist soldiers, who argued in a petition to the country’s supreme court that forced population expulsions by troops could be a violation of international law.

>> “Relocating and concentrating an entire population is ... a war crime. Framing it in humanitarian language does not change the nature of this crime,” said Yotam Vilk, a reservist officer who served in Gaza and is part of Soldiers for the Hostages ...

Israel enforcing Gaza evacuations with grenade-firing drones: The Israeli army is weaponizing Chinese-made drones to police expulsion orders across Gaza, with soldiers saying they deliberately target civilians so others will ‘learn’ not to return ... (+972 Magazine, 2025-07-10)

https://www.972mag.com/drones-grenades-gaza-chinese-autel/
------

>> According to interviews with seven soldiers and officers who served in the Strip, these drones are operated manually by troops on the ground, and are frequently used to bomb Palestinian civilians — including children — in an effort to force them to leave their homes or prevent them from returning to evacuated areas.

>> Soldiers most commonly use EVO drones, produced by the Chinese company Autel, which are primarily intended for photography ... However, with a military-issued attachment known internally as an “iron ball,” a hand grenade can be affixed to the drone and dropped with the push of a button to detonate on the ground...

>> Rights experts slammed the US sanctions against Albanese. Dylan Williams, vice-president for government affairs at the Center for International Policy thinktank, labeled them as “rogue state behavior” while Amnesty International said special rapporteurs must be supported and not sanctioned.

>> “Governments around the world and all actors who believe in the rule-based order and international law must do everything in their power to mitigate and block the effect of the sanctions against Francesca Albanese and more generally to protect the work and independence of Special Rapporteurs,” Agnes Callamard, Amnesty International’s secretary general and a former UN special rapporteur herself, said.

>> Naval blockades are not automatically illegal. … a blockade may be used in wartime, but only if five legal conditions are met:

• it must be formally declared and publicly notified
• it must be effectively enforced in practice
• it must be applied impartially to all ships
• it must not block access to neutral ports or coastlines
• it must not stop the delivery of humanitarian aid to civilians.

>> If even one of these conditions is not met, the blockade may be considered illegal under customary international humanitarian law.

4/4 ‘Madleen’ Responds to Mayday for Refugees at Sea

The individuals rescued had fled violence and persecution in Sudan, only to face further violence, detention, and torture in Libya. They must be brought to a safe country where they can seek asylum—a country that upholds its international obligations, including the principle of non-refoulement.

Rima Hassan, a Member of the European Parliament aboard the Madleen stated: “We denounce the European Union’s role in obstructing the movement of asylum seekers, in clear violation of international law—an approach that has led to the deaths of tens of thousands and turned the Mediterranean into a graveyard.”

The crew of the Madleen is in communication with Search and Rescue NGOs, who are advising and assisting them, while calling on the Greek, Italian, and Maltese authorities to urgently fulfill their legal obligation to organize a safe rescue and transshipment of the refugees on board to safety in Europe.

3/n ‘Madleen’ Responds to Mayday for Refugees at Sea

... Concern mounted that they would forcibly return the refugees to Libya, in violation of international law. The Madleen‘s crew warned them not to do so, but the Libyan authorities did not respond.

To avoid being taken by the Libyan authorities, four people jumped into the sea and began desperately swimming towards the Madleen. The crew then issued a mayday for itself, calling for urgent assistance, but other vessels remained too far away. The Madleen’s crew rescued the four from the water.

Under international law, the principle of non-refoulement prohibits returning anyone to a country—whether or not it is their country of origin—if they would face a real risk to their life, freedom, or personal safety there. The crew has a moral and legal duty to protect those rescued at sea, especially when they are fleeing grave danger.

2/n ‘Madleen’ Responds to Mayday for Refugees at Sea

Upon approach, the Madleen‘s crew saw that the boat was rapidly deflating, with approximately 30–40 people on board. Given the time-critical nature of the situation, they launched a rescue Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB). While the rescue effort was underway, another vessel approached at high speed. Initially assuming it to be Egyptian––as they were in the Egyptian search and rescue zone––the crew held back, urging the vessel to assist without carrying out a forcible return to Libya, where refugees face detention, abuse, and torture, or transfer to Egypt, which is also not considered safe for asylum seekers.

As the vessel drew closer and sounded an alarm, crew members on the Madleen identified it as a Libyan Coast Guard vessel—the Tareq Bin Zayed, known for grave human rights violations and involvement in previous unlawful pullbacks of asylum seekers...
