During the bombardment and invasion of Gaza by Israel in December 2008 and January 2009 the International Association of Democratic Lawyers condemned Israeli actions in Gaza. We issued statements that these actions violated international law, the laws of war and international humanitarian law. IADL also called for Israel to be held accountable for these violations….
We issue this White Paper to explain the legal implications of the bombardment and invasion so that the reasons and legal bases for our condemnation of Israeli bombardment and invasion are clearly understood.
