Rajagopal noted that the current events in Gaza reflect “institutional impunity,” noting the importance of holding the occupation accountable, and bringing charges regarding war crimes, crimes against humanity, and even genocide.
UN Special Rapporteur on the right to housing, Balakrishnan Rajagopal, has called for the establishment of a new international court, if the ICC does not take effective action “in a very short time” regarding Israeli war crimes in Gaza.
In his post on the “X” platform, Rajagopal indicated that the current events in Gaza reflect “institutional impunity,” noting the importance of holding the occupation accountable, and bringing charges regarding war crimes, crimes against humanity, and even genocide.
He continued, explaining what he meant: “Impunity for: occupation, war of extermination, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide.”
Rajagopal added: “If the International Criminal Court does not act very soon, we will need a special international court for Gaza, and action by states.”
Since last October 7, the Israeli army has been waging a war on Gaza, which as of Sunday left 20,424 dead, 54,36 wounded, most of them children and women, massive infrastructure destruction, and an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe, according to authorities in the Gaza Strip and the United Nations. .
