Frank Barat, The Electronic Intifada, 1 March 2010
Today, the first session of the Russell Tribunal on Palestine (RTP) will be held in Barcelona. The RTP is a peoples’ tribunal focusing not on Israel’s obligations under international humanitarian law (IHL) such as the Fourth Geneva Convention, but on the obligations of the international community of signatory states which sustain and enable Israel’s continuous violations of international law.
Frank Barat is coordinator of the Russell Tribunal on Palestine (http://www.russelltribunalonpalestine.com).
