Gaza – A number of Palestinian human rights centers began providing documents about the Zionist regime‘s crimes during its 51-day-long invasion on Gaza Strip in order to bring the case into the international courts, it was reported here Saturday.
General Director of Al Mezan Center for Human Rights IssamYounis told IRNA if Palestinians make no serious and legal move against atrocities committed by the Zionists against the defenseless people of Gaza, then they should be waiting for more crimes to be made by the Zionists in the future.
Al Mezan is a non-governmental organization based in the Jabalia Palestinian refugee camp in the Gaza Strip. Its declared goals are: To promote and protect human rights in the OPT and especially in the Gaza Strip with a focus on economic, social and cultural rights (ESCR) and to work towards the realization of Palestinians’ individual and collective human rights.
Younis said the documentation would be prepared in two months with the help of two other Palestinian centers for human rights.
If Palestinians do nothing about Zionist regime’s brutal atrocities, their future would be worse than their present, Younis told IRNA in a recent exclusive interview.
The lawyer who is educated in the Theory and Practice of Human Rights, added the unlimited support of the international community for the Zionist regime has encouraged it to carry out three major wars against Palestinians during the past six years.
Younis has lost four members of his family in the latest Israeli invasion on Gaza which ended on August 26 with an open-ended ceasefire brokered by Egypt.
Younis stressed bringing legal, political and diplomatic prosecutions to regional and international courts against crimes of the Zionist regime would help stop its carnage against Palestinians.
He also criticized the silence of certain Arab and Islamic states over Israel’s atrocities against Palestinians noting that Palestinians have no choice but to follow up in person the case of Israeli crimes at the international tribunals.
