Israel's refusal to comply with the Geneva Conventions, International Lae, and the UN Charter is why each nation individually and collectively must enforce the Geneva Conventions. If the US vetoes Security Council action by the UN, the General Assembly can vote in a Uniting For Peace Resolution, no vetoes, a majority vote, which would authorize and empower those nations who choose to use whatever force necessary to restore international security.
In addition, as attacks by Israel on UN facilities are an attack on all Nations and under Chapter 7 Article 51, nations attacked can engage in mutual self defense until the Security Council acts.
The Gaza Tribunal on Monday called for an urgent international armed intervention to stop what it described as Israel’s “most lethal phase of genocide” in Gaza, warning that failure to act would mark “an historic failure of humanity”.
At a press conference held in Istanbul, the president of the independent tribunal, Richard Falk, professor emeritus of international law at the US’ Princeton University and the former UN special rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories (2008–2014), urged governments to bypass the Security Council and empower the UN General Assembly to authorize armed intervention.
“If we do not take action of a serious and drastic kind at this time, anything done in a more moderate fashion will be too late, too late to save the surviving people who have already been traumatized by more than 22 months of genocide,” Falk said.
