It is not the illegality of the apartheid wall on trial but International law

Anti-Apartheid Wall Media Center | 23.02.2004 09:58 | World

Our message is very clear to the international community and the international court of justice: It is not the illegality of the apartheid wall on trial today but rather, it is the international law and, as its reference, the United Nations system which are on trial. The Palestinian people want justice and the respect of international human rights laws by the government of Israel. Israel should obey the UN resolutions as other countries in the world do.


Jamal Juma'(Coordinator of PENGON/Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign in Palestine) on the International Court of Justice, The Hague

Our message is very clear to the international community and the international court of justice: It is not the illegality of the apartheid wall on trial today but rather, it is the international law and, as its reference, the United Nations system which are on trial. The Palestinian people want justice and the respect of international human rights laws by the government of Israel. Israel should obey the UN resolutions as other countries in the world do.

A de-legitimization of the wall implies a de-legitimization of the occupation. A fair trial and a just decision by the court will give us hope and push forward the struggle to end the occupation, to tear down the wall and have a free Palestine.

We at the Palestine anti-apartheid wall campaign call on the international community to protect human rights laws and the freedom of all people. We should not let colonial mentality or the superpowers to govern our future and bring us back to the colonial times of the previous centuries, which will only lead to an increase in the enmity among people. We need to act now to prevent a situation in the future where human lives are governed by conflict and conflict alone.

The Palestine anti-apartheid wall campaign was launched by PENGON in October 2002. The campaign's aim is to tear down the wall and recover the confiscated land, which should bring an end to the Israeli occupation. The campaign is the only grassroots movement in Palestine that organizes groups/committees of affected people and farmers to resist this latest project of colonization, the apartheid wall.

We call on the international community to put pressure on their governments and leaders to take responsibility for demolishing the apartheid wall and ending the occupation of Palestine.
