Amnesty International is accusing Israel of a flagrant disregard for international law during its offensive in Gaza. The organisation’s annual report says the situation is being compounded by the failures of Israel’s allies to stop the indescribable civilian bloodshed being seen in the Palestinian enclave. It is one of the main criticisms in the report, which says the world is seeing a near-breakdown of international law, amid flagrant rule-breaking in Gaza and Ukraine, multiplying armed conflicts, the rise of authoritarianism and massive human rights violations in Sudan, Ethiopia and Myanmar. In Perspective, we spoke to one of the researchers on the report who worked specifically on the Middle East. Palestinian writer Budour Hassan reiterated Amnesty’s call for Israel to allow to human rights investigators and journalists “unfettered access” to Gaza.
