New legal research on Gaza war urges immediate action

In a paper on international law in Gaza, Professor Janina Dill of the Blavatnik School of Government, Oxford University and co-author Tom Dannenbaum (Fletcher School, Tufts University) argue that the role of law in restraining war risks being stifled by too much focus on the threshold for retrospective accountability for war crimes. They argue that, when applying the right threshold, Israel is in violation of international humanitarian law and that outside countries should suspend material assistance such as selling weapons.
