Yesterday, the U.S. representative of The Hind Rajab Foundation, Jake Romm, presented at the final session of the Gaza Tribunal in Istanbul (23–26 October) — a people’s tribunal bringing together scholars, legal experts, civil society, activists, and students to create a record of and pass popular judgement on Israel’s in .
Romm stressed the need for states to undertake prosecutions in their national courts, stating:
“Action — by which I mean: the arrest, prosecution, and punishment of all of those who have perpetrated or are complicit in this genocide — and nothing less, is our demand. It is my sincere hope that, one day, these trials will take place in the courtrooms of a free Palestine, before Palestinian judges, before a Palestinian jury. That will be true justice. But until then, it is the legal obligation of every state in the world to prosecute the Israel genocidaires wherever they may be found.”
