Last year, 2,000 people were killed by Israeli bombing raids.
In January of 2015, Palestine has completed processes to entry into the ICC. Palestine’s affiliation will be accomplished in this coming April if everything goes well.
The International Criminal Court (ICC), that oversees cases such as Genocide, crime against humanity and war crimes, has brought justice to massacre in Africa as well as other regions. In this symposium, HRN would like to discuss with panels about how Palestine’s situation has changed, what international community should do to closely observe the situation, and what challenges ICC face today.
