Israel-Gaza: What international law says about the deadly hospital strike

Al Jazeera  

The bombing of al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza has pushed countries and organisations around the world to label Israel’s recent aggressions as a “war crime”, a “massacre”, and a “violation of international humanitarian law”. According to the UN, a war crime occurs during armed conflict and is a breach of the Geneva Conventions and a violation of international humanitarian law – the set of rules, also known as the “law of war”, that seek to limit the effects of armed conflict. Fourth Geneva Convention International humanitarian law, particularly in times of war, is dictated primarily by the Geneva Conventions which Israel has ratified. Article 12 clearly states: “Medical units shall be respected and protected at all times and shall not be the object of attack.” Investigating a violation of this protocol would require the activation of an international fact-finding commission – a legal hurdle for this incident since Israel has not ratified Additional Protocol One, according to Srinivas Burra, an associate professor of international humanitarian law at South Asian University in Delhi.
