Gaza war: countries selling Israel weapons are violating international law – legal expert

The UK government has received internal legal advice that Israel has broken international humanitarian law in its current war on Gaza.

Key Points: 
  • The UK government has received internal legal advice that Israel has broken international humanitarian law in its current war on Gaza.
  • But what does international law actually say on this issue, and what are the UK’s (and other nations’) legal obligations in relation to the ongoing assault on Gaza?
  • In recent months, a number of countries have announced they are suspending arms exports to Israel.
  • In the UK, the high court dismissed an attempt to challenge the government’s continued licensing of arms exports to Israel.

Arms trade treaty

  • The most obvious, and the one emphasised in the British MPs’ letter, is found in the UN arms trade treaty, to which the UK is a party.
  • In 2019, the UK court of appeal suspended arms exports to Saudi Arabia based on the government’s failure to assess whether past violations of international law had likely been committed in Yemen.
  • So, signatories to the arms trade treaty continuing to supply weapons to Israel likely do so in breach of article 7.

Geneva conventions

  • But it also includes article 1 of the 1949 Geneva conventions, which requires states to “ensure respect” for international humanitarian law.
  • On March 1, Nicaragua instituted proceedings before the ICJ against Germany (the second-biggest arms exporter to Israel), in part alleging that it is violating article 1 of the Geneva conventions due to its support for Israel.
  • In this way, all countries are legally obliged to ensure that others comply with international humanitarian law.
