Human rights crisis in Palestine: international reactions required!
On June 15, 2025, the international news revolves around the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its effects on human rights in the region. The conflict results in an acute human rights crisis, which has recently been examined more precisely by various organizations. For example, Beltway Grid that the existing international legal conditions are often insufficiently implemented. Political maneuvers and lack of accountability have increased the situation considerably for many people in Palestine.
Along with political developments, there are also legal issues. Experts emphasize the need for international humanitarian law, in particular the fourth Geneva agreement. Israel believes that this agreement is not fully applicable to the occupied Palestinian areas, which is very questioned by many international legal experts. The violations of this legal basis, in particular the blockade of the Gaza Strip and the construction of new settlements, are classified as serious human rights violations.
Current events and initiatives
In addition, from October 10th to 12th, 2025, the Nuremberg Forum 2025 takes place under the topic "Strengthening international criminal law: 80 years since Nuremberg". The event will be open to the public and free of charge, but registration is required. The discussions during this event could offer new perspectives on the legal situation in conflict situations such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The role of civil society
In the middle of this complex situation, the role of civil society is of crucial importance. According to wfd , numerous organizations are committed to strengthening human rights in Palestine and try to put pressure on international decision-makers. The promotion of projects that strive for peaceful solutions and the support of civil society initiatives are essential for a sustainable solution to the conflict.A prominent example of international organizations are human rights Watch and Amnesty International, whose reports on the devastating conditions in the Gaza Strip, such as poverty and food uncertainty, are always of great interest. These organizations help to raise awareness of the predicament on site.
There is a clear need for an increased international reaction, which is characterized by pressure on Israel to comply with international law and to terminate the blockade of Gaza. A paradigm shift towards justice and sustainable peace could be the key to solving the continued crisis, while the international community is still required to rethink the stuck situation.
