Israel en Palestina: quince meses de guerra contra la ONU y el Derecho Internacional

Abstract

This text, finalised on 5 January 2025, aims, on the one hand, to briefly present the main aspects of a long-standing conflict, such as Israel's progressive colonisation of the Palestinian territories, and, on the other hand, to point out the seriousness of the potential consequences of Israel's behaviour for the international multilateral system and the UN, as well as for international humanitarian law. Although the text analyses the origins and early phases of the conflict, it logically focuses on the stage that began on 7 October with the Hamas attack and the Israeli response to that attack, which is leading to the almost total destruction of the Gaza Strip and the death or disappearance of a significant part of its population, but also to an unprecedented attack on the foundations of international humanitarian law and on the United Nations itself.
