Albanese følger opp ICJ-konklusjonen fra 19. juli 2024 om Israels ulivlige okkupasjon av palestinske områder:
"UN’s Albanese hails 30-nation meeting aimed at ending Israeli occupation of Palestine"
"The Hague Group aims to agree political, economic and legal actions in ‘existential hour’ for Israel and Palestine"
"The ICJ said in its advisory opinion that “Israel’s security concerns do not override the principle of the prohibition of the acquisition of territory by force” and called on it to end its occupation “as rapidly as possible”. It said UN member states had an obligation “not to render aid or assistance in maintaining the situation created by Israel’s illegal presence in the occupied Palestinian territory”.
Det er dette møtet i Bogota følger opp:
"The Colombian president and conference host, Gustavo Petro, says the meeting will show that the world is finally moving from condemnation of Israel’s military action to collective action to bring it to a halt.
The aim is to agree a detailed plan of political, economic and legal actions, but there are range of views over how far states can go politically or legally to isolate Israel, a country that feels secure so long as it maintains US support.
The Hague Group was initially brought together by South Africa and Colombia, but since then support has grown and it now includes Algeria, Brazil, Spain, Indonesia and Qatar."
