Amnesty research has been cited by South Africa at the International Court of Justice and by Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese in her report to the Human Rights Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recent months have seen crucial developments in international law seeking justice for more than two million civilians who, over the last ten months, have and continue to experience the worst of humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an historic vindication of Palestinians\u2019 rights, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) declared Israel\u2019s occupation of Palestinian Territories unlawful in July. This landmark ruling underscores the urgency for global action against the brutal occupation of Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem, the 17 year siege on Gaza and the continued building of illegal settlements &#8211; and the need for Australia to take a stand. The occupation is enabled by a system of oppression and domination &#8211; the crime against humanity of apartheid  &#8211; which Amnesty determined in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier in May, the ICJ ordered Israel to halt its military offensive in Rafah and outlined in that no uncertain terms; any ongoing military action could constitute an underlying act of genocide. This came only days after the International Criminal Court applied for arrest warrants for senior Israeli and Hamas leaders for war crimes and crimes against humanity. These positive breakthroughs would not have happened without millions of people across the world calling for a ceasefire and pushing their governments to apply international pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-new-investigation-on-foreign-weapons-sudan\"><strong><strong><strong>New investigation on foreign weapons Sudan<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In July, Amnesty International&#8217;s new investigation found that foreign weapons are being imported in large quantities into Sudan, fuelling relentless civilian suffering.
