O conflict between Israel and Palestine<\/strong> It is one of the biggest. sociopolitical issues<\/strong> of humanity. The dispute over the Holy Land has lasted for millennia, with Jerusalem being a central point for three religions, and shows no signs of resolution. Not only that, it can be considered a worsening in certain cases.<\/span><\/p>\n

The most recent chapter in the story began right after the Second World War and is precisely the dispute between Israel and Palestine<\/strong>. Born almost at the same time as some of the main treatises of International Humanitarian Law (IHL)<\/strong>, The dispute, on several occasions, broke rules considered universal. We will see a little more about this below. dispute between Israel and Palestine<\/strong>, The main points of human rights that the battle ignored, the origin of human rights, a summary of the conflict, and the main acts that violate these conventions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Emergence of International Human Rights\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

You international human rights<\/strong> They emerged after the devastating consequences of World War II with the aim of protecting human dignity and promoting peace among nations. Universal Declaration of Human Rights<\/strong>, The Constitution, adopted in 1948, is a historic milestone that established basic rights such as the right to life, liberty, and security.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

O International Humanitarian Law<\/strong>, International armed conflict, a branch of human rights, specifically regulates conduct in international or global armed conflicts and primarily protects people not involved in the armed conflict, such as civilians and prisoners of war, and attempts to guarantee basic and absolute rights.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It's worth remembering, however, that it's technically impossible for there to be legal consequences for those who don't follow them, as laws vary from country to country; human rights serve as a guideline for nations. Normally, breaking these rights... DHI<\/strong> It is a diplomatic matter, and countries not involved or only indirectly involved may disrupt trade agreements, imports and exports, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A large part of the protocols of DIH<\/strong> they came from Geneva Conventions<\/strong>, The conventions, responsible for establishing norms and rules on how countries should act during wars, discussed at length problematic acts of the World Wars (such as dispossession, genocide, collective punishments, etc.). But the transgression of these conventions is clear in the... conflict between Israel and Palestine.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Israel vs. Palestine (and escalation to the Middle East)<\/b><\/h2>\n

O conflict between Israel and Palestine<\/strong> It has deep roots, involving territorial, identity, and religious issues. Until 1918, the Palestinian nation was part of the predominantly Islamic Ottoman Empire. With World War II, there was a large exodus of Jews from all over Europe to the country. Then, in 1948, the territory was divided between Palestine and Israel (the latter being Jewish). Israel received half of the land, even though it only had 301,300 of the population.<\/span><\/p>\n

Around 700,000 Palestinians were expelled from their lands and forced to go to the "Muslim side," and a war and territorial disputes began almost immediately. Countries around the world began to take sides; Palestine was supported by other Muslim nations in the Middle East, while most European countries... <\/span>supported<\/span> Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even today, there is a division of support. Palestine receives support mainly from Lebanon, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iraq, and several other countries, primarily Islamic (these countries do not maintain relations with Israel). Israel, in turn, is directly supported by major nations such as the United Kingdom and the United States, in addition to having diplomatic and financial relationships with 166 countries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The hostility then escalated to the entire world \u2013 but it is most strongly present in the countries neighboring the conflict zone; Lebanon and Iran, for example, have become actively involved in the disputes.<\/span><\/p>\n
