Background:
This event will examine how powerful actors use economic and physical coercion to block accountability for Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
The United States has imposed unilateral sanctions on the International Criminal Court, UN rapporteurs, and Palestinian human‑rights groups, and has threatened aid freezes and tariffs on states like South Africa that pursue legal and policy action. Simultaneously, threats of continued or escalated violence have been wielded in ceasefire talks.
By revisiting anti‑colonial histories of sanctions and decolonization, the discussion seeks ways to counter state‑driven economic, diplomatic, and force‑based pressures, promote multilateral sanctions and sanction measures on Israel, and advance transnational justice in Gaza in line with international obligations.
This event is co-hosted by the PIPD, Law for Palestine, TWAILR and Transnational Institute.
