A Middle East Eye article on the US stance as to whether Israel is complying with international law featured a quote by ELAC Co-Director Janina Dill. The 5 April 2024 article, “US says Israel is complying with international law. ‘Complete nonsense’, experts say“, highlights the US view that Israel has not violated international humanitarian law throughout it’s operations in Gaza.
Dill, the Dame Louise Richardson Chair in Global Security at the Blavatnik School of Government, said that while assessing transgressions of international law was a complicated process requiring a high level of certainty, it was inconceivable the US was unaware of Israel’s violations of international law in Gaza.
Dill went on to say, “In short, it is plausible neither that Israel’s operations in Gaza are in full compliance with IHL (international humanitarian law), nor that the US government is unaware of the serious and credible allegations of legal violations.”
