As South Africa, we hold the firm view that the attack on civilians in Israel, the ongoing siege of Gaza and the decision to forcibly move the people of Gaza, together with the indiscriminate use of force through bombing, are violations of international law. More than that, these acts are an affront to our common humanity.

We call for an immediate cessation of hostilities, the release of hostages, the lifting of the siege of Gaza, opening of humanitarian corridors and the urgent provision of humanitarian aid on the required scale to the people of Gaza. We also call for a United Nations-led negotiation process towards resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

[Centre for the Study of Violence & Reconciliation @_CSVR]

Since its inception, PARI has called on the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR) to strengthen victims’ right to redress.

#justredress

[Centre for the Study of Violence & Reconciliation @_CSVR]

Torture is an abhorrent crime that is absolutely prohibited under international law. The status of this prohibition is such that it cannot be contradicted by treaty law or by other rules of international law.
