Position Paper Roundtable discussion on the situation in Gaza

This position paper of Marieke de Hoon and Göran Sluiter addresses the question of what the obligations of third states are under the Genocide Convention regarding a risk of genocide committed by Israel against the Palestinian civilian population in Gaza. The position paper concludes that the Netherlands must have already become aware of the risk of genocide relatively soon after the start of the conflict in Gaza, which is when the obligation to prevent/end genocide arose. In addition, we explain on what basis we conclude that the risk of genocide meanwhile has turned into a genocide. Finally, we explain what consequences this has for the Netherlands in terms of concrete actions.
