Abstract

This paper examines the issues pertinent to the implementation and implementation of the international law particularly Article 7 of the Rome Statute dealing with the crimes against humanity in the case of Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It critically analyses the weaknesses immanent in the lengthy character of the conflict in jeopardizing the validity and applicability of Article 7, as well as the accountability of the crimes against humanity that have been perpetrated by both the Israeli authorities and Palestinian armed militias. The study investigates to what degree international legal norms are used in these claims and how accountability mechanisms respond to them prove to be effective. The results will reveal the fact that the implementation of international law in this regard is often compromised by political motivation and discriminatory practice which leaves behind the culture of impunity as well as a sustained depression of civilians. The paper aims to provide critical information on the shortfalls of using human rights traditions to settle down complicated geopolitical wars and to provide in the future an idea to harness. It involves a qualitative research approach with the deployment of thematic content examination and documentation review of lettered as well as unlettered sources, such as legal documents, reporting by the United Nations and scholarly articles. In order to put the study into perspective, the principles of the Realist theory of international relations is applied as it emphasizes the preeminence of advancing power and national interest in international relations, and helps to interpret the favorable application of international law rules only in this conflict.
