In an exclusive and deeply important interview with Muneef Khan, former UN Human Rights Chief Navi Pillay delivered a powerful warning regarding the conflict in Gaza. As the esteemed Chair of the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Pillay emphasized that any state providing arms to Israel risks a serious breach of its duties under international law, particularly its obligation to prevent genocide.
Her statements highlight the critical moral and legal tightrope nations walk when engaging in arms trade with parties involved in intense conflicts. Pillay’s insights underscore the urgent need for international accountability and adherence to humanitarian principles in the ongoing crisis.
