Four independent UN human rights rapporteurs have urged the international community to impose sanctions regarding Israel's conduct in the occupied Palestinian territories. They also called for restoring trust in the international justice system by abandoning "double standards and extreme interpretations" in applying the rules governing warfare. 

In a related development, the UN General Assembly adopted two resolutions. One calls for an immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, with 158 member states voting in favor. The other supports the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA). 

Alkarama expresses its support for these initiatives and efforts, emphasizing their potential to put an end to one of the most significant tragedies of the century. This outcome, however, depends on the political will of governments to implement the resolutions and decisions issued by the United Nations and its human rights bodies. 

At a joint press conference, Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights situation in the occupied Palestinian territories, called for halting the direct or indirect transfer of arms to Israel and reviewing its UN membership to "demonstrate zero tolerance for impunity." Albanese emphasized the need for a final resolution to the Palestinian issue in line with international law. She stated that this means "three things: First, ending the genocide now, ending the occupation by September next year—per the General Assembly's deadline for Israel to comply with the International Court of Justice's advisory opinion—and starting to realize the Palestinian people's right to self-determination." 

Ben Saul, Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights while countering terrorism, highlighted how Israel has used anti-terror rhetoric over the past 14 months to justify extreme violence against Palestinians, accompanied by chronic dehumanization that enables mass killings. He described Israel's actions in Gaza as "unprecedented in modern warfare," including "deliberate attacks on civilians, indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks, starvation, denial of humanitarian relief, suppression of civil society organizations, and impunity within military and civilian justice systems." 

Margaret Satterthwaite, Special Rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers, focused on impunity, international efforts, and the steps needed now. She discussed the role of international justice, particularly the International Court of Justice, in holding perpetrators of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity accountable. Satterthwaite criticized U.S. authorities for "outrageous threats" against the court and called for equal application of international justice to all. She declared: "It’s time to end double standards. Either there is international justice, or there isn’t. Justice cannot be applied selectively to some nations while others escape accountability." 

George Katrougalos, Special Rapporteur on the promotion of a democratic and equitable international order, expressed concern about the broader implications of impunity on the international system. He warned that Israel's actions risk establishing a two-tier system where some states are immune to consequences. Katrougalos stressed the importance of reaffirming human rights and standing against injustice as a way to pressure governments to uphold their legal obligations.
