Law for Palestine Organisation is pleased to announce the publication of a new database that compiles key United Nations resolutions calling for sanctions and embargoes against states that violate international legal norms. This initiative aims to provide states, civil society organisations, and researchers with a comprehensive record of significant UN General Assembly (UNGA) and Security Council (UNSC) resolutions related to the matter.
The newly released document offers an overview of relevant resolutions, detailing the resolution number, title, and key paragraphs that specifically call for the imposition of embargoes and sanctions. By documenting these important resolutions, Law for Palestine seeks to illuminate how the international community has historically addressed violations of international law.
One of the primary goals of this research project is to serve as a reference for addressing the serious violations associated with the Israeli occupation, particularly its illegal presence in the occupied Palestinian territory. This situation of illegality has been underscored by the International Court of Justice in its advisory opinion from July 2024, which highlighted the need for action.
