2025 has been another year of profound loss and devastation for the Palestinian people. Despite the so-called ceasefire, Israel’s campaign of genocidal violence continues unabated. Rather than complying with the International Court of Justice’s direction to end its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Israel has intensified annexation and settlement expansion, further entrenching its apartheid system marked by systematic violations of Palestinian rights.
Yet this past year has also been defined by an unprecedented global response. Millions worldwide have mobilised in solidarity with the Palestinians, demanding an end to genocide, apartheid and unlawful occupation, and to Israel’s impunity. Several states imposed arms embargoes and adopted measures -still wholly inadequate- against so-called “violent settlers”, even as efforts intensified to suppress civil society and silence calls for accountability.
Against this backdrop, Law for Palestine’s commitment to its mission remains steadfast. Our Research and Discourse Unit continues to produce rigorous, accessible legal analysis that is used by activists, campaigners, legal practitioners and policymakers to challenge impunity. This year, our work has supported global advocacy around the ICJ proceedings, informed arms embargo campaigns, and strengthened legal arguments for accountability across multiple forums.
This work is made possible by a dedicated team of volunteers, enabled and strengthened by your support. At a time when funding for Palestinian civil society is increasingly restricted, your contribution helps sustain independent legal analysis and ensures these tools remain available to those working for justice. |
