Commissioner for Human Rights says launching Zionist attack on Rafah violates ICJ decision [01/March/2024] GENEVA March 01. 2024 (Saba) - The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights confirmed on Thursday that the ground attack prepared by the Zionist enemy forces on the city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip will violate the decision of the highest court of the United Nations. According to Agence France-Presse, UN Commissioner Volker Turk said before the Human Rights Council when presenting a report on the situation in the Palestinian territories, “I do not see how such an operation can be compatible with the temporary restrictive measures issued by the International Court of Justice.” Turk explained that the Zionist enemy's plan to launch a ground attack on Rafah would give a new dimension to the nightmare experienced by the people of Gaza, indicating that what is happening in Gaza is a "massacre." At the end of last January, the International Court of Justice called on the Zionist enemy to prevent any possible act of “genocide” in Gaza. The court, based in The Hague, also asked the enemy to take “immediate measures” to allow the provision of “humanitarian aid that the Palestinians urgently need” in the Gaza Strip.
