In this episode of UpFront, Redi Tlhabi converses with Craig Mokhiber, a former UN official, to examine the capacity of international institutions to hold Israel accountable for its actions in Gaza. Following a ceasefire earlier in the year, Israel's blockade of humanitarian aid and disruption of electricity have drawn condemnation from rights groups as breaches of international law. The discussion highlights the limitations of global governance in enforcing accountability and the complexities that arise amid political interests in addressing violations of human rights.
"The blockade on humanitarian aid and the cutting of electricity to Gaza are actions that many international rights groups are declaring as violations of international law, prompting questions about the effectiveness of global governance frameworks in holding Israel accountable."
"While international institutions like the UN are designed to uphold human rights, their ability to enforce compliance from states like Israel often comes into question amid geopolitical complexities and power disparities."
