By 2015, in the wake of the 2014 war with Hamas, she writes in ‘A Healthy Dose of Wartime Normative Realism’ that Israel ‘in effect eviscerates the category of civilians and undermines the principle of distinction’ (214). She is arguably still more blunt in ‘An International legal demarche for human rights?’ saying polemically that Israel has ‘disposed of the international humanitarian law principle of distinction by classifying Gaza’s civilian population as the enemy.’ That is a tendentious political argument masquerading as a fact. Deciding whether a civilian is a valid military target, she asserts, ‘involves a two-part test, which requires both that their actions be “crucial” to and concretely and causally linked to military operations, and that the individual made an objectively-determinable free choice to make such a contribution.’ She insists that Israel honor these criteria despite acknowledging that ‘in some cases civilians feel that they are subject to circumstantial coercion and socio-political pressures to support the fighting forces.’ From Nazi Germany to Hamas’s Gaza, ‘circumstantial coercion’ is a documented phenomenon. During that time, from June 2008 to March 2010, she was employed as a Legal Researcher at HaMoked: Center for the Defence of the Individual in East Jerusalem.

’ She writes, ‘The court has provided a remedy to Palestinians in few cases, in rulings that have not curtailed the general policy and practice responsible for the individual injury.’ Familiarity with the court’s history shows that courts under some chief justices preferred to decide cases narrowly, while others were more activist and used rulings to establish or extend general rights. The UN database will not track or list those companies; nonetheless, Azarova believes companies have a responsibility to monitor their own relationships for third-degree proximity. But more broadly she believes Israel has no right to claim self-defense to justify targeting combat units or rocket launch sites in Gaza. In her 2009 piece on an Israel Supreme Court decision, she claims, with a sense of injustice, that the Court ‘has virtually never upheld or referenced in any context whatsoever’ the Palestinian ‘inherent right to self-determination.’ That right is a matter of principle, not of black letter law. Israel were older than these regulations and many public buildings as well as 50,000 residential buildings did not meet the new standards and were “expected to collapse” if exposed to a strong earthquake. Yet Azarova is more forthcoming about her aspirations for the UN database in more polemical pieces for nonacademic audiences also published in 2018, especially ‘The UN Database on Business in Israeli Settlements’ and ‘Tracking Business in Israeli Settlements.’ In the second of these pieces she defines the UN database as ‘a mechanism to document, report, and engage primary interested parties’ and specifies accurately that ‘it does not have the mandate to adjudicate the responsibility of concerned parties, nor to act as a coercive tool of law enforcement.’ She adds that ‘it cannot afford to alienate its target audiences by operating as an adjudicative or coercive body.’ A few sentences later, however, she expresses her wish for how the database will be used: ‘it could well become the first to function as a regulatory tool that gains support, and encourages compliance with international law.’ In the first of these two essays, published in Al-Shabaka: the Palestinian policy network, however, she reminds us that ‘not only does the establishment and maintenance of the settlements constitute violations of international law, but so do all private transactions and business dealings in or related to the settlements.’ The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, she insists, ‘require businesses to assess whether their operations have a harmful effect on human rights and to mitigate such harms,’ but warns us that ‘HRC resolution 31/36 affirms that a business undertaking operations in Israel’s settlements is unable to mitigate the adverse impact of its activities on the severity and frequency of violations of human rights .

Then laws baring doing business in settlements ‘would become as enforceable as any other domestic laws regulating corporate actors.’ Two years later she would turn to the UN database as an inducement to trigger action. The essay is carefully calculated to address concerns business representatives and business faculty would recognise and to employ rhetoric with which they would feel more comfortable. Unless you read the series of footnotes dealing with Israel, you might imagine the essay entailed no specific political commitments. The body of the essay is mostly composed in the abstract; no specific corporations are mentioned. In 2015’s ‘Exploding Civilian Involvement,’ an essay that pays ‘particular attention to the case of Israel,’ she adds yet another requirement. In her 2012 essay ‘Disingenuous ‘Disengagement’ she claims Israel maintains ‘its ultimate ability to reinstate its control over any domain of daily life whenever it so wishes’. Moral Sentiments and Material Interests: The Foundations of Cooperation in Economic Life. Published a year before, in 2017, ‘The Bounds of (Il)legality: Rethinking the Regulation of Transnational Corporate Wrongs’ is very much a companion piece to ‘Business and Human Rights in Occupied Territory,’ as is 2018’s ‘The secret life of non-recognition: EU-Israel relations and the obligation of non-recognition in international law,’ which is about the European Union’s ‘obligations of non-recognition and non-assistance to Israel’s serious breaches of peremptory norms under international law .

HaMoked defines its main aim as ‘assisting Palestinians of the occupied territories whose rights are violated due to Israel’s policies’; it regularly represents families of Palestinians responsible for carrying out terrorists attacks against Israel. As I argued in Israel Denial and Peace and Faith, that includes expanding the fishing limit to 12 miles, supplying additional electricity to Gaza, freeing up and facilitating exports from Gaza, expanding work opportunities in Israel for Gazans, and many other practical actions. For Valentinaof4 my part, although I believe Israel and Egypt have no choice but to continue maintaining a blockade that monitors and regulates imports into Gaza, I believe it comes with responsibilities. Matilda Bogner, the mission’s chief, said Ukrainian prisoners of war appeared to have faced “systematic” mistreatment, “not only upon their capture, but also following their transfer to places of internment” in Russian-controlled areas of Ukraine and Russia itself. Mangoes are also grown in Andalusia, Spain (mainly in Málaga province), as its coastal subtropical climate is one of the few places in mainland Www.tiktok.Com Europe that permits the growth of tropical plants and fruit trees.
