International Lawyers Unite in Joint Statement on Gaza

November 10, 2025


Published on November 7, 2025


Over the course of the war in Gaza, the press often portrayed international lawyers as “divided” when it came to what was going on inside the Palestinian territory. In response to this misleading depiction, a group of academics specializing in international law and international criminal law decided to organize a letter this summer that would outline the legal analysis upon which the international legal community could agree. The result was an eight-point statement that attracted more than 270 signatures, reflecting how unified international law scholars are on this topic.
