Russell Tribunal conclusion: U.S. facilitates Israeli immunity and impunity [View all]

Russell Tribunal conclusion: U.S. facilitates Israeli immunity and impunity


After two long days of expert testimony, the Russell Tribunal on Palestine wrapped up Sunday night (see Ethan Heitner's reports and sketches of the days). Then yesterday, the tribunal’s jury presented its findings to a United Nations committee--findings that Israel “has achieved a status of immunity and impunity by [its] complete disregard for the norms and standards of international law facilitated by the US.”

The executive summary of these findings has now been published.
