Israel-Gaza
Why are the international conventions silent on genocide?
There is a long history of setting rules in human conflicts. However, before the modern era, no power had significant control over all countries, nor was there an alliance of allied nations to enforce or implement these desired rules. But by the mid-19th century, European countries began signing agreements among themselves, making it mandatory to follow international law. These European nations essentially agreed that based on these treaties, they had the authority to impose obligations on international law enforcement. In the middle of this century, these countries reached an agreement on maritime regulations, which became the first foundation of the laws of war. These laws gradually expanded during the 20th century, and some of them are still in force today. After the two world wars, the humanitarian aspects of these laws drew more attention, particularly in the context of eliminating human catastrophes and genocide.

International Justice System Under Threat Over Genocide Issues
Like almost all modern conflicts, the legal aspects of the Israel-Hamas struggle are the subject of intense debate. This is not a new phenomenon; such debates have occurred in the past. As with previous military operations in Gaza, Israel is arguing that this current campaign is a measure of self-defense. Article 51 of the UN Charter states that the right to self-defense is a fundamental principle of international law. While there are various debates surrounding the nuances of this principle, any state has the right to take defensive measures in the face of armed attacks. Most international lawyers believe that if rockets are fired into civilian areas and disrupt the normal social life of a part of a country, it can be considered an armed attack under international law. Article 51 of the UN Charter supports this view. However, there is ongoing debate about under what specific conditions such self-defense actions are legally justified.
