ACTION HUMANITAIRE ET AGRESSION ARMEE «MARMARA FACE AU BLOCUS DE GAZA»
ASSAULT AND HUMANITARIAN ACTION ARMY "MARMARA FACE TO BLOCKADE OF GAZA"

Summary/Abstract: Subjected to a blocade which was unilaterally and thus illegally declared by the Hebrew state, the occupation force, Gaza strip has no means of survival and communication with the exterior world other than through non-governmental organizations. On the hope of lifting the blockade, many activists from different nationalities went to Gaza strip. Some of them died; others were injured following the interception of the humanitarian convoy (on 31May 2010) in international water by the Israeli army. In this case, the recourse to force by the Israeli army (as an act of agression) as well as the blockade on Gaza violate: The U.N Charter, jus cogens, Montego Bay convention relative to the law of the sea, Geneva conventions (humanitarian international law) and the principles of international human rights law. At the penal level, resorting to force is a crime of agression (as provided for by the works of the international law commission, ILC, and by the statute of the international criminal court, ICC) despite the Israeli authorities' claim to prevent the submission of arms to Hamas, the Palestinian islamic movement which Israel qulifies as terrorist.
