RETHINKING OF INTERNATIONAL LAW IN PURSUIT OF JUSTICE AFTER GAZA

Öz

This study examines the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza through the lens of international law, with a particular focus on genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. It analyzes the judicial processes before the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the International Court of Justice (ICJ), including the genocide case initiated by South Africa against Israel and Türkiye’s declaration of intervention. The paper critically assesses Israel’s occupation, settlement policies, and blockade in light of international humanitarian and human rights law. It further highlights the structural deficiencies of the United Nations and the paralysis of the Security Council. The study argues that the selective application of international law undermines its legitimacy, that Israel’s actions in Gaza constitute genocide, and that the Palestinian question represents not only a regional but also a global issue of justice. The concluding section offers proposals for institutional reforms aimed at strengthening the enforcement of international law and the protection of human rights.

Gazze’den Sonra Adalet Peşinde Uluslararası Hukuku Yeniden Düşünmek

Öz

Bu çalışma, Gazze’de devam eden insanlık krizini uluslararası hukuk perspektifinden ele almakta ve özellikle soykırım, insanlığa karşı suçlar ve savaş suçları bağlamında hukuki sorumluluğu tartışmaktadır. Çalışmada Uluslararası Ceza Mahkemesi (UCM) ve Uluslararası Adalet Divanı (UAD) nezdindeki yargı süreçleri, Güney Afrika tarafından İsrail aleyhinde açılan soykırım davası ve Türkiye’nin müdahillik beyanı ayrıntılı biçimde incelenmektedir. Ayrıca İsrail’in işgal, yerleşim politikaları ve ablukasının uluslararası insancıl hukuk ve insan hakları hukuku açısından yarattığı ihlaller değerlendirilmiş; Birleşmiş Milletlerin mevcut yapısal sorunları ve Güvenlik Konseyi’nin işlevsizliği vurgulanmıştır. Makale, uluslararası hukukun seçici uygulanmasının meşruiyet krizini derinleştirdiğini, Gazze’de yaşananların soykırım niteliği taşıdığını ve bu süreçlerin yalnızca bölgesel değil küresel bir adalet meselesi olduğunu ileri sürmektedir. Son bölümde, uluslararası hukukun etkinliğini artırmaya yönelik kurumsal reform önerilerine yer verilmiştir.
