Gaza Stories aims to amplify censored narratives and establish a deeper understanding of the situation.
International criminal law expert Chantal Meloni explains why decades of evidence documenting Israeli violations in Gaza have not led to prosecutions.

Meloni highlights Israel’s clear breaches of the Fourth Geneva Convention and the Genocide Convention, and stresses that third states have a legal duty to act immediately.
