For International Civil Society Organizations
International civil society organizations can use the Gaza Tribunal materials to strengthen public education, legal advocacy, parliamentary engagement, professional mobilization, and coordinated campaigns for accountability.
The Tribunal’s findings can be used by human rights organizations, legal groups, trade unions, student movements, academic associations, medical associations, faith-based organizations, municipalities, cultural institutions, and solidarity networks.
1- Brief your community
Organize public events, webinars, teach-ins, and testimony screenings using the Tribunal findings and WitnessEye materials.
2- Engage your parliament and government
Send the Final Statement, Judgement, and conclusion to foreign ministries, parliamentary human rights committees, foreign affairs committees, and national human rights institutions.
3- Use the materials in legal advocacy
Lawyers, bar associations, and legal clinics can use the Tribunal findings and WitnessEye legal classification reports to prepare legal briefings, submissions, or country-specific accountability initiatives.
4- Mobilize professional sectors
Medical associations can focus on attacks on health systems; academic associations can address scholasticide and university complicity; unions can address arms, trade, and supply-chain complicity; journalists’ groups can address attacks on journalists and media responsibility.
5- Transmit materials to international mechanisms
CSOs can share the Tribunal materials with UN Special Rapporteurs, treaty bodies, regional human rights bodies, international legal networks, and parliamentary assemblies.
6- Build coordinated campaigns
Use the Tribunal materials to support campaigns on accountability, arms embargoes, divestment, academic and cultural boycott, corporate complicity, media accountability, and the protection of Palestinian civil society.
7- Support international court and justice pathways
International CSOs can use the Gaza Tribunal materials to support accountability efforts before international courts and legal mechanisms. While civil society organizations cannot directly bring cases before the International Court of Justice, they can urge states to support, intervene in, or initiate relevant proceedings concerning genocide, apartheid, occupation, state responsibility, and violations of international law. You can access detailed information in this section:
CSOs can also use the Tribunal’s findings, WitnessEye legal classification reports, survivor testimonies, expert analyses, and final documents to support accountability efforts related to the International Criminal Court, UN human rights mechanisms, regional human rights systems, and national courts exercising universal jurisdiction.
This may include submitting information to appropriate legal networks, supporting victim and survivor documentation, engaging with lawyers and bar associations, encouraging governments to cooperate with international courts, and advocating for the protection of judicial independence. CSOs can also use the materials to call for action against state, corporate, academic, financial, technological, and military complicity.
The aim is to ensure that the Gaza Tribunal’s findings and testimonies do not remain only in the public record, but also contribute to legal accountability, international advocacy, and institutional pressure.
