> There is a pressing need to hold Israel accountable, not only for its longstanding violations of international law, but specifically for its longstanding refusal to abide by its Charter obligations. In the face of this recalcitrance, the UN must move towards expelling Israel from the organization, not only because the UN exists to uphold international law, but also to maintain the UN’s integrity as an organization. The persistent, open violations by Israel of binding UNSC resolutions cannot go unpunished. The current situation, where Israel openly accuses the UN of bias, refuses to cooperate with the organization on multitude levels, defies binding orders of the ICJ, physically attacks UN premises and staff, and even moves towards designating a UN agency as a terrorist organization, is a clear threat to the authority of the UN – an issue which the UNSC raised explicitly in the case of South Africa. To allow the situation to continue would show that international legal norms, and rules of the UN binding member states, are applied on the basis of double standards: specifically, that states allied to powerful Western countries are afforded impunity. https://opiniojuris.org/2024/10/09/israel-must-be-expelled-from-the-united-nations/
