    In response, the authors provide what they describe as the “first global legal blueprint explaining how to prosecute sexual violence as a weapon of war - even when evidence is messy, survivors are gone, and individual perpetrators can’t be tied to individual acts”.

    That’s weird how are you going to prosecute if you can’t identify a perpetrator?

    That includes an evidentiary framework to categorise information based on its proximity to incidents and its evidentiary value, and a legal framework for establishing criminal responsibility for atrocities committed during mass attacks, even when an individual did not personally commit each specific act

    Oh, just all Palestinians are culpable for these alleged acts

    or were not aware of its commission by someone else.

    Even if they had nothing to do with them at all?

    The report concludes by saying that justice is “essential not only for individual victims but for affirming broader principles: that sexual violence in conflict is a serious violation of international law, that perpetrators will be held accountable, and that the international community will not allow such crimes to be committed with impunity”.

    Well the bad news is that the international community is allowing a modern holocaust to be committed with impunity, so these allegations are unlikely to go anywhere, but I guess the “good news” is that the people involved in the Dinah Project won’t be going to prison for being Israeli propagandists during that modern holocaust, while Israel isremoved POWs to death in camera.

    Sickening read. Fuck the BBC.
