Over 500 scholars and practitioners from various fields have called for the UN General Assembly to suspend Israel's membership, drawing parallels to the 1974
suspension of apartheid South Africa. This call is rooted in Israel's persistent violations of international law over seven decades, including breaches of UN resolutions and the UN Charter itself.
The scholars argue that Israel has shown contempt for key UN resolutions since 1948, such as Resolution 194, which supports
the right of return for Palestinians, and Resolution 181, which guarantees Palestinian state sovereignty. These were prerequisites for Israel's UN membership under Resolution 273 (III). Israel's genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, alongside its long-standing occupation of Palestinian territories, contravene numerous Security Council resolutions, specifically justifying expulsion under Article 25 of the UN Charter.
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has also weighed in with significant rulings. In 2004, it advised Israel to respect Palestinian self-determination, and in July 2024, it declared Israel's occupation and annexation policies illegal. Despite these judicial interventions, Israel's defiance continues, notably in the case brought by South Africa accusing Israel, with undeniable evidence, of genocide under the 1948 Genocide Convention. The ICJ found that Israel had breached this convention, issuing orders for Israel to halt actions in Rafah and ensure humanitarian aid reaches Gaza, orders which Israel has not adhered to, and indeed flaunted.
Israel's illegal actions have extended to obstructing UN operations, including banning UNRWA, killing its staff, attacking peacekeepers, and barring UN investigators, which underscores a broader assault on the international legal framework. The international community hss emphasized that Israel's actions not only infringe upon legal obligations but also challenge the integrity of the global legal system itself.
The argument for unseating Israel hinges on its failure to represent the Palestinian population, akin to the rationale behind South Africa's suspension. The international community asserts that allowing Israel to remain in the General Assembly while it commits such violations undermines the UN's legitimacy. They advocate for suspension as a means to uphold the UN's foundational principles of peace, security, and self-determination, warning that failure to act could precipitate a crisis in the international legal order.
