The Australian Centre for International Justice (ACIJ) has cautioned authorities saying it had a duty to inform the public of what legal ramifications were at stake if citizens picked up arms to fight in the Israel-Hamas conflict.
“Australian nationals’ engagement in the conflict is occurring in the context of decades of widespread, serious, documented violations of international law by the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF),” said the ACIJ’s letter to Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil, Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus, and Australian Federal Police Commissioner Reece Kershaw, reported AAP.
