At the 17th Al Jazeera Forum held in Doha, experts and participants stressed the urgent requirement to ensure that war criminals are held accountable, warning that impunity poses a serious threat to international law. The discussion focused particularly on the Palestinian issue, which many participants deemed a critical examination of the commitment to enforcing legal standards and justice on a global scale.

Within the session titled "The Palestinian Cause: Challenges and Opportunities for Achieving Accountability and Rule of Law", it was noted that the past two years have witnessed systematic planning and gradual execution of acts that may be described as genocide. The participants pointed out that the evidence of such crimes is now presented before the international community without any attempt at evasion, urging that it must be addressed vigorously by relevant authorities.

The discussions culminated in calls for countries to adhere to legal enforcement mechanisms to deliver justice and counter attempts to justify human rights violations that mislead public opinion. The conviction was clear that impunity for perpetrators undermines the foundations of global justice and threatens humanitarian conscience, with the Special Rapporteur on the human rights situation in occupied Palestinian territories calling the facets of genocide unmistakable.
