2/3 Middle East Eye 9 hours ago (5am 2nd of May 2025 Australian Eastern Standard Time) Amnesty International has described Israel's actions in Gaza as a "livestreamed genocide", warning that the war is one of the many atrocities showcasing the dangers of human rights backsliding on a global scale. The annual report warns of the infiltration of authoritarian practices, the crackdown on dissent globally and the overall annihilation of international law. "Year after year, we have warned of the dangers of human rights backsliding. But events of the past 12 months - not least Israel's livestreamed but unheeded genocide of Palestinians in Gaza - have laid bare just how hellish the world can be for so many when the most powerful states jettison international law and disregard multilateral institutions," said Agnes Callamard, Amnesty International's secretary general. Callamard added that as "authoritarian laws and practices" increase worldwide to satisfy the interest of a small portion of people, "governments and civil society must work with urgency to lead humanity back to safer ground". According to Amnesty, with the escalation of conflicts, state forces and armed groups have "acted brazenly", committing war crimes and violations of international humanitarian law that have "devastated the lives of millions".
3/3 The organisation highlighted Israel's war waged on Palestinians in Gaza and the systemic apartheid and occupation of the West Bank, which it said have "turned increasingly violent". In early December, an Amnesty investigation found that Israel is carrying out a genocide in the Gaza Strip. The report, titled "You Feel Like You Are Subhuman': Israel's Genocide Against Palestinians in Gaza' is based on research and legal analysis carried out since October 2023 and concludes that Israel's war on the enclave is being carried out with "the specific intent to destroy Palestinians in Gaza". Amnesty International is one of the highest-profile rights groups to conclude Israel's actions in Gaza meet the definition of genocidal acts as laid out under the Genocide Convention.
