Deciphering the Relevance of United Nations and International Law in Peace Efforts: A Case Study of Palestine-Israel Conflict

Abstract

The Israel-Palestine conflict stands as a long-standing and complex dispute over the territory in the history with continuous waves of atrocities, international complexities and humanitarian crisis. The conflict has drawn worldwide attention and led to the intervention from various international organizations including the United Nations (UN), United Nations Security Council (UNSC), International Court of Justice (ICJ) and International Criminal Court (ICC) with the aim of finding a permanent solution. At its center, the conflict raises basic issues connected with international law, human rights, and humanitarian law and allegations of genocide. The present study aims to analyze the efficacy and highlights the challenges of these organizations in resolving the conflict thus far. The study takes a qualitative look and extensive literature review to identify the inadequacies for areas of improvement of international organizations and international law in resolving Palestine-Israel conflict.
