Protracted armed conflicts, invisible civilian Suffering and international law (II)

Abstract

The United Nations Security Council receives communications from Israel and Palestine almost weekly, telling the story of their civilians’ indescribable affliction. Fifty were sent from August 2013 to July 2014 – the 65th and 66th years of the conflict.¹ In one letter after another, both states expressed not a single word of concern for the other’s civilians.
