(in international law) Obligations in whose fulfilment all states have a legal interest because their subject matter is of importance to the international community as a whole. It follows from this that the breach of such an obligation is of concern not only to the victimized state but also to all the other members of the international community.
Thus, in the event of a breach of these obligations, every state must be considered justified in invoking (probably through judicial channels) the responsibility of the guilty state committing the internationally wrongful act. It has been suggested that an example of an erga omnes obligation is that of a people's right to self-determination.

He says Israel's displacement of people in Gaza and Lebanon is part of its plan to ethnically cleanse populations.

โ ๐ฅ OHCHR - Press Conference: Safety of Journalists
Santiago Mazaโs riveting, eye-opening State of Silence follows four such committed journalists โ Jesรบs Medina, Juan de Dios Garcรญa Davish, Marรญa de Jesรบs Peters and March Vizcarra โ who recall their experiences and express their strong commitment to following leads despite the constant threat to themselves and their families. In a profession where they must continually balance their career with their personal safety, they serve as what Medina calls an โamplifierโ for the people living in what they see as a โnarco politicsโ state, where the line between the law and crime is blurred and the continuing threats to journalists have created zones of silence that should never be tolerated.
Since the start of 2024, 61 journalists have already lost their lives in the line of duty. Alarmingly,ย only 15 percent of these cases have been investigated and prosecuted. Over 300 journalistsย continue to be imprisoned worldwide for doing their legitimate and important workย .

A short snapshot, this committee โฌ๏ธ
The Committee against Torture (CAT) is the body of 10 independent experts that monitors implementation of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment by its States parties.
And if our paths,
may have crossed,
pretty, plausible,
logical, thought..
A team from the Subcommittee on Prevention of Torture visited the State of Palestine from 10 to 21 September 2023, during which time they visited 18 places of detention in various locations across the West Bank, including prisons, police stations, security force facilities, a psychiatric hospital and a military detention centre. In line with State policy, Palestine cooperated closely and consistently with the team during its visit, also hoping to benefit from international experiences in combating torture. To that end, a series of meetings was organized with high-ranking officials โ including the Prime Minister and the Minister of the Interior โ as well as meetings with other authorities, such as the security services, the Supreme Judicial Council, the Prosecutor General and the Justice Commission of the Security Forces. During the course of the visit, the team was also shown the draft decree-law, as a way of ensuring that Palestine was duly fulfilling its obligations as a party to the Optional Protocol and of benefiting from the guidance of international experts in the establishment of torture-prevention mechanisms.1 The Subcommitteeโs visiting team was thus able to review Decree-Law No. 25 and the draft decree-law intended to amend it, and to express its comments thereon to the governmental panel. The panel then began its examination of those comments but, due to Israeli attacks against both the Gaza Strip and the West Bank since 7 October 2023, all Palestinian efforts have been concentrated in that direction and work on the amendments has had to be suspended until the current escalation and its consequences have ceased.

Gaza has been described over the last 15 years as a largeย open-air prison, with an air, sea and land blockade choking 2.2 million people within 365 sq km. Most young people have never left Gaza. Today, this prison is becoming the graveyard of a population trapped between war, siege and deprivation.
