Global 195 is a great idea, but there's a flaw. It's the same method of enforcement as other arrests. We’re back to protests to demand our states make these arrests. But the ‘allies’ are not sovereign, and the right to protest is being eroded.

In a press release published today, the scope of the ‘Global 195’ coalition will include individuals who have fought in the IDF, as well as figures spanning the entire Israeli military and political chain of command, from senior policymakers to operational personnel.
The main source of evidence used by the coalition has been gathered by ICJP over the last 18 months, as part of its ‘Justice for Gaza’ investigation. This includes 135 first-hand eyewitness testimonies supported by open-source intelligence (OSINT).
In a speech during today's press conference, ICJP director Tayab Ali said: “Under international law states have a duty to investigate and prosecute war crimes, yet these obligations have been systematically neglected. The launch of Global 195 is a necessary legal intervention to remedy this failure.
"By activating domestic legal mechanisms across multiple jurisdictions, we are ensuring that those responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Gaza are subject to legal accountability and no longer have anywhere to hide."
"Impunity for grave international crimes is not legally sustainable. States have an obligation to act, and where they fail, civil society must step in to ensure justice is pursued.”
