Jurist : Turkey breaches Rome Statute, it must be referred to ICC

The signs of the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries' attacks on the northern and eastern regions of Syria are mounting, coinciding with the presence of the Russian "guarantor" that sponsors the ceasefire in the region.

According to those familiar with the Syrian issue, there is a hidden policy between the Russian "guarantor", the Turkish occupation and the Damascus government, and they seek to undermine the peoples' gains.

The rights defenders point out that the crimes of the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries against the indigenous population in the occupied territories are a violation of international law.

The human rights defender and the co-chair of the Children Protection Office in Armed Conflicts, Khaled Jaber, says, "When the Russian guarantor remains silent about the crimes of the Turkish occupation, it thus extends the hand of the help to the Turkish occupation in order to commit more crimes against the peoples of the region."

He adds, "The Russian Federation is the first to sign international agreements, covenants and covenants, and its fingerprint is committing a clear violation of international norms."

Jaber says, focusing on international charters and covenants from a legal point of view regarding the Turkish occupation attacks on the regions of northern and eastern Syria, "The attacks of the Turkish occupation coincided with an explicit violation of the laws. Perhaps the clearest and first definition of military occupation in its legal sense was issued by the Hague Convention (1907), where it was mentioned. In Article (42) thereof, the land of the state is considered occupied, when it is under the occupation authority.

"International law deals with the issue of demographic change under the terms of displacement, eviction or forcible transfer, and includes it among war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity. The goal of the Turkish occupation is to bring about demographic change along the border strip in the occupied territories," Jabr continued.

Jaber pointed out that the forced displacement and demographic change sought by the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries, is known in international law as forced displacement and the forced and illegal eviction of a group of individuals and residents from the land on which they reside, a practice linked to cleansing and a procedure carried out by governments or fanatic groups towards an ethnic group or certain religious groups, and sometimes against many groups, in order to vacate certain lands for an alternative party or another group.

He notes that Articles 6, 7 and 8 of the Rome Statute (7-17-1998) explicitly consider forced displacement as a war crime.

Regarding the recent attacks of the Turkish occupation its mercenaries on the Ain Issa and Tal Tamr areas, and public and private property being bombed, bulldozed and transformed into military bases, Jabr stated that the Fourth Geneva Convention, in particular Article (53), stipulates that the occupation state is prohibited from exposure to public and private property and resources. "We find that prevention. The ban is clearly stated in Article (53) of the Fourth Geneva Convention.

On the crimes committed by the Turkish occupation, Gabr indicated that these crimes are condemned in international law, and Article 47 of the Fourth Hague Convention stipulates a legal ban on these violations and crimes, and said, "The Turkish occupation and its mercenaries do not care about international law, charters and covenants and agreements, and have committed all these violations are in front of international human rights organizations. "

At the end of his speech, Khaled Jabr called on international human rights organizations to condemn the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries, and to transfer the perpetrators of violations and crimes, especially the Turkish occupation, to the International Criminal Court in order to achieve international justice.
