US legal rights group: We commit to holding Biden admin accountable for genocide
The Center for Constitutional Rights has said it remains committed to fighting alongside Palestinians for accountability for the US-sponsored Israeli genocide being perpetrated against Palestinians in Gaza, almost one year since it began.
“While US courts have so far failed in their constitutional responsibility to serve as a check on abusive executive power, we remind all who have chosen to fund and fuel Israel’s relentless, escalating violence, that there is no statute of limitations for genocide, and we will pursue you until justice comes,” the organization said in a statement.
The group highlighted that in the last year, with full US support, Israel has manufactured a famine, blocked lifesaving humanitarian aid, turned most of Gaza into rubble, bombed countless civilian targets including schools, hospitals, and places of worship, killed more than 41,000 Palestinians – nearly half of whom are children – and injured more than 96,000.
“The Biden administration has provided unconditional and indispensable support for Israel’s genocide, in defiance of the law, universally-recognized international norms, some of its own officials’ recommendations, and the outcry of the vast majority of people in the world, including most Americans.”
