The global community is left confronting a bitter paradox: the world’s most militarily advanced democracies regularly violate the very laws they once championed
When powerful nations ignore or rewrite the rules of war, it emboldens others to do the same.

ICRC’s Rule 150 states: “A State responsible for violations of international humanitarian law is required to make full reparation for the loss or injury caused.” Rule 150 obligates nation states and non-state actors to compensate civilians.

A Warzone Called Home The human cost of war is not only borne by the dead, but by the living — the maimed, the displaced, the hungry, the unemployed. The economic losses routinely outstrip the GDPs of entire nations, setting back development by decades.

Future USG arms support to Israel must respect International Humanitarian Law, too many aid workers and too many civilians are being killed. The warring parties must plan for implementing IHL Rule 150: Reparations for Civilians impacted by Armed Conflict!!!

It’s up to us to reaffirm the humanity of civilians harmed in armed conflict and provide the forum to have their rights and needs heard and respected—not relocated by force and erased as a people. #ReparationsbuildJustice, #DAWN

The scale of the problem demands imagination and fundamental change to ensure that participants in armed conflict abide by international law. Whatever the difficulty and expense of standing up a global center for reparation, the cost of continued conflict is far greater.

Reparations efforts to date have lacked enforcement mechanisms and a calculus of harm—that is, globally accepted standards. But the challenge is obvious. The question is what we’re willing to do about it.

military expenditures topped $2.4 trillion in 2022. Outlays for the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs were about $42 billion—less than 2% of that! To say nothing of the human cost.

We need an international effort to help civilians rebuild their lives, disengage from conflict, and lay bare the real cost of war. Compensation to conflict victims is a critical tool. And it’s far more realistic and economically feasible than typically supposed.

Moving from conflict to reconciliation can only happen by addressing grievances and righting wrongs. Support to realign political interests and transition from a war economy is essential.

I join the rising chorus of those condemning the Trump Gaza video, which would be farcical if it weren’t so vicious and unhinged. Gaza needs statesmen, not property gangsters.
