ABSTRACT

“It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.” Voltaire. Though philosophies and philosophers ended up explicating the shortcomings of war, human expansionist and realistic international behavior resulted in war. Nevertheless the ultimate bearers are the civilians exemplified by the nuclear destruction in World War II, the terrorist attack on the world trade centre, the war in order to circumscribe Ukraine are some evidentiary accrediting human life suffers and humanity halts. The Israel-Palestine war is an outcome of failed political tactics and international agency resulting in grave violation of the international human and humanitarian laws. The Lives of the residents belonging to the warring zone as well the distant civilians have been strategically deprived of their self-ascertainment rights of movement and property and right of livelihood. The deprivation has been highlighted yet been unaddressed; this paper positions the redressing national agencies in the occupied Palestinian land by Israel and by the international courts. The recognition of a state internationally deprived from thorough protection and on the other hand extremist ideology of infringing one’s right to sustain and protect. Both the states have tangled geographically and communally leaving no space for peace resolutions to exhibit and resort. This is an analytical study to the currently lime-lighted decades old war in contravention to the international laws and peace regulating mechanisms.
