There are two ways to assess the legality of the Israeli blockade in accordance with the San Remo Manual. The first is assessing the legality of the nature of the blockade. This means asking if the way in which the blockade exists is in accordance with the San Remo Manual's guidelines for sanctioned blockades. The second is by assessing the legality of the existence of the blockade. In essence, this means asking if the very existence of a naval blockade of Gaza by Israel is permitted under the guidelines of the San Remo Manual. Let's begin with the question of the nature of the blockade first. Part V Section H (95) of the San Remo Manual states that a blockade must be effective and cannot let certain vessels in while rejecting others. Israel has, since the start of the blockade, permitt...
The right to publish details about suspects in a criminal trial is protected under U.S. constitutional law due to the high value placed on freedom of the press. [...] the attorney general sent a letter to the London Times in response to the article, urging restraint in reporting information that could hurt investigations and warning that such reporting could lead to the paper being held in contempt of court.
An Israeli inquiry into last year's deadly commando raid on a six- ship flotilla seeking to break the country's blockade of the Gaza Strip released its findings Sunday, exonerating the government, the military, and the soldiers involved in the incident - a report that comes as the flotilla's organizers prepare an even larger convoy for this spring. The commission said that "the actions carried out by Israel on May 31, 2010, to enforce the naval blockade had the regrettable consequences of the loss of human life and physical injuries" but that "the actions taken were found to be legal pursuant to the rules of international law.
DULUTH A daylong police blockade of a Battle Ground-area neighborhood ended with the arrest of a man who had allegedly used a gun to threaten his girlfriend Saturday morning. Dewey Edward Walch, 45, was arrested on suspicion of first- degree assault after emerging from a camp trailer near his house at 808 N.E. 189th St. about 4:30 p.m.
JERUSALEM -- Israel and Egypt signaled a temporary easing of the Gaza Strip blockade Tuesday following harsh international condemnation of the deadly Israeli raid on an aid flotilla en route to the sealed-off Palestinian territory. Egypt said it was freely opening its border with Gaza for the first time in more than a year to allow humanitarian aid, setting off a mad rush to the crossing by thousands of residents, while an Israeli official said there is an "ongoing dialogue" with the international community on how to expand the amount of goods entering the area.
The British government's commitment to modernize its nuclear weapons arsenal is evident in billions of pounds being spent to upgrade production facilities at the Atomic Weapons Establishment in Aldermaston. In the face of this challenge, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) returned to its nonviolent direct action roots, organizing with the Aldermaston Women's Peace Camp, Block the Builders and others for the "Big Blockade" to kick off World Disarmament Week on Monday, October 27. It was the largest demonstration at the bomb factory in a decade. It was quite obvious that we had better preparation than the police. For the first hour, the adrenaline kept us warm, but the temperature was dropping rapidly, and by 10 a.m., legs and feet were numb with cold. We were cheered by the fact ...
BEIT HANOUN, Gaza Strip -- Some of the hundreds of Gaza factories idled by Israel's blockade are cranking up rusty machines to can tomatoes, mix concrete and press pills again now that Israel is allowing in raw materials for the first time in three years. But Israel's recent easing of the closure appears unlikely to get Gaza's battered economy back on its feet.
Next year will mark a half-century from the day when the United States teetered on the brink of nuclear war. The stakes were very high on Oct. 22, 1962, when President Kennedy, in an historic message to the nation, ordered a blockade around Cuba and threatened the Soviets if they did not remove missiles found there. Tensions were great as a nuclear war seemed imminent.
President Abraham Lincoln announced a blockade of Southern seaports months earlier in 1861. Enforcing it is another matter, requiring many more Union warships to police thousands of miles of coast against gunrunners and profiteers aiming to supply the less industrialized South with arms, weapons and troop supplies. The Associated Press reports in early December that work proceeds quickly on construction of several naval side-wheel steamers to be armed with powerful 11-inch guns and 150-pound rifled cannon. AP also announces six fast screw sloops-of-war are being built for the Navy: the Shenandoah, Sacramento and Ticonderoga among them.
KEREM SHALOM CROSSING, Israel - Israel is easing its blockade of Hamas-ruled Gaza to allow in virtually all consumer goods, items from household cleaners to timber that had been barred from import for years. But because Israel will continue to ban most travel and exports and restrict the import of desperately needed construction materials, the new rules are unlikely to restore the territory's devastated economy or allow rebuilding of all that was destroyed in last year's war.
