ICAI/HOKOK strives to achieve justice and equality all around the globe, wherever it may be, indifferent to any authority or public figures that are practicing injustice in any form. We believe that the guiding principles of the United Nations and the articles of International Law are the base, the catalyst, and the only hope to achieve our goals. FILED COMPLAINTS
HOKOK seeks through its actions and activities- to be part of civil society movements that work to create a world in which peace, freedom and dignity are the norm, not the exceptions. In addition to conducting conferences, training to human rights defenders, and workshops, HOKOK has also filed a number of complaints before the International Criminal Council in The Hague, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg,the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany, the High Court of Madrid and the Lebanese Courts, against over 344 defendants; amongst them are complaints for:
On July 18, 2014 a number of European lawyers, members of the International Coalition against Impunity (HOKOK) have moved to The Hague according to an appointment with the ICC Court in La Haye to lodge a complaint against the Zionist entity, members of its government and some of the Israeli military leaders, in addition to some of the British government members and the US President for committing genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes against the Palestinian people in general and the people of Gaza in particular.
The complaint refers to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court and the international conventions. It also stresses on the authority of the ICC Court to hear this case since it became unambiguous that Palestine is a State after passing Resolution no. 67/19 that recognizes Palestine as a State. Recognizing the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC), the complaint refers as well to the declaration lodged, in 2009, by the Palestinian Minister of Justice asking the prosecutor of the Court to initiate the investigations against the Zionist criminals, to President Mahmoud Abbas’ statement in which he declared his intention to sue the Zionist entity before the International Criminal Court, and to the status of the United kingdom as a State Party to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. ICAI/HOKOK has called on all local and international human rights’ organizations to defend the people of Gaza by filing more complaints before the International Criminal Court and other international courts having jurisdiction over such case. ICAI/HOKOK has also called on the united Nations and all medical humanitarian organizations, such as the“International Committee of the Red Cross” and “Doctors Without Borders” to move immediately to Gaza to do their humanitarian duty; otherwise they are accomplices in the crimes of murder and genocide committed in Gaza. 19/05/2015
ICAI/HOKOK denounces the continuous indiscriminate attacks committed by terrorist organizations in Syria in government-held territory with car bombs, mortars, and rockets. The attacks have killed and maimed hundreds of civilians and destroyed civilian infrastructure in violation of the laws of war. HOKOK urges the international community to put an end to these horrific massacres committed by the terrorist groups in Syria; particularly, IS and Jabhat el-Nusra 14/05/2015
The International Coalition against Impunity (HOKOK) condemns police torture of criminal suspects in China where some detainees have been forced to spend days shackled to “tiger chairs,” without sleeping and food so their limbs become swollen. We heard appalling stories of detainees being hung by the wrists, shackled for years, and terrorized by “cell bosses”, yet having no real means to hold their tormentors to account, noting that the Chinese rule prohibits the use of evidence directly obtained through torture. Therefore, HOKOK calls on the United Nations to move immediately to stop these legal violations against suspects. 14/05/2015
The International Coalition against Impunity (HOKOK) condemns the unnecessary, excessive, and even malicious force used against prisoners with mental disabilities by jail and prison staff throughout the United States. Correctional staff have deluged prisoners with painful chemical sprays, shocked them with powerful electric stun weapons, and strapped them for days in restraining chairs or beds. Staff has broken prisoners’ jaws, noses, ribs; left them with lacerations requiring stitches, second-degree burns, deep bruises, and damaged internal organs. In some cases, the force used has led to their death. ICAI/HOKOK notes that jails and prisons can be dangerous, damaging, and even deadly places for men and women with mental health problems. Force is used against prisoners even when, because of their illness, they cannot understand or comply with staff orders. 11/05/2015
ICAI/HOKOK denounces the Saudi Arabia-led coalition’s blockade of Yemen with the 10-country coalition, which has United States logistics and intelligence support which are keeping out fuel needed for the Yemeni population’s survival in violation of the laws of war. Yemen is in urgent need of fuel to power generators for hospitals overwhelmed with wounded from the fighting and to pump water to civilian residences. Therefore HOKOK calls on the competent authorities to act immediately and allow safe and speedy distribution of fuel supplies to the civilian population because the overall situation in Yemen is dire especially after most of Yemen’s airports and harbors are not open to civilian traffic. 28/10/2014
ICAI/HOKOK calls on Bahrain’s authorities to immediately release Nabeel Rajab, a prominent human rights activist who has been detained over tweets he posted that were deemed insulting to the Ministries of Interior and Defense. HOKOK considers that convicting Nabeel Rajab breaches justice, yet it is a further proof that respect for the right to freedom of expression in Bahrain is under attack. He is a prisoner of conscience and must be released immediately and the charges against him must be dropped. Bahrain government is prosecuting anyone merely for peacefully expressing their political views which is a clear form of repression and a blatant violation of their rights. 21/10/2014
The International Coalition against Impunity (HOKOK) condemns the murder of Press TV’s correspondent in Turkey, Serena Shim, in a suspicious car accident near the Turkey-Syria border just because she choose to report the truth as it is instead of the version proposed by the US and the West. HOKOK suspects the Turkish authorities were involved in her death, as she said that Turkish intelligence authorities had accused her of being a “spy” and that she was being closely followed, after she made reports on Turkey’s role in aiding ISIS terrorists and allowing them to freely cross into Syria. Serena had obtained stories of terrorists infiltrating into Syria through the Turkish border and images of terrorists crossing entering Syria in NGOs’ trucks, showing how Ankara collaborated with those terrorists (ISIS) and blocked Kurdish fighters from entering Kobane. HOKOK calls for a thorough investigation because Serena was assassinated by Erdogan’s regime which oppresses the Kurdish population and supports ISIS. 08/05/2015
The International Coalition against Impunity (HOKOK) calls on the Bahraini authorities to make an independent investigation regarding security forces’ use to excessive force to quell unrest in Jaw Prison on March 10, 2015, and mistreating prisoners in the aftermath and to hold to account security force members or other officials found to have used unlawful force, as some recently released Jaw Prison inmates said they saw security forces fire teargas into prison buildings and systematically beat inmates as they cleared cells when quelling the unrest on March 10, in addition to subjecting prisoners, including some held on political grounds, to physical and psychological abuse and did not allow them medical treatment for their injuries, including head and leg wounds. HOKOK appeals the authorities to allow medical access to the prison to treat the prisoners. Article 54 of the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners states that “Officers of the institutions shall not, in their relations with the prisoners, use force except in self-defense or in cases of attempted escape, or active or passive physical resistance to an order based on law or regulations. Officers who have recourse to force must use no more than is strictly necessary”, noting that Bahrain has ratified and is bound by the UN Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment 27/04/2015
ICAI/HOKOK condemns the horrors endured by at least 42 Muslim herders, mostly women and girls who are being held captive by anti-balaka fighters in the Central African Republic and are at risk of sexual violence. There are reports that many others may also be held. United Nations peacekeepers and the government should urgently act to free them. They have endured the horrors during 14 months of captivity in Pondo, a village in the southwest. HOKOK also condemns the anti-balaka for killing two boys, ages about 6 and 7, and raping three young women, one of whom became ill and died in captivity. Her year-old baby died of malnutrition 22/04/2015
ICAI/HOKOK deplores the grievous accidents that befell illegal migrants travelling to Europe in ships; as lately, nearly 850 migrants had perished in a ship capsizing this Sunday off the coast of Libya, in addition to the wreck of a ship carrying more than 300 migrants on Monday near Greek coasts. HOKOK considers that these accidents entertain doubts regarding the reason behind ships sinking and this unusual recurring tragedy that seems to aim at getting rid of these migrants by some countries unknown to us. Therefore, HOKOK calls on the United Nations to conduct the necessary investigations in this regard since it is abnormal that thousands of lives are threatened and such large boats drown once they reach a certain point in the sea. 07/04/2015
The International Coalition against Impunity (HOKOK) denounces the crimes and the deterioration of the situation in the Palestinian refugee camp of Yarmouk near the Syrian capital, Damascus, as intense clashes continue between Palestinian factions and the ISIL Takfiri terrorists who stormed the camp on April 1, in cooperation with al-Qaeda anf al-Nusra Front. HOKOK has called on concerned authorities to urgently exercise their authority and influence in order to end the fighting in Yarmouk for the sake of civilian lives and to alleviate human suffering. As well, the United Nations shall ensure that all civilians are protected in accordance with the UN charter and international law. 10/10/2014
The International Coalition against Impunity (HOKOK) denounces the Suicide bombing that targeted Yemen's Houthi group and an army camp killing at least 67 people, including children, and injuring at least 80 people, in two separate attacks on Thursday, hours after a political crisis forced the new prime minister to step down. 09/10/2014
The International Coalition against Impunity (HOKOK) condemns the terrorist practices of the Zionist troops and settlers who profane Islamic and Christian sanctities, including Al-Aqsa mosque on Wednesday October 8. HOKOK condemns as well the Arab and international silence that incite the Zionists to continue their abuses against the Palestinians without fearing any deterrent actions to prevent them from pursuing their crimes. HOKOK calls on the Arab people to stand by Palestinians to resist against Zionist practices that violate all international laws. 06/03/2015
Nigeria’s Boko Haram, or the “Group of the People of Sunna for Preaching and Jihad”, echoes the terrorist group ISIS by killing and slaughtering people in Nigeria, committing the most heinous massacres in the name of Islam. Recently, the Takfiri group Boko Haram committed a massacre in northeast Nigeria killing 68 people, many of them children. Thus, ICAI/HOKOK condemns in the strongest terms the terrorist attacks conducted by Boko Haram, and expresses its deep concern regarding the activities of the Islamist extremist group, especially the shocking suicide bombings across northern Nigeria. HOKOK calls on the security council to put an end for these terrorist groups to immediately and unequivocally cease all hostilities and all abuses of human rights and violations of international humanitarian law, particularly violence against civilian populations, notably women and children, demanding the immediate and unconditional release of all those abducted by the terrorist group. 12/05/2015
ICAI/HOKOK condemns the campaign planned by the Saudi Authorities since 2013 to detain and deport hundreds of thousands of migrants. Many of them experienced serious abuses during mass expulsions including detention, beating and deportation. Many arrived back in their countries destitute, unable to buy food or pay for transportation to their home areas, because Saudi officials arbitrarily confiscated their personal property. Therefore, Saudi Arabia should immediately halt mass expulsions, abolish the exit visa requirement to obtain permission from the employer to leave the country, sign and ratify the Refugee Convention, enact refugee law consistent with international standards and establish fair asylum procedures for foreign nationals who may be at risk of persecution in their home countries. It must also comply with international law, which requires treating migrants with dignity at all times and not returning anyone who would face a real risk of serious abuse on return. 19/02/2015
The International Coalition against Impunity (HOKOK) condemns the series of attacks committed by terrorist groups on Tuesday February 17. HOKOK denounces the murder of at least 10 Afghan policemen and injury of eight when four Taliban terrorists carried out a suicide bomb attack on the police headquarters in Puli Alam city, just south of Kabul. As well, HOKOK condemns another suicide attack claimed by the Pakistani Taliban linked to al-Qaeda, in front of the police headquarters in Lahore, the largest city in eastern Pakistan, where at least five were dead and 17 wounded. The organization also denounces the terrorist attack in Boulaaba in the governorate of Kasserine where four Tunisian police were killed. 21/01/2015
Due to the continuous massacres and crimes committed by the Kingdom of Bahrain and its terrorist regime which practices the worst kinds of detention, torture and murder as well as all the crimes witnessed by the peaceful people of Bahrain, especially that these crimes are classified under war crimes and crimes against humanity, and they are committed against a specific denomination to commit a genocide. The International Coalition against Impunity (HOKOK) has decided to make some active steps to help the Bahraini people and to show the world the brutality of the terrorist Bahraini regime. In this regard, HOKOK will travel this weekend to the United Nations in New York to participate in the first annual conference of non-governmental organizations. During this conference, held between January 24 and January 30, 2015, HOKOK will deliver a speech and call on putting an end to the massacres and crimes against the people of Bahrain and urge as well the countries and non-governmental organizations to participate in the conference and condemn the Bahraini regime. Moreover, ICAI/HOKOK that includes a large number of Human Rights activist lawyers of different nationalities will hold a large protest in Barcelona, on Saturday, March 21, 2015 at 12 noon in Catalonia Square. Images and movies will be displayed as a confirmation to the crimes and evidence to be provided by HOKOK to the competent international courts regarding the crimes committed by the King of Bahrain and a number of Bahraini officials with the complicity of a number of European and Arab officials against the defenseless people of Bahrain. HOKOK wishes that you support it and participate with it in this important event... Anyone wishing to participate in, or support this event, or inquire about anything, please contact us at: icaihokok1@gmail.com. 13/02/2014
The International Coalition against Impunity (HOKOK) denounces the oppression against protesters in the Bahraini capital al-Manama, leading to a number of injuries during the commemoration of the anniversary of the Bahraini revolution. As well, HOKOK condemns the arrest of activist Jalila as-Sayyed Amin by Bahraini regime forces in al-Sahla region after raiding her house while she was sleeping and forced her out of the house into an unknown area, in addition to raiding the house of another activist Mariam Sahwan after they messed up with her house stuff and broke the house doors. |

Moreover, HOKOK stresses that these Saudi crimes of killing and destroying Yemen, as well as using internationally prohibited weapons, violate the international legislation and the Charter of the United Nations since they are considered as crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide. It also emphasizes that this embodies the malice and hatred of Saudi regime towards Yemeni people and Yemen in general, and the desire to kill and destroy everything, in addition to the bloodthirstiness and criminality of this regime and carelessness towards religion provisions, international humanitarian law and the rights of neighbors. HOKOK emphasizes that it documents these crimes to be attached to the complaint submitted by it before the International Criminal Court against the Saudi aggression, calling on the peoples of the whole world to support the Yemeni people and to hold protests in streets to reject this aggression and to make pressure on governments to stop the crimes and massacres committed against the Yemeni people. 25/06/2015

In this context, HOKOK demands the perpetrators be brought to justice. 17/06/2015
ICAI/HOKOK condemns the sentence of four-year imprisonment against Sheikh Ali Al Salman. It calls to reconsider this decision which will breach Bahraini people’s rights and will leave no room for any understanding between the people and the government. HOKOK finds that Bahraini authorities must be more understanding towards its people and give them all their rights, especially the right to freedom of opinion and expression stipulated in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers”. 12/06/2015

In Gaza, which is still recovering nine months after last summer's devastating Israeli war, Zionist troops on the border fired live rounds at Nakba Day protesters, wounding four. In fact, after the Zionist entity's establishment in 1948, more than 760,000 Palestinians, estimated today to number around 5.5 million with their descendants, were violently expelled from their homes, with the catastrophe marked every May 15. 25/09/2014
The International Coalition against Impunity (HOKOK) has sent a letter to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Mr. Ban Ki-moon, urging him to put pressure on Turkish and Qatari governments to release the Lebanese soldiers kidnapped in Arsal, as all the investigations carried out by HOKOK’s specialists have revealed the complicity of Turkey and Qatar in a direct way and with the help of Lebanese MPs and ministers as well as individuals in Arsal, aiming at inciting sectarian strife and helping the IS to maintain control over Lebanon.

HOKOK considers that his detention is meant to stifle free speech and political freedoms in Bahrain, as Sheikh Salman had constantly called for dialogue and peaceful procedures. Therefore, ICAI warns that the extension of the opposition leader’s arrest is a dangerous escalation, calling on the peoples of Bahrain and the Arab world to hold peaceful demonstrations to condemn his detention and to support all his rightful and human positions. As well, HOKOK calls for the immediate release of Sheikh Salman and all opposition leaders who have been detained for the peaceful expression of their position.

ICAI Members Call for Arab Awakening Against Regional Oppression The International Coalition Against Impunity "ICAI/HOKOK", held a press conference on April 2012 to cover the disregarded human rights violations and negligence, along with other unsolved cases. In presence of lawyers and prominent law figures, Head of ICAI, Lawyer May al-Khansa called for the meeting in good faith to shed the light on this issue. On his part, Head of the Arab Bar Union Lawyer, Omar Zein, asserted that the time has come where the international community should stand against the injustice witnessed in the world. "We should struggle to free and defend the Arab lands. The struggle should be set against Zionism, which aims to divide the Arab countries, as it succeeded in Sudan," he added. He further urged unity between the Arab and International communities, to confirm a united stance in favor of the Arab world. Moreover, Head of the Lebanese Association for the Detainees and Freed Detainees Atallah Hammoud, praised the conference held in Lebanon, and noted the daily "Israeli" human rights violations in the occupied Palestinian territories. "Among the human rights violations are the practices against Iraqi, Afghan, and Palestinian prisoners, in addition to the unsolved cases of thousands of injured and missing people as a result of the occupations in Lebanon, Iraq and Afghanistan," Atallah Hamoud said. He urged that these issues be directly followed up in international courts so that the truth would be revealed. On his part, Spanish Lawyer Gracia, also member of the ICAI, asserted that Lebanon respects international legitimacy, hoping that the rest of the world would be as such committed to implementing human rights laws. He indicated that ICAI has filed lawsuits in international courts, to help boost human rights, especially after Lebanon's July 2006 war and the current crisis in Bahrain. "We hope that the International Criminal Court prosecutes the criminals; which is not a political role, it is only a legal role to implement laws," the Spanish lawyer added. Among the figures present at the conference were Iraqi activist Montazar al-Zaidi, who highlighted the devastating human rights violations which had occurred in his country. On another hand, representative of the UN Human Rights Commission Ambassador Haitham abou Saeed was also present at the conference, and stressed the importance of taking all human rights violations' file to international courts. He furthermore added that human rights organizations of all countries should file recommendations to their parliaments so that lawsuits should be taken more seriously. Al-Khansa: ICAI to Follow up Unsolved Lawsuits at ICC Lawyer May al-Khansa on the lawsuit filed against the "Israeli" aggressions, revealed that there is a decision to prosecute all those responsible for the massacres occurred by the "Israeli" enemy in Palestine and Lebanon. "However, [José Luis Moreno] Ocampo [Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC)] wouldn't sign the decision for it to be implemented," al-Khansa added. "Now, Ocampo promised he will be announcing the start of investigations," she added. "Next month, an ICAI delegation will visit the ICC to directly look into the fate of our lawsuits, as no response has been delivered to us," al-Khansa further regarded. The conference ended with hopes that it would be a "new start" to effective moves towards respecting human rights against the US-Zionist hegemony. Chinese Diplomat: Each Country Should Respect Bahrainis' Legitimate Rights From the Far East, Director of Political Section in the Chinese Embassy in Lebanon Pang Jianhao, was also present at the conference to show solidarity with the human rights movements. "In my personal opinion, while participating in this conference, I heard many speeches regarding what has happened in Bahrain, and I discovered that there are a lot of people who don't know what is taking place in that country," the Chinese diplomat stated. "I believe that each person and each country should respect the legitimate rights of the Bahraini people, because they only aim at gaining freedom and living in dignity," he said. In addition, Jianhao said, "All nations in the world have the right to seek a better future, and I express sympathy with the Bahraini people." "Although it is not my field of expertise, but there are some organizations in China, mainly non-governmental organizations, that are concerned with human rights affairs, especially in the Middle East," he went on to say. It is not a matter of concern as much as it is a matter of acknowledging the situation and solving it. The people of Bahrain, Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, Somalia, and other Arab countries are suffering the misfortune of having West-backed governments. The international community should wake up and realize the truth; people are suffering by the hands of the world's silence. 22/05/2015

The International Coalition against Impunity (HOKOK) condemns what happens in Mali as the children pay a high price in ongoing conflict. Since the beginning of the conflict in January 2012, children have been recruited to fight by both pro-government militias and armed opposition groups. A number of children suspected of belonging to armed groups have been arrested by the Malian authorities and are now being held in detention in both the Bamako civil prison and the Bamako gendarmerie Camp I. They receive no access to lawyers in detention or family visits. ICAI/HOKOK calls on all parties to the conflict to put an end to ongoing human rights violations and for a prompt investigation into all crimes committed against international law and pursuing criminals.

The International Coalition against Impunity has warned the Qatari authorities of allowing U.S. aircrafts to take off from Arab Qatari lands, especially that these aircrafts are carrying lethal bombs labeled (smart bombs) and delivering them to the Zionist army; if not, Qatar will be considered as co-conspirator in the crimes of genocide and war crimes; as well, its name will be added to the defendants in the complaint filed before the international Criminal Court in The Hague and recorded on July 18, 2014 with no. 14/223. This step will be in the scope of the legal campaign carried out by our international organization to condemn the perpetrators of the massacres, impose a cease-fire in Gaza, and guarantee not sending arms to the Zionist entity that commits genocide against defenseless people.
HOKOK’s chief, the attorney-at-law May El Khansa, affirms that the organization will pursue every perpetrator or co-conspirator, whether Zionist, Arabic, European, or of whatever nationality before the ICC COURT in The Hague and a large number of courts that have jurisdiction over such crimes, including the court in the United States as their sentences and crime are one and similar to those of Zionists.

On June 02, 2014, ICAI /HOKOK has deplored the Bahraini authority policies which continue in the persecution of the Shiite community in different ways. After the demolition of 35 Shia mosques during the declaration of a state of emergency, the government of Bahrain has revoked the citizenship of 31 Shiites. As well, the court has issued a ruling to dissolve the Islamic Scholars Council and liquidate its assets, which is a clear violation of religious freedoms.
On May 29, 2014, ICAI/HOKOK has praised highly the free and honest presidential elections that took place in Egypt, considering it as an important step towards the implementation of human rights principles stipulated in the international conventions and international laws.
On May 14, 2014 ICAI/HOKOK has expressed its utmost concern for the extra judicial killing of a fourteen year old boy called Sayed Mahmoud Sayed Mohsen Sayed Ahmad, by the Bahraini security forces after they attacked the funeral procession, in which Sayed Mahmoud Sayed Mohsen was participating, using shotgun pellets and tear gas.
June 11, 2014 - The International Coalition against Impunity (HOKOK) welcomes the joint statement regarding human rights in Bahrain, presented by Switzerland, on behalf of a cross-regional coalition of 46 countries. The statement cites a list of grave concerns including the continued ill-treatment and torture of detainees in police custody, the repression of demonstrations, the failure to guarantee fair trials, the harassment and imprisonment of human rights defenders and journalists, the increased restrictions of the freedoms of peaceful assembly and association, the stripping of citizenship from activists and the lack of accountability for human rights violations. HOKOK joins these States in urging the government of Bahrain to release all prisoners detained for exercising their human rights.
June 05, 2014 - The International Coalition against Impunity (HOKOK) denounces the arrest of Firas Al-Saffar, a 15 year old student, from his home early in the morning, on June 1, 2014, before going to school, by members of the security forces, because of “filming unauthorized gatherings”. ICAI/HOKOK calls on the United Nations to put pressure on Bahraini authorities to release Firas Al-Saffar and all detained children in the Bahraini prisons.
June 23, 2014 - ICAI/HOKOK calls upon
the United Nations to prevent terrorist armed groups in Syria from using children as young as 15 to fight
in battles and to hold accountable governments supporting these armed groups and
therefore committing war crimes. HOKOK indicts these extremist groups,
including Jabhat al-Nusra and Daesh, for recruiting children through
free schooling campaigns that include weapons training, and giving them
dangerous tasks, including suicide bombing missions.
June 24, 2014 - ICAI/HOKOK condemns the suicide bombing that took place around midnight Tuesday in the Tayouneh area, in Lebanon. It is a cowardly terrorist act that the states sponsoring terrorism and funding it with money and weapons shall bear responsibility. HOKOK considers that this heinous crime committed by Takfirists is a part of the Takfiri terrorism against the Arab and Muslim world, which is clearly witnessed today in Syria and Iraq. In fact, these crimes serve only the Zionist enemy and his plans to destabilize the security and stability in Lebanon and the region. HOKOK offers its condolences to the family of the martyr, in the General Security, Abdul Kareem Hodroj who saved the region from an inevitable massacre and wishes the wounded a speedy recovery.
The International Coalition against Impunity (HOKOK) condemns in strongest terms the heinous crime committed by the Zionist terrorism against the 16-year-old boy Mohammed Hussein Abu Khdeir who was kidnapped by the Zionists in front of his house in Shuafat; they tortured and killed him and burnt his body, and then threw him in jungles near the village of Deir Yassin. HOKOK calls on the UN to form a committee to investigate this brutal crime and bring the perpetrators and criminals to trial.
Due to the gruesome crimes committed by the Zionist entity government and its people in the Occupied Palestine, which are crimes against humanity punishable under international criminal law, ICAI/HOKOK condemns the crimes committed against the Palestinian people and finds strange the international silence. HOKOK calls on the UN Secretary-General, Mr. Ban Ki-moon, to take the appropriate measures to stop this brutal aggression. Based on the vow taken by the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Monday 06/07/2014 on the prosecution of the Zionist entity, the International Coalition against Impunity (HOKOK) sent him a letter on Tuesday 08/07/2014 wishing that he lodges a motion before the International Criminal Court pursuant to paragraph /3/ of Article 12 of the Court’s Statute to investigate the crimes committed against the Palestinian people in order to start the investigation in the earlier complaint filed against the Zionist entity and the complaint that will be filed in the coming days.
It’s worth mentioning that ICAI/ HOKOK has filed, in 2008, a complaint against the Zionist entity, before the International Criminal Court in The Hague on 10/12/2008, registered under the number OTP-CR-4425/08. The Court’s Director Ms. Beatrice Le Frapper Du Hellen has informed the organization, in April 2009, that the complaint had been accepted as it complies with the terms of the Court that will investigate with Israeli officials as a result of their crimes, especially that the Palestinian Government has sent in that year a letter asking the court to make its investigations; however, as a result of taking back its demand, the lawsuit has been frozen again.
July 11, 2014 - The International
Coalition against Impunity (HOKOK) strongly condemns the brutal assault against the Palestinian
people and calls on the weak Arab and Islamic countries to show solidarity with
the Palestinian people to stop the bloodshed as the Zionist enemy goes to extremes
in killing the children, the women and the elders in Palestine during this holy
month. HOKOK also calls on the international community to assume its
responsibilities and take the necessary measures towards this unarmed people in
these circumstances and to lift the siege of the Palestinian people and Gaza.

17/08/2014 - A number of European lawyers, members of the International Coalition against Impunity (HOKOK) will move to The Hague according to an appointment with the ICC Court in La Haye to lodge a complaint against the Zionist entity, members of its government and some of the Israeli military leaders, in addition to some of the British government members and the US President for committing genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes against the Palestinian people in general and the people of Gaza in particular.
The complaint refers to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court and the international conventions. It also stresses on the authority of the ICC Court to hear this case since it became unambiguous that Palestine is a State after passing Resolution no. 67/19 that recognizes Palestine as a State. Recognizing the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC), the complaint refers as well to the declaration lodged, in 2009, by the Palestinian Minister of Justice asking the prosecutor of the Court to initiate the investigations against the Zionist criminals, to President Mahmoud Abbas’ statement in which he declared his intention to sue the Zionist entity before the International Criminal Court, and to the status of the United kingdom as a State Party to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
ICAI/HOKOK will be at the Court on Friday, July 18, 2014, at 3:00 PM. It calls on all local and international human rights’ organizations to defend the people of Gaza by filing more complaints before the International Criminal Court and other international courts having jurisdiction over such case.
ICAI/HOKOK calls on the united Nations and all medical humanitarian organizations, such as the “International Committee of the Red Cross” and “Doctors Without Borders” to move immediately to Gaza to do their humanitarian duty; otherwise they are accomplices in the crimes of murder and genocide committed in Gaza.

Dear Mr. Secretary General,
Accusations of severe violations of the laws of war have been clear during the Israeli offensive in Gaza due to the crimes committed by the Israeli military.
Therefore, the International Coalition against Impunity (HOKOK), have lodged a complaint with number OTP-CR-223/14 before the International Criminal Court on July 18, 2014.
As organization having experience of international justice, we believe there must be an international investigation of gross violations of the laws of war, committed by Israel; therefore, the international community must conduct a quick, independent and impartial investigation that provide all the gross violations of international humanitarian law committed by Israel and provide recommendations on how those responsible for crimes should be held to account.
Especially that previously a well-known Israeli politician and parliament member, named Ayelet Shaked, has branded Palestinians as terrorists, saying mothers of all Palestinians should also be killed during the ongoing Israeli assault on the besieged Gaza Strip. She called for the slaughter of Palestinian mothers who give birth to "little snakes", adding: “They have to die and their houses should be demolished so that they cannot bear any more terrorists. They are all our enemies and their blood should be on our hands.” The remarks are considered as a call for genocide as she declared that all Palestinians are Israel's enemies and must be killed.
We have seen the importance of investigating the truth and bringing justice for the Palestinian victims and believe it is a precondition to move forward and achieve peace in the Middle East.
The world must demand respect for the Palestinians and investigate and condemn the Israeli violations.
We call on world leaders to clarify that the targeting of civilians during conflict is unacceptable and to support the establishment of a United Nations commission of inquiry into the conflict against Gaza acting in accordance with the international standards governing such investigations.
Sincerely
Chief of ICAI/HOKOK
