During the Freedom Vigil ongoing in front of Haydarpaşa Port Gate C, legal experts conducted a comprehensive discussion on the international war crimes committed by the occupying Israeli forces in Gaza, the Palestinian resistance, and the position of these events within the framework of international law. The participating legal experts evaluated the Palestinian people's struggle for survival and how this struggle is perceived by the international community.

The discussion featured Hüseyin Dişli from the World Lawyers Association (Wolas), Nasir Qadri, a prominent lawyer from the Indian-occupied Kashmir and the Executive Director of Legal Forum for Kashmir (LFK), Dr. Salah Abdel-Ati, a Gazan lawyer and President of the International Commission for the Protection of Palestinian Rights, and Hasan Veli Şirin, a member of the Freedom Flotilla Lawyers Commission. The experts deliberated on Israel's human rights violations and war crimes in Gaza, how international law addresses these violations, and the future of Palestine's struggle for freedom.

Over the past year, as the occupying Israeli forces continue their actions in Gaza that violate human rights and constitute war crimes, the lack of concrete steps from world states in response has caused great disappointment. This silence undermines global confidence in law and justice, leading to an increasing sense of distrust toward the rule of law in the international community.

As the 34th day of the Freedom Vigil comes to an end, the continued unlawful detention of the Ship Vicdan at Haydarpaşa Port serves as a stark reminder of the need to re-examine the principle of the rule of law in our country.

In a time when defending human dignity and justice is more critical than ever, the collaboration between lawyers and civil society presents a hopeful example of solidarity for Palestine and all oppressed regions worldwide.
