PNN – The professor of international law at the University of Brussels considered US President Donald Trump’s plan to relocate residents of the Gaza Strip as a crime against humanity and a violation of international law.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, Olivier Corten, a professor of international law at the University of Brussels, said in an interview with the European website Euronews: If hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are forced to leave their land, this will mean deportation.
This university professor said: taking control of a country’s land without agreement or compromise with that country will mean occupying it. If coercive power is used, its meaning changes to trespass.
Kurten added: The only thing that can be in accordance with international law is the American aid for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip. This will happen as a result of the agreement that will temporarily remove the residents of the Gaza Strip from this area, but this is not what is being talked about at all.
The professor of Brussels University emphasized that no country wants to host hundreds of thousands or even millions of people in their country. Forcing these countries to host Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip violates their territorial integrity.
Euronews wrote: It is unlikely that Trump will implement his plan about the Gaza Strip, but if this plan is implemented, the response will be in accordance with international laws.
Kurten said: The possible provisions of international laws will be military and civilian sanctions. It is difficult to imagine that coercive force will be used against America. But in any case, the effort to free the Gaza Strip from the American occupation will be in line with international laws.

UN experts: Trump’s action is breaking the taboo and violates world peace
UN experts announced in a press release published on Tuesday that such a flagrant violation by a great power would break the global taboo on military aggression and embolden other predatory states to seize foreign territories, with devastating consequences for global peace and human rights.
UN experts also stated: This clear violation of the law will replace the rule of international law and the stability it brings, and will replace it with the “law of the strongest government”.
Trump raised controversies in the world by proposing that he intends to turn Gaza into the so-called “Riviera of the Middle East”.
In response to the question of what part of the Palestinian population he wants to leave Gaza, the President of the United States answered “all of them”; Statements that clearly violate international law.
While the Minister of War of the Zionist regime, Isaac Katz, ordered the military of this regime to prepare the final plans for the residents who wish to leave the Gaza Strip, the forced expulsion of the population is considered a crime against humanity in international law.
Expulsion of the population is prohibited under several provisions of the Geneva Convention as well as the International Criminal Court.
The territorial integrity of Palestine is a long-standing issue, and the International Court of Justice ruled in July that the Israeli regime’s continued presence in the occupied Palestinian territories is illegal.
The United Nations recognizes Palestine as a permanent observer state, but the United States refuses to recognize Palestine. The United Nations has repeatedly called for an end to the occupation of the Palestinian territories by the Israeli regime.
