Suspend the EU-Israel Treaty on the basis of Article 2 of the EU-Israel Association Agreement and the statement of Lisbon Treaty!
|
Israel has committed serious violations of international law and international humanitarian law against the Palestinians - as documented in particular by various bodies of the United Nations, including the Human Rights Council, that have condemned Israel repeatedly. Therefore the European Union must suspend its Association Agreement with Israel until it complies with international law. Article 2 of the EU Association Agreement with Israel states that relations between the EU and Israel must “be based on respect for human rights and democratic principles”. The Lisbon Treaty states that the Union’s external actions must be guided by the principles of fundamental freedoms, respect for human dignity, equality and solidarity, democracy, the rule of law, the UN Charter and international law. By continuing to award Israel preferential access to EU markets and to EU programs, funding it, the EU is providing material support and complicity to the crimes of Israel.
