WED Welcomes Ireland’s Import Ban on Goods from Illegal Israeli Settlements

The World Embassy Desk (WED) welcomes the recent decision by Ireland to prohibit the importation of goods originating from Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. WED considers this to be a measured, lawful and principled step that reflects the importance of upholding international law and the rules-based international order.

WED encourages other States to consider adopting similar measures consistent with their international legal obligations. Such actions contribute to discouraging activities that are widely regarded as contrary to international law, while reinforcing the shared responsibility of the international community to promote accountability, peace and stability.

WED reiterates that sustainable peace can only be achieved through respect for international law, meaningful diplomacy, and the protection of the rights, security and dignity of all people affected by the conflict.

Strength of the WED

A positive effect of the WED will be that its actions will not affect the relationship between states. After all, states are not the ones who will act against the state that violates the international agreements; the WED will act on behalf of all members, while the member states will just act according to their commitments to the WED.

Another positive outcome of the WED will be that states will not be able to abuse their economic or military power to force others to act according to their will or to accept a breach by them. After all, by doing that, those states are not only breaching international agreements but also intending to make innocent civilians suffer only for their own agenda. Indeed, just as we as humans may not force our neighbours to live as we see fit, states may not force this on other states, either.
