NGO warns of legal action if UK embassy moved to Jerusalem The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians says there are ‘strong grounds’ to legally oppose embassy relocation Weeks after UK Prime Minister Liz Truss said she was reviewing the location of the British embassy in Israel, a rights group has warned that moving the mission from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem would constitute a violation of Britain’s obligations under international law and be met with legal action. “Any attempt to do so could result in the group issuing Judicial Review proceedings,” the United Kingdom-based International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICPJ) said in a statement on Wednesday. The group, which on Tuesday delivered a letter to Truss enclosing a detailed legal opinion, said Britain would violate its obligation under the #Geneva #Conventions “not to encourage, aid or assist violations of the Conventions by another State”. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/10/19/ngo-warns-of-legal-action-if-uk-embassy-moved-to-jerusalem #Israel #Palestine #Jerusalem #Embassy #UK
