a shirt from the rubble for her 2 young son. the family is homeless, but we'll have to find money to pay the mortgage on the apartment and find a new place to live. since 2008, there have been 5 wars or attacks in the gaza strip. the longest was in 2014 and lasted 51 days. after the war, dozens of countries met and planned to raise $5000000000.00 to rebuild garza but not even half that money was actually donated. the biggest donors cut our gave more than a $1000000000.00 in aid, saudi arabia, half a $1000000000.00. the united states, the united arab emirates, and kuwait each gave $200000000.00. these photo showed the before and after of some reconstruction projects. after last years, israeli airstrikes, cutter and egypt committed
5:24 am
a $1000000000.00 total. to help garza rebuild again, but with no time frame gases, ministry of public works and housing says it needs millions of dollars. now, to provide housing for 2200 families, will you feel the as little as putting some obstacles and the way of the donors that the 130 construction process to be slow over the years. even once reliable arab allies have stopped offering funding. and with many humanitarian crises, globally, donor fatigue has set in israel, ester occupying power, to have a real responsibility to, to, to, to, to take care of the situation there. but in the long term, long, you know, full for china. and also for the huge majority of the international community, what concerns oz is not week, not simply look at the specific situation in the piece piecemeal to
5:25 am
way some in the international community may continue to spend billions of dollars rebuilding gaza after each war or attack. but palestinians wonder when the world will see that it's more prudent to invest in peace. natasha name al jazeera, gaza as get more on this topic, we can speak to audi him, says he's a former un official and a professor of international law at queens university. he joins us from ottawa. now i live, thank you for joining the program. at sir. israel has been known to bomb anti a buildings destroying civilian infrastructure because of just one individual that they are targeting weight as international law stand on that kind of collective punishment. why do you describe it that would be legal under international law, the number of fronts? first of all, as
5:26 am
a matter of international criminal law. any armed power who's engaged in the use of force has the obligation to distinguish between civilians and combatants. and even when they do distinguish sales have an obligation to deploy proportional force and also use appropriate precautions in attack. so to the extent that israel's attacks against civilians and gather attacks against civilian infrastructure and gather in general, conduct of armed hostilities and gather doesn't meet these principles. they are bound under international law to make appropriate recompense. from a criminal law standpoint, they have an obligation to prosecute or indeed extradite members of their own military who have either performed these acts or indeed ordered these acts to be undertaken. that mad, very little prospect that happening. but from the civil law side, they have obligations to make appropriate recompense for the damage caused by, by their agents, their military in, in the field. that's
5:27 am
a matter of state responsibility in the normal course, you would have a state try to reestablish the circumstances that you just did prior or but for the illegal acts that have been undertaken. in this case where you can recreate somebody's life because they're dead civilians, for instance, we must make appropriate amends to civil compensation. ok. so under the laws of occupation under the international law of occupation, is it israel's responsibility when it comes to rebuilding efforts? do they have to pay for all the rebuilding? and is that what happens? do they put the bill? it's a very good question. so as a matter of public internationalize and relates to occupation, the occupying power has an obligation, a sole obligation to facilitate what we call relief schemes. under article $59.00 at the fort geneva convention. this is basically the reconstruction effort. israel
5:28 am
has that obligation in practice and as a matter of law, israel, me seek assistance to do this, to the international community. and in practice, the international community through the united nation has helped facilitate this as well. the un largest presence on the ground and gather is unwrapped. there is something called the gas reconstruction mechanism, which was negotiated, which are the auspices in good offices of the united nation some years ago. so the us has a role to play with international donors as well, assisting, but make no mistake about it under the same body of law. article 60 of the fortunate convention even where you have 3rd parties, including members of the international community participating in the humanitarian relief, effort, and reconstruction effort. it is israel that had the obligations do so, and none of those actions on the car, the international community, absolve the occupying power. israel, i would say the legal responsibilities could do so before she went out of time, but really good to talk to you already in says form
