Una buona squadra, con obiettivi interessanti e premesse
condivisibili, secondo me.
In sostanza, si tratta di investigare l'aspetto legale del blocco di
Gaza proponendo, se necessario, i correttivi adeguati alla luce della
legalità internazionale. Questo aspetto è quello che dà all'inchiesta
una possibilità di modificare la realtà, se fosse necessario, il che è
un raro frutto. All'interno di questo quadro verrà esaminato il
comportamento degli organizzatori della flottiglia e quello degli
incursori israeliani per identificare eventuali violazioni alla legge
di guerra e alla legalità internazionale.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has proposed a limited international
investigation to look at the Gaza flotilla incident. The investigation
would include as official international observers: Ken Watkin of
Canada and David Trimble of Northern Ireland. Presumably this has been
agreed to with the United States as an alternative to a UN-organized,
anti-Israel investigation.
The members of the commission would be:
Retired Supreme Court Judge Jacob Turkel (chair);
Prof. Shabtai Rosen, winner of the Israel Prize for jurisprudence and
the Hague Prize for International Law;
Former Technion President, Maj.-Gen. (ret.) Amos Horev
There are four points to be investigated:
1. Examine the security aspects of the naval blockade on Gaza and
adjusting it in accordance with international law.
2. Examine Israel's actions to enforce the naval blockade and prevent
the international flotilla from reaching Gaza on May 31, 2010 with
respect to international law.
3. Examine the actions of the organizers of the (Gaza) flotilla and
identifying its participants.
4. Examine whether Israel's process of looking into complaints of
Israeli violations of the Laws of War--as was implemented during the
said incident--corresponds with the country's obligations vis-à-vis
international law.
This is a clever response since it has an international aspect but
also preserves Israeli sovereignty since the two foreign
representatives are observers.
What is the Obama Administration's position? Presumably, it has
secretly agreed to this approach. At the UN Security Council, the U.S.
position supported an investigation but not necessarily a UN-led one.
Now we will have to see how strongly it fights for this alternative or
retreats under the demands of Turkey and other countries at the UN.
Point 1 shows that Israel is willing to make adjustments in the
blockade to answer any well-intended criticisms. Point 2 will look at
any possible mistakes by Israel. Point 3 is intended to include an
examination of the motives and actions of the flotilla participants,
aimed at showing how there was a Jihadist element which sought to
foment a violent confrontation. Point 4 would consider whether Israel
had a right to act as it did under international law.
This is a good outcome if it is implemented as planned. It seems
likely that Turkey and others would try to ram through the UN Security
Council an investigation of its own. Will the United States veto such
a resolution if necessary?
The Israeli cabinet must still approve this plan.
Watkin served as a Canadian Forces legal officer for more than 25
years and has been involved in inquiries arising from the 1994
genocide in Rwanda.  He is Canada's former judge advocate general.
Canada has welcomed the decision.
Trimble was a leader of the Protestant community in Northern Ireland
who negotiated the successful conciliation agreement with the
Catholics and has since been involved in international peacekeeping
efforts.
