Palestine Solidarity
We use the law in support of the Palestine Solidarity movement. We act on behalf of Palestinian nationals and their families living and working in the UK, as well as affected organisations, grassroots groups, and activists. We aim to strengthen legal accountability for those responsible for war crimes and to increase pressure on UK authorities to act transparently regarding their involvement in or complicity with the genocide in Gaza, and the illegal occupation of the West Bank.
Our legal expertise includes:
Submissions to the War Crimes Unit
Corporate accountability
Local Government Pension Scheme and investment policies
Protection of Freedom Flotilla participants
Civil defence of activists
Regulatory action
Metropolitan Police reverse decision to close UK-Israeli war crimes referral following legal challenge
We've brought a judicial review challenge after the Metropolitan Police's War Crimes Team decided it had insufficient evidence to investigate ten British nationals alleged to have served with the IDF during operations in Gaza. Following a Letter Before Action arguing the closure decision was improper, the Met has withdrawn that decision and agreed to conduct a fresh scoping exercise.
Take Action
We also aim to support communities with:
Council Investment Policies: Understanding and challenging local authority investment strategies to promote ethical, accountable decisions.
Flotilla Advocacy: Supporting families of Freedom Flotilla participants, including engagement with the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) and guidance on when to seek legal advice.
We will not rest until we see a fairer and more equitable society.
