  • The Application cites Lemkin, Axis Rule in Occupied Europe: Laws of Occupation, Analysis of Government, Proposals for Redress (1944), Chapter IX, for his recognition that acts of genocide form part of a continuum, which the Application uses to place the acts alleged against Israel in Gaza in the broader context of apartheid, occupation and blockade (PDF p.2, footnote 2).
