Israel's Designation of Six Terrorism-Linked NGOs Was in Full Accordance with International Law


(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Lea Bilke and Amb. Alan Baker - Israel's designation of six Palestinian NGOs as terror organizations was in full accordance with international law. Israel focused on their connection and active support to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terror group, which clearly outweighs activities ostensibly carried out by such organizations as a cover for their terrorist activity. The linkage between the organizations and the PFLP renders them as eligible for criminalization in accordance with provisions of the relevant UN Conventions and Resolutions. Israel, therefore, is fully justified in designating these NGOs as terror groups and, as such, in protecting itself against prevailing threats to peace and security. Lea Bilke is a law student at the Free University of Berlin in Germany. Amb. Alan Baker, former legal counsel to Israel's foreign ministry, heads the international law program at the Jerusalem Center.
