Abstract
By mapping the responses of major Intergovernmental Organizations (IGOs), in particular, the
United Nations (UN), European Union (EU), and the International Criminal Court (ICC) to the
genocide that‟s taking place in Gaza, this research aims at critically identifying significant trends
in the patterns of response. The historical context of the conflict is outlined first within the
framework of the Israel/Palestine dispute and its roots to the Balfour Declaration followed by the
Nakba of 1948. It then examines the changing attitudes of IGOs to the humanitarian crisis and
their practice of demanding ceasefires, humanitarian aid, and presumed accountability for
alleged war crimes.
