Journal of Humanities JOH (2:1) 79 THE POSITION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW IN TRANSNATIONAL AGGRESSION; A PERSPECTIVE ON THE ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN WAR, 1948-2023 PAUL NWALA Abstract This study examines the role of international law in regulating transnational aggression, using the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a case study. Despite the existence of international legal frameworks, addressing transnational aggression in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has proven difficult due to the ongoing political complexities, competing narratives, and challenges in implementing legal solutions. The study employs a detailed analysis of historical events, legal frameworks, and diplomatic efforts. It also includes an exploration of relevant international laws, such as the prohibition of aggression under the United Nations Charter, human rights and humanitarian law, and international criminal accountability mechanisms. The study is grounded in the principles of international law, particularly focusing on the legal norms surrounding the prohibition of aggression and the protection of human rights. It also examines the role of diplomatic initiatives and peace negotiations. The study finds that while international law offers essential principles and mechanisms for addressing transnational aggression, its effectiveness in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is limited by political complexities, competing historical narratives, and difficulties in implementation. Nevertheless, international law plays a key role in promoting peace, protecting human rights, and providing a foundation for conflict resolution. The study recommends strengthening the application of international legal frameworks to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, emphasizing the need for improved diplomatic engagement, enhanced accountability measures, and greater involvement of the international community in peace-building efforts. Keywords: Transnational, Aggression, International Law, War, and Perspective.

At its core lies a myriad of historical, political, and cultural factors that have fueled tensions and perpetuated violence. Within this turbulent landscape, the role of international law in addressing transnational aggression emerges as a critical yet often misunderstood aspect. This study focuses on international law and transnational aggression within the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
