"GAZA: The word 'ETHICS' is at stake" represents the most comprehensive and authoritative analysis of one of the 21st century's most significant humanitarian and legal crises. Dr. Naim Tahir Baig, a distinguished scholar of international relations, presents a meticulously documented examination of the Gaza conflict from October 7, 2023, through July 29, 2025—a period that fundamentally challenged the foundations of international law, human rights frameworks, and moral discourse. This groundbreaking work goes beyond conventional conflict analysis to explore how the Gaza crisis has exposed critical failures in our international legal and ethical systems. With over 59,866 documented deaths, including 17,921 confirmed children, and unprecedented findings of genocide by major human rights organizations including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, the Gaza crisis represents a watershed moment that demands serious scholarly examination. Dr. Baig's analysis draws from extensive primary sources, including International Court of Justice proceedings, International Criminal Court investigations, UN expert reports, and comprehensive documentation from leading human rights organizations. The book examines how South Africa's historic genocide case at the ICJ, joined by Brazil and other Global South nations, represents a fundamental challenge to Western dominance in international legal discourse. It analyzes the unprecedented International Criminal Court arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant—marking the first such warrants against leaders of a Western-backed democratic nation. The work provides critical analysis of how traditional ethical frameworks—from just war theory to utilitarian calculations and rights-based approaches—have proven inadequate when confronted with systematic state violence and urban warfare in the digital age. Dr. Baig demonstrates how Gaza has accelerated the transition from a unipolar, Western-dominated international order toward a multipolar world characterized by competing governance models and institutional frameworks. This essential text serves as both a comprehensive historical record and a urgent call for the reconstruction of international institutions on more just and universal foundations. It will be indispensable reading for scholars of international relations, human rights lawyers, policy makers, and anyone seeking to understand the most significant challenge to international law and humanitarian principles since World War II.
