Hamas rejects its inclusion on UN list related to sexual violence

GAZA, (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Hamas Movement has strongly rejected and condemned the UN Secretary-General’s report dated August 14, 2025, concerning sexual violence in armed conflict, which includes the Movement on the “blacklist” of perpetrators of sexual crimes.

In a statement released Friday evening, Hamas described the move as legally invalid and factually baseless, asserting that it reflects the political double standards that are increasingly undermining the credibility of the international system.

Hamas emphasized that this inclusion lacks any legal foundation or credible evidence, as it was not based on independent or impartial field investigations, nor did it adhere to internationally recognized evidentiary standards. Instead, it relied exclusively on politicized and entirely fabricated Israeli narratives, without conducting any fair investigations or engaging with the alleged victims. This, Hamas said, constitutes a blatant violation of professional standards outlined in relevant UN resolutions.

In contrast, Hamas pointed to the exclusion of Israeli occupation forces from condemnation or listing, despite hundreds of documented pieces of evidence in reports from UN fact-finding missions, independent international human rights organizations, and special rapporteurs that confirm Israeli forces committed systematic acts of sexual violence against Palestinian civilians, including rape and other forms of sexual assault, as part of their ongoing genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.

Hamas stressed that this stark double standard represents a dangerous departure from the principle of equality before international law and a gross politicization of UN mechanisms, threatening their integrity and transforming them into tools to whitewash occupation crimes rather than hold perpetrators accountable.

The Movement cited UN Security Council Resolutions 1820 (2008) and 2467 (2019), which emphasize that all allegations of sexual violence in conflict must be subjected to independent and impartial field investigations based on internationally accepted evidentiary standards, something that was clearly not followed in this case.

Hamas called on the UN Secretary-General and the Security Council to immediately review and revoke this unjust decision from official records.

The Movement also urged the opening of an independent and impartial international investigation under the supervision of a panel of international experts into all allegations of sexual violence related to the conflict with the Zionist enemy.

Furthermore, Hamas demanded the prosecution and accountability of the enemy’s leaders and military commanders for all rape and sexual violence crimes committed against the Palestinian people and detainees in the occupation’s prisons and detention camps, calling for their referral to the International Criminal Court under the principle of non-impunity.

The statement concluded by warning that politicizing international justice and applying international humanitarian law with double standards undermines trust in the UN system and emboldens actual perpetrators to continue their crimes with impunity, further deepening the suffering of occupied peoples.
