巴勒斯坦人和美国亲属指控国务院在向以色列提供军事援助中违反人权法。 Palestinians and U.S. relatives sue State Department for allegedly bypassing human rights laws in military aid to Israel.
巴勒斯坦人和美国亲属已提起诉讼,指控美国国务院制造漏洞,允许以色列绕过因侵犯人权而限制军事援助的法律。 Palestinians and American relatives have filed a lawsuit accusing the US State Department of creating loopholes to allow Israel to bypass laws restricting military aid due to human rights abuses. 国务院在法律诉讼中设置了执行1997年《Leahy法》的障碍,该法禁止美国向拥有严重侵犯人权的可信证据的外国军事部队提供军事援助。 The lawsuit claims the State Department has set up barriers to enforce the 1997 Leahy Law, which prohibits US military assistance to foreign military units with credible evidence of gross human rights abuses. 前国务院官员和《Leahy法》设计师支持这一诉讼,试图追究美国执行自身人权法的责任。 Former State Department officials and architects of the Leahy Law support the lawsuit, seeking to hold the US accountable for enforcing its own human rights laws.
