THE Caribbean Against Apartheid in Palestine (CAAP) and the Caribbean Movement for Peace and Integration (CMPI) have filed a court application in Barbados, accusing Israel "with genocide and crimes against humanity for their continuing killing, starvation and displacement of the Palestinian people."

The matter was discussed by representatives of both groups during a virtual news conference in Barbados on June 20.

The application calls for a Barbados court to declare that Israel is committing genocide, Israel is committing crimes against humanity, declare Israel as an apartheid state and declare that any members of the Israel Defence Force (IDF) members should be arrested for committing crimes against humanity should they attempt to enter Barbados.
