" Joint Letter to Greek Government: We Demand Urgent Action Against the Overseas Santorini and Overseas Sun Coast", 15 August 2024

The following joint letter was sent as part of the No Harbour for Genocide campaign, focusing on a demand to the Greek government to take action against the Overseas Santorini and the Overseas Sun Coast, two US vessels in the business of transporting military fuel for the Zionist regime. Around the same time that the letter was delivered (i.e. 03:00 Palestine time on 14th August) the Overseas Sun Coast moved out of Greek waters and is not heading back towards France.

...

The Overseas Santorini remains in Greek Waters, and is still anchored in Piraeus at this time, where Greek workers have already been protesting its presence.

...

Included with this alert was a letter signed by international legal experts advising the Greek government that allowing these vessels to transit in Greek territorial waters or to provision these vessels at ports within Greece’s jurisdiction amounts to complicity in grave breaches of international law, including genocide and apartheid.

...

This advice was substantiated with reference to recent rulings made by the International Court of Justice, actions taken by the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court and statements made by U.N. Special Rapporteurs.
