International efforts to document Gaza violations

In early September 2026, the Gaza Media Workshop was held at Ibn Haldun University in Istanbul as part of the International Interdisciplinary Gaza Symposium. The event sought to unite academics, journalists, and legal experts to combat the media blockade in Gaza. Organizers aimed to use data journalism to document the destruction of education and convert such data into legal files for international bodies like the UN, the International Court of Justice, and the International Criminal Court.

By late September, human rights advocates and legal experts continued efforts to address violations in Gaza through separate gatherings. In Konya, Turkey, a session was organized to collect testimonies from civilians, medical professionals, and journalists to document abuses according to international legal standards. Additionally, during the 5th Samarkand Human Rights Forum in Uzbekistan, the President of the Human Rights and Equality Institution of Türkiye called for international institutions to show increased sensitivity and bridge the gap between international obligations and local implementation during humanitarian crises.
