Emphasizing the need to ensure accountability for the most serious crimes under international law through appropriate, fair and independent investigations and prosecutions at the national or international level, and to ensure justice for all victims and the prevention of future crimes;
Convinced that collective action through coordinated legal and diplomatic measures at both national and international levels is an urgent imperative to uphold the principles of justice and accountability that form the foundation of the UN Charter,
Declare our intention to:
1. Uphold the UN Resolution A/RES/Es-10/24 and, in the case of States Parties, support the requests of the International Criminal Court comply with our obligations under the Rome Statute, with regards to the warrants issued on 21 November 2024; and implement the provisional measures of the International Court of Justice, issued on 26 January, 28 March, and 24 May 2024.
2. Prevent provision or transfer of arms, munitions and related equipment to Israel, in all cases where there is a clear risk that such arms and related items might be used to commit or facilitate violations of humanitarian law, international human rights law, or the prohibition on genocide, in compliance with our international obligations and consistent with the International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion of 19 July 2024 and the UN General Assembly Resolution A/RES/Es-10/24.
3. Prevent the docking of vessels at any port, if applicable, within our territorial jurisdiction, in all cases where there is a clear risk of the vessel being used to carry military fuel and weaponry to Israel, which might be used to commit or facilitate violations of humanitarian law, of international human rights law, and of the prohibition on genocide in Palestine, in keeping with statesβ peremptory legal obligation to cooperate towards preventing genocide and other violations of peremptory norms by all legal measures at their disposal.
We will take further effective measures to end Israeli occupation of the State of Palestine and remove obstacles to the realisation of the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, including the right to their independent State of Palestine.
We invite all states to take all possible actions and policies to end Israelβs occupation of the State of Palestine.
We call on all nations to join us in The Hague Group in the solemn commitment to an international order based on the rule of law and international law, which, together with the principles of justice, is essential for peaceful coexistence and cooperation among States.

Agnes Callamard, secretary-general of Amnesty International: Are we looking at war crimes? It will demand a number of analyses that we have not conducted yet. But there is absolutely no doubt that human rights violations are being committed, including the unlawful destruction of Palestinian property, and unlawful detention, and forced displacement. Will that amount to committing genocide? It will take more time to reach that conclusion. [File: Kirsty Wigglesworth/AP Photo]
Overview of Toka by Ghosts of Palestine
Toka is an Israeli intelligence and cybersecurity company that develops advanced digital forensics and intelligence tools. The company primarily serves government, law enforcement, and security agencies, providing them with tools for cyber intelligence gathering and surveillance. Toka's technology is marketed as a way to strengthen homeland security, but it has also raised significant ethical and human rights violations due to its misuse on individuals such as Journalists, Activists and Palestinian movements.
Surrounding Toka
Toka has been described as one of the most dangerous spyware firms, with critics arguing that its products could be used for illegal surveillance and abuse. Unlike the more widely known NSO Group (creator of Pegasus spyware), Toka has largely flown under the radar of mainstream media scrutiny. However, its capabilities, such as hacking into surveillance cameras and altering video feeds, have drawn comparisons to dystopian scenarios.
One particularly alarming feature of Toka's technology is its ability to manipulate video feeds. This capability could allow users to fabricate evidence or tamper with surveillance footage, raising concerns about its potential use in framing individuals or undermining justice systems. A human rights expert described this as "truly dystopian," warning of scenarios where individuals might not even know if the evidence against them is real or fabricated.
Founders and Leadership
Toka was co-founded by Ehud Barak, a former Israeli Prime Minister and Defense Minister. Barak's involvement in the company has drawn attention due to his background in Israeli politics and military intelligence. The company also has ties to Unit 8200, Israel's elite military intelligence unit, which has been linked to the development of other controversial surveillance technologies.
Ethical Concerns
Toka's tools, while marketed as lawful and for legitimate government use, could easily be abused by authoritarian regimes or corrupt officials. The lack of transparency and oversight in the sale and use of such technologies exacerbates these concerns. For example, Toka's ability to hack into and manipulate surveillance systems could be used to suppress dissent, target activists, or violate privacy rights.
Conclusion
While Toka positions itself as a provider of cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions for governments, its capabilities and potential for misuse have sparked significant ethical and human rights violations. The involvement of high-profile figures like Ehud Barak and the company's ties to Unit 8200 further highlight the need for greater scrutiny and regulation of such technologies.
