International Criminal Court
• ICC Chief Prosecutor has requested the court to issue Arrest Warrant for Israeli and Hamas leaders for war crimes in Gaza.
• Hamas Leaders include Yahya Sinwar, Hamas’s chief in Gaza, Mohammed Deif, the commander of its military wing, and Qatar-based Ismail Haniyeh, leader of the political bureau.
• Israeli officials include Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and his defence minister, Yoav Gallant, for war crimes and crimes against humanity namely, extermination, intentionally causing death, starvation, great suffering, and serious injury to body or health of the civilian population”
• For Hamas, charges include rape, murder, hostage etc.
• Khan’s office has requested the warrants for the Hamas and Israeli suspects from a pre-trial panel of three judges, who take on average two months to consider the evidence and determine if the proceedings can move forward.
ICC past Arrest Warrants:
• Putin
• Omar al Bashir from Sudan and many more
• First ever arrest warrant of a western close ally
Why ICC proactive in last few years?
• Role of Karim Khan
Implications:
• Israel, along with the US, Russia and China, is not a member of the ICC and does not recognise its authority. The 124 states that do, however, are obliged to honour court arrest warrants if they are issued, which could severely curtail the ability of Netanyahu and Gallant to travel abroad.
• France, Belgium and Slovenia said on Monday they supported Khan’s decision, while a UK government spokesperson reiterated that London did not believe the ICC had jurisdiction in the case, and the Czech Republic called the prosecutor’s move “appalling and completely unacceptable”, a clear indication of the west’s growing divisions over approaches to Israel as death and destruction mounts in Gaza.
• Israel is also worried about an immediate impact on weapons sales and the defence industry, the possibility of further sanctions if the case goes ahead, and implementing military strategy and judicial changes that may be needed in order to minimise the risk of future charges.
