According to Al Quds, the International Criminal Court (ICC) might be creating a website targeting complaints at Israel.
Al Quds reports:
The Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs of the United Nations and Specialized Agencies, Omar Awadallah, said that the International Criminal Court has launched an electronic platform to allow Palestinians to file complaints against Israelis who have allegedly committed war crimes.
In an interview with Voice of Palestine radio on Tuesday, Awadallah explained that this platform will allow Palestinians to submit photo and video evidence to the court, and that this should also serve as a deterrent against Israel.
In the same interview, B’Tselem spokesman Karim Jubran stressed the importance of documenting the crimes committed by the occupation forces in the International Criminal Court. He encouraged Palestinians to submit evidence of any incident that they have faced, as there is no statute of limitations.
On his part, the director of Al-Haq Shawan Jabarin said that this process will exert “more pressure on the [Israeli] Public Prosecutor’s Office,” and force its hand in dealing with the incidents. [emphasis added]
Today, anyone can send a complaint to the ICC simply by emailing them.
There is nothing wrong with the ICC creating a website to make the complaint process even easier. But there is something very wrong with the ICC creating a website specifically for complaints against a single country.
Why can’t Palestinian complainants use the same process as for everyone else? So much for any pretense that the ICC is objective.
The article’s’ decisions to quoate Shawan Jabarin, who is linked to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terror organization, on any human rights topic is just icing on the cake.
