THE HAGUE, April 25 (Bernama-WAFA) – The Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Court (ICC) Thursday rejected a request to cancel or suspend the arrest warrants issued against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Army Minister Yoav Gallant.
According to Palestine News and Info Agency (WAFA), in its statement on Thursday the ICC clarified that while it accepted Israel’s appeal for a reconsideration of the Court’s jurisdiction over crimes committed in Palestinian territories, this did not affect the standing arrest warrants.
The Appeals Chamber emphasised that the arrest warrants remain valid and unaffected by the jurisdictional review, which will now proceed with further examination of Israel’s legal arguments.
the title seems to say the opposite of the content of the article; they’re going to re-review it, without expanding upon why and citing a technicality that has the potential to reverse the warrants given the new makeup of the court.
are people going to continue to insist of “rules based order” once the icc revokes the arrest warrant in a clear case of genocide because of a technicality?
