Criticising arrest bid for Netanyahu a 'huge mistake', former ICC prosecutor says • FRANCE 24
Рет қаралды 77,716
29 күн бұрынIn an interview with FRANCE 24, former ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo reacted to the court's request for arrest warrants over the war in Gaza. The ICC has faced heavy criticism from Israel, the US, Germany and Canada since it announced it was seeking warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his Defence Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Moreno Ocampo called this reaction "disappointing". For him, attacking the ICC prosecutor's decision instead of focusing on the crimes is a "huge mistake".

The former prosecutor is correct in saying that attacking the prosecutor instead of focusing on the alleged crimes is a huge mistake, it's actually the worst mistake they could make, because it costs them their credibility.

It is because they know they'll lose (at the very least their faces) if they go to trial. Flexing their muscle is to show whether the court can be willing to risk the Bden sanction and withdrawing of financial support. It is not to declare their innocence, it is to declare their control of the politicians of the most powerful superpower.

There was not 1 single mention of "equivalence" in the application. There was barely any mention of "moral". It was all about law and human rights. In fact it can be read as 2 totally separate applications. This term "moral equivalence" was introduced by Netanyahu and the media has somehow parroted it into the current discourse. Right into Bibi's plans.

Discussion of facts and their relation to law is what counts. I believe this is what is contained in the ICC accusation. It is the Court, and not the prosecutor, which may then convict or absolve. That is how it should be. Let Israel show up and put forth a factual and legally based argument, and attend to consequence, including full exoneration/condemnation as warranted.

So if Netanyahu goes to a prosecutor and says investigate me.. that would have stopped ICJ! Would the appointed Prosecutor look at the evidence first? I'm sure anyone, even those with no legal background would say yes! But isn't that exactly what ICJ did not do? Did not go to thoroughly verify the facts on the ground? He did not show up ! Imagine a prosecutor making a judgement without visiting a crime scene! In the case of Gaza, start with the opinion that both sides could be lying. Then thoroughly investigate and then only make a judgement.
@mayibuye2908 25 күн бұрын
You seem not to understand what's going on here. A warrant of arrest is not judgment!! It is issued to ensure that the accused is brought to trial. The evidence is produced during the trial where the accused gets the opportunity to defend himself and produce counter-evidence As of now, the warrant has not yet been issued. The court has simply requested it. It's up to the judges to decide whether the warrant should be issued or not, based on the arguments presented by the prosecutor.
