ELAC Research Fellow Talita Dias and Co-author Rashmin Sagoo have published an article on the Chatham House website titled, ‘The ICC Prosecutor’s applications for arrest warrants explained‘.
The article focuses on the application to the International Criminal Court (ICC) for arrest warrants to be issued against Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Diab Ibrahim al-Masri (known as Dief) and Ismail Haniyeh for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Israel and Gaza during and after the attack on 7 October 2023. In addition, the Prosecutor is also seeking arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his defence minister, Yoav Gallant, in respect of war crimes and crimes against humanity in response to the Hamas attack. Included in the article is an overview of the ICC and it’s history of engagement with the situation in Palestine.
