What Chance for Palestine War Crimes Case at the ICC?

Justiceinfo.net's Janet Anderson takes a detailed look at the "slow-moving investigation by the International Criminal Court (ICC) into alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in the occupied Palestinian territories", and "why this has hardly been mentioned".

Meanwhile Human Rights Watch has called for the United Nations General Assembly to use its emergency session on Israel and Palestine to call for unfettered humanitarian aid and essential services for civilians in the Gaza Strip.

The organisation has also called for delegations to "call on Israel to avoid using explosive weapons with wide area effects in populated areas of Gaza, which have turned large parts of neighborhoods to rubble" and for "Palestinian armed groups to cease indiscriminate rocket attacks on Israeli communities and to immediately and safely release all civilians held hostage".

This comes as Libya's eastern-based parliament has called for ambassadors from countries that "support" Israel in its conflict with Hamas in Gaza to leave the country and Tunisia's approval of a draft law that would criminalise the normalisation of ties with what it calls the "Zionist entity".
