09 Nov The AU’s Position on Personal Immunity: A Response to Coracini & Trahan
...that no state can arrest or surrender a government official entitled to personal immunity. They make clear the AU believes personal immunity prohibits the ICC from prosecuting any such official. And not just the ICC — “any International Court or Tribunal.” The AU’s robust defence of personal immunity in its 2013 ICC Decision is not surprising. After all, when the AU adopted the Malabo Protocol in 2014, extending the jurisdiction of the proposed African Court of Justice and Human Rights to a variety of international crimes — including aggression —...24 Aug Does the U.S. Have An Exemption from the ICC’s Jurisdiction for Actions in Libya?
...perfectly valid, indeed important. AMICC Operative paragraph 6 of Resolution 1970 purports to grant exclusive jurisdiction over non-Libyan nationals of countries that are not ICC States Parties to the courts of their nationalities, subject to waiver. This closely tracks operative paragraph 6 of the Darfur resolution, 1593. It should be noted that under the UN Charter the Security Council can give orders to UN Member States but cannot bind other international organizations. As such, the ICC could ignore this provision, though it would likely try to avoid this situation. http://amicc.blogspot.com/2011/02/amicc-analysis-of-un-security-council.html...
10 Aug Jerusalem before the International Courts: Utopias 2020
...Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. According to Palestine, the Vienna Convention requires that “the diplomatic mission of a sending State must be established on the territory of the receiving State.” Palestine contends that, in the eyes of international law, Jerusalem cannot be considered to be the territory of the State of Israel. In this case, too, the question of the statehood of Palestine is crucial – because, under the ICJ Statute, “only States may be parties in cases before the Court.” Yet this case, too, is in something of a hiatus....30 Jan The Hamas Party Platform
all other religions live in the shadow of Islam (Art. 31); Peace accords are treacherous schemes of Zionists (Art. 32); Jihad will not end until liberation is complete (Art. 33); and Palestine is the navel of the earth and Jihad is our answer to the Christian Crusades (Art. 34). Excerpts of these articles are below: Art. 2 The Link Between Hamas and the Association of Muslim Brothers The Islamic Resistance Movement is one of the wings of the Muslim Brothers in Palestine. The Muslim Brotherhood Movement is a world organization,...
24 Oct International Court Rulings Require EU Action on Israel and Palestine: Sanctions, Trade Measures, Support for ICC Crucial to Comply with International Law
...in the occupied territories. Fifth, as parties to the Rome Statute of the ICC, EU member states should refrain from attacking or questioning the court’s independence, and should instead protect the ICC in the face of threats and intimidations from the Israeli and US governments. As ICC members, all EU governments have clear obligations, including to cooperate with the court to execute arrest warrants and to avoid “non-essential contacts” with individuals who are fugitives from the ICC. Finally, the EU should also act on the ICJ’s clear statements on the...22 Oct Will the Mbeki Report Implicitly Endorse the ICC? (Updated)
the ICC particularly after the AU issued a resolution last July instructing its members not to cooperate with the Hague tribunal in apprehending Bashir. But Mbeki appeared to distance himself from the position of the pan-African body in his report seen by Sudan Tribune. “The ICC is a ‘court of last resort’ as well as of limited practical capacity: it can only target a few people for prosecution. Indeed, conscious of its limited resources, the Prosecutor of the ICC has adopted a policy of focusing only on those few who...
01 Aug ICC ratione loci Jurisdiction for Belarus: The Bangladesh/Myanmar Blueprint
certain elements of the alleged crimes had been committed in the territory of Lithuania itself, which is a State Party. It is well-established that the ICC has jurisdiction when a crime is committed in the territory of a State Party or when the perpetrator is a national of a State Party. But does the ICC have the territorial jurisdiction over crimes that are conducted on the territory of a non-State Party, and if so, what are the conditions required to establish said jurisdiction? Establishing ratione loci jurisdiction of the ICC...
19 Aug States of Justice Symposium: States of Justice, Cascade Scientism, and Snow White in The Hague
just world’, embodying ‘humanity against crimes’. In Ba’s characterisation of the same decade, the ICC does not warrant grandiose celebration, it is so deeply implicated in unjust politics that it ‘may need to acknowledge that it can only deliver justice that is…political, selective, and partial’ (Ba, 2020, p. 159). The ICC, then, appears as impervious to its status as ‘a court in permanent crisis’ (Ba, 2020, p. 158). It is apt then, that, on International Justice Day this year, the ICC launched a ‘resilience’ campaign. Encountering this with Ba points...
