As the International Court of Justice takes its next steps on investigating and prosecuting war crimes in Israel’s war on Gaza, the top expert on Palestine at the United Nations is pushing for even more international accountability.
In a wide-ranging exclusive interview with The Intercept, U.N. special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories Francesca Albanese, called for top European Union officials — including European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen — to face charges of complicity in war crimes over their support for Israel during its 18-month assault on Gaza.
“The fact that the two highest figures of the EU continue business as usual engagements with Israel is beyond deplorable,” Albanese said. “I’m not someone who says, ‘History will judge them’ — they will have to be judged before then. And they will have to understand that immunity cannot equate with impunity.”
“Hey, the UK sells weapons to Israel, why not send an international arrest warrant against King Charles?”
The only people who benefit from this debasement of international arrest warrants are its current targets: genocide bibi and genocide putin.
ignoring the bad faith of comparing Ursula to Charles and assuming that Charles was a supporter of the Palestinian genocide, then absolutely yes. it would be hilarious to finally see a British Royal be held accountable for their genocides.
