International Criminal Court warns against ‘retaliation threats’

The International Criminal Court prosecutors warned today against ‘individuals who threaten to retaliate’ against the tribunal or its staff, saying such actions might constitute an ‘offence against its administration of justice’. — Reuters picTHE HAGUE, May 3 — International Criminal Court prosecutors warned today against “individuals who threaten to retaliate” against the tribunal or its staff, saying such actions might constitute an “offence against its administration of justice”.

“That independence and impartiality are undermined, however, when individuals threaten to retaliate against the court or against court personnel” if it “made decisions” about probes that fell in its mandate, it said.“The Office insists that all attempts to impede, intimidate or improperly influence its officials cease immediately.”

The ICC opened a probe in 2021 into Israel, as well as Hamas and other armed Palestinian groups, over possible war crimes in the occupied Palestinian territories. Netanyahu said on X on Wednesday that the ICC was “contemplating issuing arrest warrants against senior Israeli government and military officials as war criminals”.
