Palestine Officially Joins ICC

International

Palestine formally joined the International Criminal Court on Wednesday, a move the Palestinians hope could open the door to the possible prosecution of the Zionist entity for its war crimes, Al- Manar News reported.

The accession was marked at a behind-closed doors ceremony at the court’s headquarters in The Hague, exactly 90 days after Palestine joined the court’s founding Rome Statute.

Palestinian foreign minister RiadMalki received a symbolic copy of the Rome Statute at the ceremony.

The Palestinians have already sent the court documents authorizing the prosecutor to investigate crimes in the Palestinian territories since June 2014, when the Zionist entity launched a brutal offensive against the besieged Gaza strip, killing2,200, and injuring more than 11,000 others.

Despite Israel not being a signatory to the world’s only permanent court for the most serious crimes, the tribunal could prosecute Israelis for crimes committed on Palestinian territory.

The ICC would face challenges in arresting Israeli suspects however as it does not have its own police force and relies on the cooperation of member states.
