Deep dives
Overview of the ICC and Its Jurisdiction
The International Criminal Court (ICC) focuses on prosecuting individuals for serious offenses such as war crimes and crimes against humanity, differing from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) which deals with disputes between states. The ICC's current focus on Israeli officials, particularly Netanyahu, originates from a prosecutor's determination that sufficient evidence exists for war crimes, including the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The conversation highlights the ICC's territorial jurisdiction, addressing crimes occurring in Palestine, and rebutting the argument that Israel's non-participation in the court nullifies its jurisdiction. Critics debate the legitimacy of Palestine's statehood and the validity of the ICC's claims of jurisdiction, expressing opinions that the ICC operates with bias, especially against Israel.
