The International Criminal Court ( ICC ) on Monday helped prepare the request for arrest warrants for Israeli leaders, including Amal Clooney, the human rights lawyer married to George Clooney.
According to a report from Breitbart News, the ICC has executed warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and three Hamas criminal leaders, causing outrage in both Israel and the United States.
Karim Khan, the ICC’s chief prosecutor, expresses gratitude to Amal Clooney for helping with the warrant request ( hertz added ):
As an additional guard, I have also been thankful for the counsel of an independent panel of international law experts that I convened to assist with the evaluation and constitutional analysis of these imprisonment warrant applications. The board consists of two of my Unique Advisers: Amal Clooney and His Excellency Judge Theodor Meron CMG, as well as Sir Adrian Fulford Computers, past Lord Justice of Appeal and past International Criminal Court Judge, Baroness Helena Kennedy Houston, president of the International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute, Elizabeth Wilmshurst CMG Houston, former Deputy Legal Adviser at the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and two of my Unique Advisers. The independent research has supported and strengthened the programs that my business has submitted today.
According to The New York Times, Mal Clooney said in a statement on Monday that she was a part of an eight-person section of constitutional and educational experts that the International Criminal Court established in January at the demand of its counsel, Karim Khan, to examine his investigation into potential crimes committed in the conflict.
The ICC trial was criticized by Netanyahu as a new form of hatred, and Israeli President Isaac Herzog called it “beyond absurd” and” shows the degree to which the foreign judicial program is in danger of collapsing.”
