Rapid response webinar recording - the ICC in Israel and Palestine: Law, politics, and arrest warrants
In case you missed the event, below is a recording of the International Law and Politics Working Group event that took place on Tuesday 28 May 2024.
In a landmark moment in international criminal law, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has applied for arrest warrants for senior leaders of Hamas and Israel. This development has been - and doubtless will continue to be - lauded in some circles and heavily criticised in others. Equally, the unfolding proceedings at the ICC (as well as the ICJ) are likely to be the subject of extensive technical legal commentary, as well as impassioned political debate.
Stepping back slightly, the roundtable aimed to take stock of the complex interactions between various aspects of international law and politics reflected in and likely to stem from these developments. Drawing together expert participants from across the disciplines of international law and international politics, the roundtable provided an opportunity to reflect on the arrest warrant applications in broader international legal and political context, as well as the potential implications for the various parties and institutions involved.
