International Support Urged for ICC Investigation into Israel-Palestine Conflict

Human Rights Watch is calling on all International Criminal Court (ICC) member countries to voice their support for the court's role in investigating alleged war crimes committed in the Israel-Palestine conflict. Despite clear evidence of war crimes in Israel and Gaza, only a few ICC member countries have made statements referring to the ICC and the current hostilities. The ICC prosecutor has not issued a public statement reminding both sides of their obligations under international law. The lack of support for the ICC's role in this conflict highlights double standards in victims' access to accountability.
