Is there any precedent for the ICC prosecuting accessory to genocide?
Have they prosecuted any of the actual state parties to the Rome statute who are still providing arms to Israel?
I don’t think it’s as clear cut as you say it is.
- vidarh 11mo agoBefore making a case for accessory to genocide, they'd first need a binding judgement that it is a genocide, presumably. I agree it probably isn't as clear cut, or at least not as simple.
- ta20240528 11mo agoThe ICJ ruled that its plausibly genocide. Based on work done by other UN agencies.
- vidarh 11mo agoThe problem is a decision it is plausible it is one isn't a ruling that it is one. There is no legal basis for deciding someone is an accessory just because it is plausible. Personally I consider it a genocide, and wish there was a legal basis for going after people as accessories, but there just isn't yet.
