The ICJ issued today a statement during the interactive dialogue with the ongoing independent, international commission of inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, denouncing the failure by Israel to ensure accountability for international law violations.
Israel must end the cycle of impunity for crimes under international law committed by Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and overhaul its accountability framework and procedures, the ICJ said today.
Until then, the international community should fully support the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) investigation into the Situation in Palestine, as the sole avenue of accountability for past and ongoing crimes falling under the jurisdiction of the Court.
