With more than 20,000 Palestinians dead, areas of Gaza turned to rubble, ICC prosecutor Karim Khan has yet to investigate either Israel or Hamas for the deaths on and after 7 October– despite his exemplary hair trigger speed against Vladimir Putin for war crimes committed in Ukraine.
With South Africa's referral of Israel to the International Court of Justice for genocide, and the U.S.’s continued strong support for the Netanyahu government’s military response as geopolitical context, many are looking for the International Criminal Court to take action - if only as a warning to the parties, but so far Karim Khan, the British barrister serving as ICC prosecutor, shows no sign of action, reinforcing allegations of “rich country justice."
Two close up observers of the process Hasmik Egian and Mouin Rabbani gave their take in the indispensable Pass Blue and will try to explain to the media International legal impotence in the face of alleged Israeli actions.
