"Mexico and Chile Seek ICC Intervention in Israel-Hamas Conflict"

Mexico and Chile have referred the Israel-Hamas conflict to the International Criminal Court (ICC) over potential crimes, expressing concern over the escalating violence and civilian casualties. Mexico's foreign ministry stated that the ICC was the appropriate forum to establish potential criminal responsibility, while Chile's Foreign Minister expressed interest in supporting the investigation into possible war crimes. Israel, not a member of the ICC, does not recognize its jurisdiction, but the ICC's prosecutor has emphasized the court's jurisdiction over potential war crimes committed by both Hamas militants in Israel and Israelis in Gaza.

Former Russian Soldier Exposes War Crimes to ICC

A former Russian soldier, Igor Salikov, has sought asylum in the Netherlands and wants to testify at the International Criminal Court (ICC) about war crimes he witnessed while fighting in Ukraine. Salikov claims to have been a member of the Russian-backed forces in eastern Ukraine and worked as an instructor for the Wagner mercenary group. He has already provided testimony to Ukrainian prosecutors, who have confirmed some of his claims. The ICC has received information from Salikov but cannot confirm or deny his engagement as a potential witness. The court is currently investigating alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Ukraine.

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.
