Goldstone report put ICC at risk

In response to the UN threat to prosecute Israel in the International Criminal Court, the country launched a diplomatic campaign aimed at persuading world leaders that the precedent would endanger them, too.

America under Bush refused to join the ICC because it was likely to prosecute US soldiers for “crimes” committed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Israel scored a surprising success when Spain rescinded its universal jurisdiction law. Used at the time to prosecute IDF officials for an anti-terrorist operation, the law was shown to be dangerous to Spain’s own anti-terrorism officials. Other countries have restricted their universal jurisdiction, too.

Goldstone report may force NATO countries to curtail ICC’s jurisdiction, lest they too be sued eventually.

Comparing with this news the news about Golan Heights fades a little bit. Although it is still heart-breaking to hear about that Isarel will again participate in the war.
