| Will PA focus on settlements at ICC? | | Daoud Kuttab - Al-Monitor - To start war crimes cases against Israelis
involved in last summer`s attack on Gaza, Palestinians would need to
show to the ICC`s satisfaction that investigations carried out by
Israel`s own judicial system were not effective; this might take
years. On the other hand, the case against Israeli settlement
activities, land confiscation and the movement of persons from the
occupying country to the occupied areas form a much easier case to
win.
The Fourth Geneva Convention makes very clear that settlements and
those directing and protecting the settlers are committing a violation
of international humanitarian law — which makes the settlement track
stronger for Palestinians, since it is a crime that is still
continuing, and no denial of its existence is possible. ak | 6/4/2015 |
