The international criminal court is considering whether the Palestinian
Authority is "enough like a state" for it to bring a case alleging that Israeli
troops committed war crimes in the recent assault on Gaza.
The deliberations would potentially open the way to putting Israeli military
commanders in the dock at The Hague over the campaign, which claimed more than
1,300 lives, and set an important precedent for the court over what cases it
can hear.
As part of the process the court's head of jurisdictions, part of the office of
the prosecutor, is examining every international agreement signed by the PA to
decide whether it behaves - and is regarded by others - as operating like a
state.
Following talks with the Arab League's head, Amr Moussa, and senior PA
officials, moves have accelerated inside the court to deliver a ruling on
whether it may be able to insist on jurisdiction over alleged war crimes
perpetrated in Gaza, with a decision from the prosecutor's office expected
within "months, not years".
The issue arises because although the ICC potentially has "global jurisdiction"
to investigate crimes which fall into its remit no matter where they were
committed, Israel - despite having signed the Rome statute that founded the
court and having expressed "deep sympathy" with the court's goals - is not a
party.
The ICC, which has 108 member states, has not so far recognised Palestine as a
sovereign state or as a member.
The latest moves in The Hague come amid mounting international pressure on
Israel and a growing recognition in Israeli government circles that it may
eventually have to defend itself against war crimes allegations. The Guardian
has also learned that a confidential inquiry by the International Committee of
the Red Cross into the actions of Israel and Hamas during the recent conflict
in Gaza is expected to accuse Israel of using "excessive force" - prohibited
under the fourth Geneva convention.
The Red Cross has been collecting information for two parallel inquiries, one
into the conduct of Israel and a second into Hamas, both of which will be
presented in private to the parties involved.
In the case of Israel, the Red Cross is expected to highlight three areas of
concern: the Israeli Defence Forces' "use and choice of weapons in a complex
and densely populated environment"; the issue of "proportionality"; and
concerns over the IDF's lack of distinction between combatants and
non-combatants during Operation Cast Lead. Hamas is likely to be challenged
over its use of civilian facilities as cover for its fighters; its summary
executions and kneecappings of Palestinians during the campaign; and its
indiscriminate firing of rockets into civilian areas.
Meanwhile, sources at the ICC say it is considering two potential tracks that
would permit it to investigate what happened in Gaza. As well as determining
whether the PA is recognised internationally as a sufficiently state-like
entity, the head of jurisdictions in the office of the international criminal
court's prosecutor, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, is looking at whether the court can
consider war crimes allegations on the basis of the dual nationality of either
victims or alleged perpetrators whose second passport is with a country party
to the court.
The court's deliberations follow more than 220 complaints about Israel's
actions in Gaza. "It does not matter necessarily whether the Palestinian
National Authority is in charge of its own borders," said a source at the
court. "Right now the court is looking at everything from agreements it has
signed on education to the constitution of its legal system."
Yesterday, Ehud Olmert, Israel's prime minister, warned Palestinian militants
their continuing rocket attacks on Israel would not go unpunished. He said
further strikes would "be answered with a painful, harsh, strong and
uncompromising response from the security forces". More than 100 rockets and
mortars have exploded in Israel in the six weeks since it ended its air and
ground assault on Gaza, to which the government has responded with airstrikes.
Olmert's warning came as Israel's attorney general notified the prime minister
that he was considering indicting him on charges of allegedly taking
cash-stuffed envelopes from a Jewish-American businessman. Five corruption
cases are pending against Olmert, although he has denied all wrongdoing. His
spokesman said yesterday the charges against the prime minister would
"disappear in the end".
