Genocide – Individuals as Accessory
Updated 2024-04-01
2024-03-05 Australian PM First Western Leader Referred to ICC as ‘Accessory to Genocide in Gaza’ Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is one of several Western leaders who have provided political and material support of the Israeli government and military over the past five months as their bombardment of Gaza has killed more than 30,000 people, but on Monday he became the first to be referred to the International Criminal Court for being an “accessory to genocide.”
More than 100 lawyers supported the referral under Article 15 of the Rome Statute, arguing that Albanese, a member of the Labor Party, as well as members of his Cabinet and of Parliament, have provided Israel with “rhetorical support in their public statements, their press conferences, their speeches” as well as material assistance, as attorney Sheryn Omeri told ABC’s “News Breakfast.” https://www.commondreams.org/news/australian-pm-icc
