Why Lebanon should join the International Criminal Court
ICC jurisdiction in Lebanon would mean a chance of accountability for Israeli war crimes and renewed political pressure.
“We are going to do what we did in Gaza.”
That’s how a senior Israeli official described the Israeli ground invasion of Lebanon. The threat is real. Similar tactics to those used in Gaza are playing out in Lebanon: evacuation orders followed shortly thereafter by the wholesale destruction of entire apartment blocks, dozens of medics and first responders killed, Israeli soldiers looting the homes of civilians, infrastructure – including bridges connecting the south to the rest of the country – decimated. After a month, more than 1,200 people have been killed, including more than 120 children. One million have been displaced.
