The UN special rapporteur on Palestine, Francesca Albanese criticised the International Criminal Court (ICC) for being slow in prosecuting those responsible for war crimes committed by Israel in Gaza.

“Trials will also be needed. Criminals who have planned, ordered and executed such crimes must be brought to justice,” she said.

“National courts with jurisdiction over war crimes, CAH [crimes against humanity] & genocide must be activated, as the ICC is proving slow and ineffective on the situation of Palestine,” she added.
