ICC refers Hungary to oversight body for not arresting Netanyahu during state visit
|
[IsraelTimes] As Israeli leader visited in April, Hungarian PM Orban called Budapest’s commitment to International Criminal Court ‘half-hearted,’ and began the process of leaving it
A panel of judges at the International Criminal Court has reported Hungary to the court’s oversight organization for failing to arrest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he visited Budapest in April, stating that the move undercut the court’s ability to bring suspects to justice.
The Israeli leader received a red carpet welcome from Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban during a state visit, in defiance of an ICC arrest warrant. Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant are accused of crimes against humanity in connection with the war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
Israel staunchly rejects the charges, insisting all its warfighting is in accordance with international law and pointing to efforts to avoid civilian casualties and facilitate the entry of international aid. It also disputes the court’s jurisdiction over the matter since the country is not a member of the court.
In a filing released late Thursday, the three-judge panel wrote that "the obligation to cooperate was sufficiently clear to Hungary" and the failure to arrest Netanyahu "severely undermines the Court’s ability to carry out its mandate."
The ICC has no police force and relies on countries worldwide to execute arrest warrants.
The court’s oversight body, the Assembly of States Parties, has limited powers to sanction Hungary. It will consider the next steps during its annual meeting in December.
The Hungarian leader, regarded by critics as an autocrat and the EU’s most intransigent spoiler in the bloc’s decision-making, has defended his decision not to arrest Netanyahu.
During the visit, Orban said his country’s commitment to the ICC was " half-hearted " and began the process to withdraw Hungary from the court.
Orban signed the Rome Statute, the treaty that created the court, in 2001 during his first term as prime minister.
The court dismissed arguments from Hungary that Parliament never incorporated the court’s statute into Hungarian law, saying "it was Hungary’s responsibility to ensure that such legislation was in place."
The decision comes as Gaza’s population of more than 2 million Paleostinians is in a humanitarian crisis, reliant on the limited aid allowed into the territory and beset with distribution problems, amid Israel’s war against the Hamas
 ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
terror group, which is still holding 50 hostages.
It’s the third time in the past year that the court has investigated one of its member states for failing to arrest suspects. In February, judges asked Italia to explain why the country sent a Libyan man, suspected of torture and murder, home on an Italian military aircraft rather than handing him over to the court.
In October, judges reported Mongolia to the court’s oversight organization for failing to arrest Russian President Vladimir Putin
...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances...
when he visited the Asian nation.
