Ukrainians slam Germany’s flag restrictions

Kiev’s ambassador has called Berlin’s Victory Day ban “very short-sighted and unfounded” FILE PHOTO: A WWII commemoration ceremony is held at the Treptow Park memorial in Berlin, Germany, on May 9, 2022. © Global Look Press / Volker Hohlfeld The decision of the Berlin police to ban Russian and Ukrainian flags at memorial sites in the city during Victory Day celebrations on May 8 and 9 sparked criticism from local Ukrainian associations, as well as the current and former Ukrainian ambassadors to Germany. Apart from the flags of the two countries, the ribbon of St. George – a popular WWII victory symbol in Russia – as well as mock military uniforms, military and marching songs, and any “exclamations… that are likely to condone or glorify” the...

US: Palestinian quest for justice counterproductive

By Stuart Littlewood www.redressonline.com You could not make it up. “The one who needs to fear the International Criminal Court in The Hague is the Palestinian Authority, which has a unity government with Hamas, a terror organisation like [the Islamic State group] which commits war crimes.” So says Israel’s prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu. This certifiable crackpot, this bloody butcher who tops the world’s “most wanted” list, was speaking after Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas signed the Rome Statute, at long last joining Palestine to the International Criminal Court (ICC). Membership of the ICC could enable the Palestinians to file charges against Israel for war crimes. Abbas’s move came after his disappointment when a UN Security Council draft resolution callin...

Palestine at the International Criminal Court

By Lawrence Davidson The International Criminal Court (ICC) was designed as a vehicle for the prosecution of the most heinous of crimes committed by individuals in positions of state authority – those military officers and politicians at the top of a national chain of command. Until recently, ICC prosecutions have been limited to leaders of small and weak states. This is not because the leaders of powerful nations are not sometimes culpable, but rather because no member state of the ICC has yet brought a relevant complaint. Going to the ICC This situation is about to change. In November 2012 Palestine achieved official observer status within the United Nations and this position allowed it to join the ICC. The Palestinian National Authority (PNA – also known as the Pal...

Taking the Nazi Jewish regime to the ICC

The way ahead: taking Israel to the ICC By Ruth Tenne The stalled “peace” negotiation with Israel seems to suggest that the only viable option left for the Palestinian nation is to take Israel to the International Criminal Court (ICC). Indeed, the chief Palestinian negotiator, Saeb Erekat, said recently that “the Palestinians would take Israel to the International Criminal Court (ICC) for war crimes and violations of international law. The Palestinians will also seek membership in 63 international organizations, including the ICC”. In November 2012, the United Nations General Assembly recognized Palestine as a non-member state, which meant that the Palestinians are free to sign up to the ICC’s Rome Statute and take Israel to the criminal court in Hague. However...

British blackmail to cripple Palestinians’ UN bid?

“Promise not to prosecute Israeli war criminals, not to go for full UN membership, not to seek justice but submit to rigged talks, and we’ll support you” By Stuart Littlewood Britain’s Foreign Office, on its website, states loudly and clearly: The UK is committed to upholding international justice and all of our international obligations. Our core principle is clear. Those guilty of war crimes must be brought to justice whether they are Israeli or any other nationality. We are also committed to ensuring that UK systems are robust in meeting its international law obligations. Yet ugly rumours are flying that the British government twisted the arm of Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and told him the UK would support Palestine’s modest upgrad...

When will international justice save Palestine?

By Stuart Littlewood Eighteen months ago UK Foreign Secretary William Hague delivered an important speech at the Hague, home of the International Criminal Court (ICC). He was saying all the right things, for example: “The rule of law is critical to the preservation of the rights of individuals and the protection of the interests of all states.” “You cannot have lasting peace without justice and accountability.” “International laws and agreements are the only durable framework to address problems without borders.” “Such agreements – if they are upheld – are a unifying force in a divided world.” He spoke of a growing reliance on a rules-based international system. “We depend more and more on other countries abiding by international laws… We need to ...

How the UK cheats international law to protect its favourite war criminals

‘Universal Jurisdiction’ counts for nothing in the twisted world of the Foreign Office By Stuart Littlewood While Western nations are rubbing their hands in glee at the thought of Russian Presidet Vladimir Putin being arrested and dragged before the International Criminal Court (ICC) on charges of war crimes in Ukraine, people may be shocked to learn that the UK, for more than a decade, has reneged on its international law obligations under ‘Universal Jurisdiction’ in order to save its Israeli “friends” from the clutches of the ICC. The 1949 Geneva Conventions on the laws of war requires signatory states to pursue, prosecute or extradite those suspected of grave breaches of the conventions, such as war crimes.For that purpose the principle of Universal Jurisdiction ...

(Photo: Oren Ziv, via ActiveStills.com) By Ilan Pappe I am writing this op-ed on March 10, 2023. Seventy-five years ago, on this date, the military command of the Zionist leadership publicized Plan Dalet, or Plan D, which, among other guidelines, instructed the Zionist forces on their way to occupy hundreds of Palestinian villages and several towns and neighborhoods in historical Palestine, to carry out: “Destruction of villages (setting fire to, blowing up, and planting mines in the debris), especially those population centers which are difficult to control continuously. “Mounting search and control operations according to the following guideline...

Mainstream Media is Still Anti-Palestinian: News Coverage Surrounding Electoral Victory of Sarah Jama

Canadian politician Sarah Jama. (photo: Joey Coleman, via Wikimedia Commons) By Paul Salvatori Last week, Sarah Jama won the seat for her Canadian provincial riding, as a member of the New Democratic Party (NDP). Leading up to her victory, however, the mainstream news coverage of her was both unfair and anti-Palestinian. Of note is that the coverage was not simply coming from conservative media, which routinely attacks Palestinian solidarity efforts as “irrational” or “dangerous” leftism. It was also coming from liberal media too, such as The Toronto Star. Like their conservative counterparts, liberal media sided with Israeli ideologues who were attacking Jama as “antisemitic” for, predictably, supporting Palestinian justice. And, ...
