ICC ‘significantly progressed’ in preliminary examination of alleged war crimes in Palestine
The Office of The Prosecutor at the International Criminal Court (ICC) says it has “advanced and significantly progressed” its preliminary examination into alleged war crimes in Palestine, with a particular focus given to Israeli settlements and the demolitions of Palestinian homes.
According to the annual update, the Office “has focused its analysis on alleged war crimes committed in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, since 13 June 2014”, namely that “the Israeli authorities have allegedly been involved in the settlement of civilians onto the territory of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the forced removal of Palestinians from their homes”.
The Office notes that “settlement-related activities have reportedly included the confiscation and appropriation of land; the planning and authorisation of settlement expansions”, and “constructions of residential units and related infrastructures in the settlements”.
