Arab Organisation for Human Rights in the UK (AOHR UK) is organising an urgent and timely webinar focusing on the recent attacks against the International Criminal Court (ICC) by the US administration and its allies, following the ICC’s announcement to seek arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel’s Défense Minister Yoav Gallant on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity over the war in Gaza.
The Biden administration has recently condemned the ICC’s decision to issue arrest warrants for Israeli leaders over war crimes in Gaza. This move by the ICC is a crucial step for international law, while the US administration’s response marks a significant setback in its global reputation.
Recent threats against a former ICC prosecutor to halt investigations into Israeli war crimes in Palestine underscore the urgent need for the international community to protect the ICC’s integrity and independence.
Key Discussion Points
- Upholding international law and the crucial role of the ICC
- Detailed analysis of the Israeli war crimes in Gaza

Join us for this critical discussion as we emphasize the importance of respecting international law and support the ICC’s mission to bring justice to victims of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
