Title: The Ability of ICC to Achieve the Aim of Statute and Put an Ending for Crimes Committed in Palestine
Abstract: Palestinian membership in the ICC is an important step for achieving accountability for Israeli human rights violations against Palestinians, since it could lead to a trial; the war crimes, Crime against Humanity, genocide crimes and aggression of Israeli leaders. However, many practical and legal obstacles had stands in the way of such an outcome, particularly the political opposition of Israel and its Western allies to a prosecution of Israeli crimes. This was evident in the intense efforts that Israel and the West made to prevent the PA from joining the ICC on November 2012, when a UN resolution recognizing the Palestine’s statehood the ICC accepted the membership of Palestine on January 2015. On this paper we will know how can ICC have the jurisdiction over crimes committed in Palestine? Are these crimes under the jurisdiction of ICC? What are the constraints to prosecute the perpetrators crimes in Palestine?
