ElBaradei urges Arab ICC membership
Former Egyptian Vice President Mohamed ElBaradei called on Arab countries to join the International Criminal Court to strengthen its role in holding perpetrators of crimes against humanity accountable. This is especially important amid campaigns targeting the court by the United States and Israel following the issuance of arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other suspects. He explained that 17 out of 22 Arab countries are not members of the court, and currently only Jordan, Tunisia, and Palestine are among its members, which weakens the court’s ability to administer justice in the region. ElBaradei urged support for the court to reinforce international law in the face of political pressures and aggression, particularly after arrest warrants were issued for Israeli officials as part of investigations into war crimes in Gaza.
