ICC Not There to Implement Justice: Islamic Human Rights Commission Chief

IQNA – The chairman of the London-based Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC) criticized the International Criminal Court for its double standards when it comes to prosecuting war crimes.

In a video posted on the IHRC’s YouTube channel, Massoud Shadjareh said while the ICC issued arrest warrants immediately after the outbreak of war in Ukraine, it has turned a blind eye to the Israeli regime’s war crimes in the Gaza Strip for over two months.

“Don't expect the ICC to bring about justice if you’re from the Global South” he said.

In fact, he added, the ICC is not there to implement justice, but it’s there to safeguard the interests of the Western colonial powers.

Nearly 19,000 Palestinians have been killed and thousands more wounded in the Israeli regime’s brutal attacks on Gaza since October 7.
