The necessary statutory criteria for the initiation of the investigation were confirmed by the Office of The Prosecutor based on three reasons: &#8220;First, that there was a reasonable basis to believe that war crimes had been or were being committed in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip. Second, that there were potential cases arising from the situation which would be admissible. Third, that there would be no substantial reasons to believe that an investigation would not serve the interests of justice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Madam prosecutor has also stressed that investigations must be \u201cgrounded objectively in facts and law\u201d and that the ICC possesses no other agenda than performing its duties mandated by its founding statute, which is to \u201cpromote accountability for Rome Statute Crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">By the holding of the Pre-Trial Chamber early last month, the court found that it has jurisdiction to investigate within the affected Palestinian areas, and the judges held unanimously that Palestine could be considered a state party to the Rome Statute. Consequently, according to the ICC\u2019s founding statute, given that the Pre-Trial Chamber had established the relevant jurisdiction, the office is now obliged to launch a formal investigation as outlined in Bensouda\u2019s statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Karimi &amp; Associates Law Firm\u00a0presents according to the\u00a0International Criminal Court: The International Criminal Court Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda\u00a0announced that her office has launched an investigation into alleged Israeli war crimes committed in Palestinian territories since June 2014.
