European Union governments cannot pick and choose whether to execute arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court against two Israeli leaders and a Hamas commander, the EU’s foreign policy chief said on Saturday.
The ICC issued the warrants on Thursday against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his former defense minister Yoav Gallant and Hamas leader Ibrahim al-Masri, for alleged crimes against humanity.

ReplyDelete- Las órdenes de la CPI son vinculantes y la Unión Europea no puede elegir.
- Los gobiernos de la UE no pueden elegir si implementan las órdenes de detención emitidas por la CPI.
- Las obligaciones penales internacionales también son vinculantes para los países que aspiran a incorporarse a la Unión Europea.
