If you're like me, you've been waiting for analysis from @sfardm, Israel's foremost international human rights lawyer, on the ICC warrants for Netanyahu & Gallant. As ever, Michael doesn't disappoint.

The following is from Michael's FB page, translated from the original Hebrew:

[Kate Vigneswaran @KateVigneswaran]

The array of State responses indicating they will or may not enforce arrest warrants signals another threat to the rule of law. #RomeStatute member States have committed to enforce #ICC arrest warrants without exception. Warrants against #Netanyahu and #Gallant are no different.

[اللجنة الدولية للحقوقيين | ICJ MENA @ICJ_MENA]

The responsibility to enforce the arrest warrants remains with States, and they must not give aid or comfort to, or shield any of the suspects from #accountability (2/2)

States must not shy away from voting for a resolution to move the ILC Draft Articles on #CrimesAgainstHumanity to a full negotiating conference. Read @hrw compelling piece on why

In a year of so much suffering, a needed reminder to never give up. #Belarusians deserve a criminal investigation into allegations of #CAH committed against them Now States must increase #ICC funding and the #OTP prioritise resources for the investigation
