Rights group urges ICC to investigate “top-ranking” Israeli military lawyer

A US-based human rights group filed a complaint on Monday calling on the International Criminal Court to investigate Eyal Toledano, a senior Israeli military leader.

Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN), a nonprofit group founded by murdered Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, said that Toledano should be investigated for “war crimes and crime against humanity, including the crime of apartheid.”

The international court in The Hague has received numerous filings detailing serious violations against Palestinians, but DAWN’s intervention is unique in its focus on a specific individual.

DAWN notes that as West Bank legal advisor between 2016 and 2020, Toledano was “the top-ranking legal authority” in the territory, effectively serving as “the attorney general of Israel’s occupation.”

Toledano is currently deputy military advocate general, facilitating the Israeli army’s whitewash self-investigations of its crimes against Palestinians, including the killing of Al Jazeera correspondent Shireen Abu Akleh earlier this year.

In his previous role, according to DAWN, “Toledano oversaw and was complicit in the commission of a wide range” of violations, including home demolitions, forced displacement, mass restrictions on freedom of movement and advancing Israeli annexation of the West Bank.

During his time as West Bank legal advisor, the Israeli military “conducted 40 punitive home demolitions, which displaced 210 people,” DAWN states. Punitive home demolitions are a form of collective punishment – a war crime.

An additional 2,115 Palestinians were displaced as a result of Israel’s confiscation and demolition of hundreds of residences during Toledano’s tenure.

Biden administration says Mohammed bin Salman should be granted sovereign immunity in Khashoggi civil case
Court filing says Saudi crown prince’s promotion to the role of prime minister meant that he was ‘the sitting head of government and, accordingly, immune’

The Biden administration has told a US court that Mohammed bin Salman should be granted sovereign immunity in a civil case involving the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, effectively ending a last ditch attempt to hold the Saudi crown prince legally accountable for the 2018 killing.

In a filing released on late on Thursday night, the Biden administration said the crown prince’s recent promotion to the role of prime minister meant that he was “the sitting head of government and, accordingly, immune” from the lawsuit.

Remove immunity from murder from ' heads of government ' . It's a law cooked up by heads of government.
