DAWN has filed a legal brief urging the International Criminal Court to investigate former US officials for their roles in supporting Israel's actions in Gaza that resulted in war crimes. Highlighting the plight of children like Mahmoud Ajjour, who lost his arms due to violence in the region, the organization stresses the moral imperative for accountability. They argue that evidence of culpability exists under the Rome Statute, which defines accessorial support for crimes as criminal. The call for action emphasizes the devastating impact on Palestinians and intends to challenge US foreign policy in the Middle East.
Mahmoud Ajjour, a 9-year-old boy who lost his arms in an Israeli attack, symbolizes the devastating impact of war on children in Gaza.
Our organization, DAWN, urges the ICC to investigate senior US officials due to overwhelming evidence of their complicity in war crimes against Palestinians.
Prosecuting US officials in the ICC is crucial, as Article 25 of the Rome Statute holds accessorial support for a crime as a crime itself.
The evidence is clear: Biden, Blinken, and Austin provided support to Israel knowing it would facilitate significant human rights violations in Gaza.
