UK government challenged over ICC inquiry into Israel’s conduct
Tories reject international criminal court’s right to investigate war with Hamas but Labour wants an inquiry into potential war crimes
The ICC prosecutor, Gen Karim Khan, has insisted he has jurisdiction, but under the premiership of Boris Johnson the government said the court had no legal right to interfere.
英国前政府认为没有权利，ICC检查官却认为有。
“We do not accept that the ICC has jurisdiction in this instance given that Israel is not party to the statute of Rome and Palestine is not a sovereign state. This investigation gives the impression of being a partial and prejudicial attack on a friend and ally of the UK’s,” the letter stated.
"Not a party to the statute of Rome ", 这个中国应该也不是吧，未来ICC也不能审核中国？
In August the UK opposed a reference to the international court of justice, the body that arbitrates on inter-state disputes.
Writing in the Guardian last week, Khan said: “My office has ongoing jurisdiction in relation to any alleged crimes committed on the territory of the state of Palestine by any party. This includes jurisdiction over current events in Gaza and in the West Bank.
