Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media

Freedom and Security of the Press Operating in Areas of Conflict: Discussion

1:30 pm

Mr. Tim Dawson:

Not that I am aware of. The ICJ is obviously available and it states that the ICC is open to individual complainants but it is then at the discretion of the chief prosecutor how quickly things are progressed. He seems somewhat mercurial. He was very interventionist during the early months of the Ukrainian war, visiting several times and taking cases there. He has been much slower in respect of complaints about Gaza and Israel, although in recent times he seems have been slightly more active.
