Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (7 Mar 2024)

Gino Kenny: I acknowledge what the Tánaiste says. I acknowledge that Ireland has done more than the rest of the European Union in calling out what Israel has been doing, and not only in the past six months. If you go to the Middle East, you will find that people from Palestine are very generous in their comments on what the Irish people have done and the empathy we have shown, but we have not done...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (7 Mar 2024)

Micheál Martin: The Deputy knows the answer to his question about the occupied territories Bill. The European Union has a legal competence when it comes to trade. I do not agree with the Deputy that it would have the impact he says it would.

Gino Kenny: People said that of South Africa in the 1980s.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (7 Mar 2024)

Micheál Martin: I did not interrupt the Deputy. He has asked questions.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (7 Mar 2024)

Catherine Connolly: Deputy, let the Tánaiste answer.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (7 Mar 2024)

Micheál Martin: The Deputy does not allow me to answer the question he has put. I do not interrupt him. Europe has taken steps in respect of trying to identify goods that come from the settlements and the possibility that we would be in a position to boycott them. The most effective decision we have taken as a country within the European Union - it will be difficult, by the way, to get unanimity on this -...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ukraine War (7 Mar 2024)

Ukraine War

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ukraine War (7 Mar 2024)

James Lawless: 10. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade his views of the establishment of an international centre for the prosecution of the crime of aggression in Ukraine by Eurojust; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10861/24]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ukraine War (7 Mar 2024)

Willie O'Dea: 54. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the action he is taking to promote accountability for violations of international law, including international crimes, arising out of Russia's invasion of Ukraine; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10851/24]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ukraine War (7 Mar 2024)

James Lawless: I ask the Tánaiste about the establishment of an international centre for the prosecution of the crime of aggression, with a particular focus on Ukraine and Russian activities there, and the suggestion that has been made by Eurojust that such a body be established. Will the Tánaiste outline his views on that proposal?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ukraine War (7 Mar 2024)

Micheál Martin: I propose to take Questions Nos. 10 and 54 together. I thank the Deputy for raising this question. The Government has been consistent in the pursuit of accountability for Russia's illegal and unjustified war of aggression against Ukraine. This includes accountability of the Russian leadership responsible for the crime of aggression. Ireland is one of 40 states, plus the European Union,...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ukraine War (7 Mar 2024)

James Lawless: This is a really important step. As I understand it, Russia is outside the jurisdiction of the ICC, not being a party to the Rome Statute. I think of historical parallels. I am not sure if the Tánaiste is familiar with the book East West Street by Philippe Sands. It is an excellent work for many reasons. It chronicles the two Jewish lawyers who effectively led the Nuremburg trials...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ukraine War (7 Mar 2024)

Micheál Martin: I thank Deputy Lawless for his insights, which are valuable and important. Ultimately, this is also about accountability of those who perpetrate crimes of this kind against a civilian population and against a country. There must be accountability under international humanitarian law in the case of what is happening in the Middle East and, likewise, in Ukraine. Part of the challenges here...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ukraine War (7 Mar 2024)

James Lawless: A supplementary point that occurs to me is that while it has historically been difficult to capture evidence for prosecution of these types of crimes, in 2024 we have access to real-time footage, not only from the journalists - we heard the BBC and other respected bodies mentioned earlier - but also from people on the ground, from postings on their own social media accounts. Obviously, there...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Human Rights (7 Mar 2024)

Micheál Martin: First of all, I welcome the Deputy raising these questions because we do not have the same level of scrutiny on Russia in this House as perhaps we should have with regard to debate. It is a striking feature of the House that there has been an absence of a more detailed debate as to what is happening within Russia in the suppression of freedom of expression. I agree with Deputy O'Callaghan...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Human Rights (7 Mar 2024)

Jim O'Callaghan: The violations of human rights in Russia and the stamping out of political opposition are important because Russia as a country exerts significant influence throughout the world. There are very many other countries around the world which do not comply with the principles of human rights that we respect in this country but they are of limited influence. Unfortunately, globally, Russia's...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Human Rights (7 Mar 2024)

Brendan Howlin: I certainly join others in commending the bravery of Alexei Navalny and all others who stand against Putin's autocracy. The Tánaiste set out rightly the litany of human rights violations now afoot in Russia. On our actions, I produced and brought before the House, as the Chair of the justice committee here present will recall, the Magnitsky legislation to ensure we and our financial...
