Fatou Bensouda Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) has affirmed that Israel’s misinformation and smear campaigns do not change facts about the conduct of her office’s work concerning the situation in Palestine.
“Fact: my office is executing its mandate concerning Palestine situation with utmost professionalism independence and objectivity in strict conformity with the Rome Statute. Any insinuation or assertion to the contrary is simply misled and unfounded” Bensouda said in Twitter remarks on Friday.
The ICC Prosecutor had stated last December that “war crimes have been or are being committed in the West Bank including east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip” and that “there are no substantial reasons to believe that an investigation would not serve the interests of justice.”
