In an interview with KHAMENEI.IR, Gharibabadi emphasized the importance of recent rulings by the International Criminal Court (ICC) and discussed the legal challenges in holding Israeli officials accountable.<\/p>\n
“We are yet to witness a truly fair tribunal to address the crimes of the Zionist regime and its criminal officials,” Gharibabadi said.<\/p>\n
He pointed to past actions by the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which issued a provisional ruling against Israel under the Genocide Convention, as a precedent for international condemnation of war crimes and crimes against humanity by the regime.<\/p>\n
Following the ICJ’s decision, the ICC recently issued arrest warrants for two senior Israeli officials. Gharibabadi described this as a significant, albeit delayed, step, highlighting that the ICC\u2019s decision came nine years after investigations began.<\/p>\n
While the ICC ruling is a positive step, it is far from sufficient, Gharibabadi stated.<\/p>\n
The court\u2019s enforcement mechanisms remain weak, and there is no guarantee these individuals will face justice, particularly if they avoid travel to ICC member states, he added.<\/p>\n
On the possibility of stronger measures, Gharibabadi referenced calls for the establishment of a special tribunal, either under the UN Security Council or through a coalition of nations impacted by Israeli actions. He also acknowledged challenges, including the lack of consensus among countries and the procedural complexities of such courts.<\/p>\n
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei recently stated that mere arrest warrants are insufficient and suggested the need for issuing death penalties for Israeli leaders.<\/p>\n
The formation of a joint tribunal by a coalition of nations opposed to Israeli crimes is conceivable, but it would require extensive collaboration and ratification by national legislatures, he explained.<\/p>\n
Gharibabadi said that issuing a death penalty for the two Israeli officials is not impossible and requires more intensified efforts. He, however, criticized the lack of a fair tribunal for dealing with the crimes of the Zionist regime and its criminal officials.<\/p>\n
