ICC arrest warrants for Israeli leaders welcomed

The Namibian government has welcomed the decision of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to formally issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant.“Although this decision is somewhat belated, it is nevertheless a step in the right direction, demonstrating that the Palestinian people deserve justice, just like other people in any part of the world,” the international relations and cooperation’s ministry executive director, Penda Naanda, said in a statement issued on Friday.“Namibia also believes that the role of international institutions in upholding justice and fairness is essential. When these institutions act impartially and without bias, they can provide a framework for accountability, protecting the human rights of all, including Palestinians, thereby strengthening peace and stability, not only in the Middle East but worldwide.” This helps to ensure that justice is not only done but also seen to be done, restoring trust and faith in the international system, he said.Naanda urged all United Nations member states to cooperate with the ICC in order to “bring the perpetrators to justice and to answer for their crimes”.-STAFF REPORTER
