Professor Keitner Comments for BBC, Lawfare on ICC Arrest Warrants

Professor  Chimène Keitner talked to BBC radio and blogged for Lawfare about the International Criminal Court issuing arrest warrants on Nov. 21 for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant and Hamas military chief Mohammed Deif on war crimes charged related to the Israel-Hamas war.

Listen to the BBC interview (it starts around the 10-minute mark), in which Keitner explains how the ICC’s Pre-Trial Chamber has responded to allegations the warrants are politically motivated.

In her Lawfare post, Keitner explains the basis on which the PTC based its decision to issue warrants.

Professor Keitner is a leading authority on international law and civil litigation, and served as the 27th Counselor on International Law in the U.S. Department of State.
