The International Criminal Court (ICC) must investigate and prosecute “in an unbiased and even-handed manner”, Justice Minister Ronald Lamola told it on Wednesday, while suggesting that it should not engage with Israel and again ignoring evidence of war crimes by Hamas.
Lamola was speaking in New York at an assembly of the state parties that make up the ICC.
He called for “balanced and unbiased investigation of crimes” and warned that international law could only be credible if applied uniformly. The ICC should “protect its reputation of impartiality at all times”, Lamola said, and “must at all times guard its independence jealously”.
