198 organisasjoner inklusiv Fagforbundet ber Den internasjonale straffedomstolen (ICC) om å etterforske Israel for forbrytelser mot det palestinske sivilsamfunnet
Den 23. november oppfordret 198 palestinske og internasjonale organisasjoner aktor Karim A. A. Khan KC og president for ICC-forsamlingen av statsparter Silvia Fernández de Gurmendi om å etterforske forbrytelser begått av Israel overfor det palestinske sivilsamfunnet, og hindre at nye overgrep skjer. Foranledningen er Israels årelange trakassering av det palestinsk sivilsamfunnet som eskalerte i fjor med terrorstemplingen av seks menneskerettighetsorganisasjoner, blant annet av Union of Agriculture Work Committees som Fagforbundet støtter gjennom samarbeidsavtalen med Norsk Folkehjelp.

Blant de øvrige norske organisasjonene er Forsvar folkeretten, ICJ-Norge, LO i Norge og Palestinakomiteen.
I brevet sendt til ICCs aktor, oppfordres Karim A. A. Khan KC, som en del av ICCs pågående etterforskning av Israel, om å:
- Offentlig fordømme Israels terrorstempling, samt oppfordre Israel til å omgjøre sin beslutning
- Bekrefte offentlig at de påståtte forbrytelsene begått under Israels uprovoserte militæroffensiv på Gazastripen i august 2022 blir inkludert i den pågående etterforskning av situasjonen i Palestina
- Fremskynde etterforskningen av situasjonen i Palestinas, for å inkludere forbrytelsene mot menneskeheten som apartheid og forfølgelse;
- Avgi preventive uttalelser for å hindre israelsk praksis som kan bidra til pågående forbrytelser mot menneskeheten og krigsforbrytelser, som innebærer at alle påståtte forbrytelser begått i Palestina, inkludert forfølgelse av palestinske organisasjoner som en umenneskelig handling av apartheidforbrytelsen mot menneskeheten, vil bli undersøkt av hans kontor og inkludert i den nåværende etterforskningen;
- I henhold til artikkel 9 i Roma-vedtektene, oppfordre Jordan og Palestina, som ICC-partner, og andre ikke-statlige partnere, inkludert Egypt, til å samarbeide med ICC for å tilrettelegge for åpningen av et landkontor i Palestina, og i arrangere et hastebesøk til Palestina, spesielt til Gaza; og
- iverksette passende tiltak, innenfor rammen av utøvelsen av ICCs mandat under Roma-vedtektene, for å forhindre og avskrekke utøvere av apartheid og israelske styrker fra å begå flere krigsforbrytelser og forbrytelser mot menneskeheten mot det palestinske folket.
I brevet til The Assembly of States Parties (ASP) ved ICC, oppfordres presidenten Silvia Fernández de Gurmendi til å:
- Sende et brev til israelske myndigheter for å fordømme deres angrep på palestinske sivilorganisasjoner og kreve at deres ulovlige betegnelser oppheves;
- Offentlig fordømme Israels terrorlisting og trusler mot palestinske sivilorganisasjoner og forsvare menneskerettighetsforkjempere og rettsorganisasjoner som samarbeider med ICC;
- Informer ASP-byrået og ICC-partene om truslene og sanksjonene mot palestinske sivilorganisasjoner og oppfordre dem til å uttrykke sin støtte og fordømme tiltak; og
- Implementere ASP-presidentskapets forslag til implementering av anbefaling 169 i den uavhengige ekspertgjennomgangen vedtatt av byrået 29. juli 2022.
