- In an interview with FRANCE 24, former ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo reacted to the court's request for arrest warrants over the war in Gaza. The ICC has faced heavy criticism from Israel, the US, Germany and Canada since it announced it was seeking warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his Defence Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Moreno Ocampo called this reaction "disappointing". For him, attacking the ICC prosecutor's decision instead of focusing on the crimes is a "huge mistake".

When Europe created ICC they clearly meant it for African and Asian leaders not for Western leaders 😂😂.
Well Reality is about the evolution and constant adaptation=change✓
@@mariapadilla7501 Aka "im a racist but im also a proud vatnik so: NO YOU"
Correct, the court is an extension of western patriarchal imperialism
They were surprised when one of their one own was charged with crimes against humanity, clearly they didn't expect that ICC would actually go through with it🤡😂😂
Exactly, 'international law' was never for all. The hypocrisy of the West is clear.
Double standards on showcase shameful.
Israel has demolished gaza into a wasteland. Explain that?
Can someone please explain to me again why no European nation including the US wanted these people in their country before during and after WWII????? What did they know that we are now finding out???? 🤔
They are doing a great job.
Listening to the ICC makes a civilised person feel sick
Any news on the remaining hostages?
Yet, Hamas still has the hostages hidden in Gaza and still shooting rockets from there.
Bullying judiciary in itself a criminal mindset and condemnable.
The former prosecutor is correct in saying that attacking the prosecutor instead of focusing on the alleged crimes is a huge mistake, it's actually the worst mistake they could make, because it costs them their credibility. You flex your muscles when you have no arguments, I'm pretty sure they teach you that in debate classes.
My same thoughts excatly thank you.
It is because they know they'll lose (at the very least their faces) if they go to trial. Flexing their muscle is to show whether the court can be willing to risk the Bden sanction and withdrawing of financial support. It is not to declare their innocence, it is to declare their control of the politicians of the most powerful superpower.
Without visiting Israel or Palestine how can ICC come up with arrest warrant? It’s Qatari army
Internet shows all crimes unless your blind or deaf
Internet and tvs are transmitting what hamas want you to see, not the reality!!! You are so dumb!!!
This is really gonna make a huge change in the world democracy right now.
Nothing will change until the return
Yes liberal democracy is clearly a failed system alongside republicanism most of monarchies supported icc agaist israel and hamas
@@catrickthecat they always do. Censorship for no reason
Those that didn't sign up to the rome statute appear to be the biggest violators of the same.
Which is exactly the reason why they didn't sign in the first place. They knew that will limit their violations.
Tell that to Putin, he didn't signed... China neither... And many others...Putin is the master mind in all this.... He uses BRICS existance to destroy the West...Russia-Ukraine, hamas/Iran - Israel, China-Taiwan, South Africa, Brazil used to charge the western countries...
There you are, is not so difficult to see who is doing campaigns and taking actions against who...
The US and Israel are one of them
So timing is the issue? Not the crimes?
They are soooooo desperate
A court's job is only to prosecute crime.. not pass moral judgement. So the allegation of 'moral equivalence' is nonsense. Requesting an arrest warrant is simply a procedure necessary to prosecute crime.
It makes zero sense and was possibly the stupidest thing Biden ever said. Tackle it from literally any angle and you will dismantle that claim.
There was not 1 single mention of "equivalence" in the application. There was barely any mention of "moral". It was all about law and human rights. In fact it can be read as 2 totally separate applications.
This term "moral equivalence" was introduced by Netanyahu and the media has somehow parroted it into the current discourse. Right into Bibi's plans.
@@LaicheeKang-rk7sy Of course.
Why wasn't there an arrest warrant for the leaders of Hamas on October 10th?
@@juliarichter6987 The same reason there are no arrest warrant for Hagana after 1948 Nakba
Kudos to France and some other Europeans for supporting international law. No one is above the law. Meanwhile the US has lost all credibility with their reaction. Same for the UK and Germany.
France is no supporter of international law. Ask Africa their true nature
Maybe international law should get involve in saving children from legal rape in backward countries.
Maybe afd ruling germany doesnt sound that bad compared to current goverment of germany

If you rule against our adversaries it’s independent , justified and well made. But if you rule against our friend no no it’s unacceptable
Germany would not know anything about independence they been kissing so long
Are you talking of West Germany or of East Germany?
Reverse psychology not going to work
East Germany doesn't exist any more. It merged with West Germany over 30 years ago.
The naked double standards of US
Yes I'm from this USA land and I see our government is the problem and honestly I'm almost certain this is the reason for wars from way back in da gap. Back in so called time I mean. WW1 etc
Your mom?

Free the USA from AIPAC.
Free IsraHell from Bibi SatanYahu and the ZioNazis!
Yes
Aipac orders , the US puppies jump
It’s about time.
Long overdue
Rules are for the but not for me! Western European
france and Germany reduced to little players follwing orders
France says it supports the court.
Try again 🤦♂️
France will ICC arrest Netanyahu and putin on French soil
They are like puppies to the Zionists
Germany has actually stated that if the warrant were indeed issued and Netanyahu then turned up in Germany, they would arrest him and hand him over.
Old mate seemed a bit tired but had good points, thanks for an interesting interview! 👍
Well, Putin seems to love the criticism of the ICC. It's almost an endorsement of his actions.
Exactly
Putin still isn't accused of war crimes.
EXACTLY... I think as much as the West attacks the ICC, more international law gets fragile.
Dictatorships and Autocrats are loving this... Basically they will have an excuse to do the most horrific things now on.
Not comparable! Putin's opposioners found themselves poisoned to death or in jail, there is no real system law in Russia.
Israel has the most Independent judicial system, we are the only democracy in the ME.
Terrorists sitting in jail literally get 3 meals per day, an option to study and make degrees, lawyers and reunion meetings, so that's not even comprable!
#ArrestNetanyahu
First all the Islamic terrorists groups.
Arrest you too big mouth
Over dose ?
The world must show to netanyahu supporters ,that netanyahu and his defense are not better than those killed by Nato for crime
If anyone has contrary view of khan and Amal then he is paid. It is apparent that ICC prosecutors committed a mistake and perhaps were under pressure
You pay for lies but truth. Thus those that accuse Khan and Amal of being paid actually are the ones who got paid to lie.
It's not a mistake ...arrest them for war crimes ....
Discussion of facts and their relation to law is what counts. I believe this is what is contained in the ICC accusation. It is the Court, and not the prosecutor, which may then convict or absolve. That is how it should be. Let Israel show up and put forth a factual and legally based argument, and attend to consequence, including full exoneration/condemnation as warranted.
The news host was expecting that guest will speak in favor of Israel and talk against International Law 😂
Where was ICC during Vax mandates?
No one is above the law ....
If the international committee sees Hamas as a terrorist group, why not the world leaders help Israel gather international armies to fight or keep international peace in Gaza? And remove Hamas.
*_"the court is helping us to recover mental sanity"_* I agree, which is precisely what makes all of the criticism, at the very least, so very sad.
Thanks for that interview, very clear message.
ICC... A sad state of the world
2:46 He's absolutely right about the absurdity of saying that the prosecutor should have separated the arrest warrant requests. I said that the moment I heard this straw man argument from Israel and their defenders. Laughable stuff.
Much respect Luis...🇿🇦 The host was desperately trying to change the direction Luis was going 😂😂
Defund the ICC
Someone from Washington against icc as if that is new lol
Sovereign countries Vs e.u. lackies pffft
I support Luis on this. There is no need for the innocent to fear ….
That's what witch hunters used to say.
No one recognizes their authority
The ICC has become a joke!
they sanction them, cause it doesn't fall inline with their interests
You know you're on to the right track
When the criminals can only attack the court but cannot attack the actual evidence you know he is guilty.
Which evidence? I didn't see any provided by the prosecuter.
@@juliarichter6987 That's alright the court does see it
As does the rest of the world The IDF themselves were pumping out live video broadcasts for a long time gone showing it themselves they were very proud to slaughter the civilians.
For example when they were targeting people running to the UN food truck They broadcast it live as they were shooting them down with machine guns.
@@juliarichter6987 And then you have the stupid people who believe them when they say they were not targeting the civilians
But many of us know that they have the exact same technology we have
They can identify every single individual male female age height
So they know who they are targeting No one is killed there by mistake.
@@juliarichter6987 You can even find some of that video evidence here! on youtube
@@edas1315 I very much daubt it.
there's people with sense in the world. Drunk by power, and you started doing insanity.
What has the ICC done for Armenians in Nagarno Karabakh who had to flee their homes? Nothing! How come no charges were brought against Azerbaijan's President for the refugee crisis he created?
Just You understand, Israeli authorities at all levels issued an arrest warrant for Hamas after October 7th their capture and search is currently underway! Israel is independent of any International courts system !! Palestinia is underway the International courts system! So this under this case Hamas have both courts system arrest warrant! Have a nice day 😂
I'm almost sure most ppl in the comments have not read the title correctly or even watched the video... Comments are all over the place, filled with engrish, they don't even look like comments for this video. Y'all look like bots.
...lol😅 you're the only one reading and watching
Mistake? Like maybe the people should be supressed?
Smart man!!
Title is confusing. Former ICC prosecutor approves the warrant and defends the current prosecutor. Critics of prosecutor is a huge mistake, arrest bid is not a mistake (it is the opposite!).
The title is fine, I understood it immediately, without even watching the video.
Approves also means supports thus the title is correct.
How dangerous that he is saying it was a "mistake" where 45 civilians killed by burning alive! !! How it can be a mistake?
If I was the ICC Judge I would not fly either after all threats
Maybe a helicopter ride
Karim khan rocks. He should be man of the year 2024!

Ocampo.....eloquently with appropriated defined the seperate individual crimes committed and pushed the word salad aside.
How dare they criticise
Lock 🔐 Putin and Netanyahu up 😂😂😂😂😂!!!!!
So what is meaning of WAR?
Criticising arrest bid for Netanyahu a 'huge mistake', former ICC prosecutor says ?? I Really thought the man criticized the ICC bid, I have not heard a single word of critisizem. this really looks like to a bid of France 24 to create doubt among the public
Moreno never said that that the bid to arrest was a big mistake, but that the criticism of the prosecutor was a big mistake. DW always promoting misinformation!
Thank you, Luis Moreno Ocampo, for your integrity.
Ok for Putin not for Netanyahu 😅😅😅😅 ....
Thanks to the ICC chief prosecuter & interviewer. A saying in Ireland , "Never lose the head in the heat of the hunt".
Israel, Hamus 2 wrongs don't make a right.
I think this gentleman is in denial. Khan quite clearly did draw some sort of equivalence, he even suggested the warrants were being sought in relation to the same underlying principles. We all heard this, and can play back prosecutor Khan clearly stating it.
So the ICC boss is KARIM KHAN, I wonder
it’s quite refreshing to hear an intelligent non partisan take on what has become a huge he said ahead of said mess. the ICC is ok going after Russian President or African tin pot rulers… just shows how one sided this world really is. all we all want is peace - get on with our lives.
So if Netanyahu goes to a prosecutor and says investigate me.. that would have stopped ICJ!
Would the appointed Prosecutor look at the evidence first? I'm sure anyone, even those with no legal background would say yes!
But isn't that exactly what ICJ did not do?
Did not go to thoroughly verify the facts on the ground? He did not show up !
Imagine a prosecutor making a judgement without visiting a crime scene!
In the case of Gaza, start with the opinion that both sides could be lying.
Then thoroughly investigate and then only make a judgement.
You seem not to understand what's going on here. A warrant of arrest is not judgment!! It is issued to ensure that the accused is brought to trial. The evidence is produced during the trial where the accused gets the opportunity to defend himself and produce counter-evidence
As of now, the warrant has not yet been issued. The court has simply requested it. It's up to the judges to decide whether the warrant should be issued or not, based on the arguments presented by the prosecutor.
I can't follow this fellow's reasoning. Israel doesn't recognize the ICC, so there's no reason for Netanyahu to cooperate with it. Nothing will happen anyway, since politics will trump any legal concerns.
Very interesting perspective.
The best for him if he don't want to stay in jail very simple give the land of Palestine and recognize as a Palestinian state hood. Simple.
After Gaza and the blatant disregard for example to the UN, ICJ, ICC, UNHRC, UNICEF, UNRWA and UNSC the Western Countries demolished the "Rule Based Order" and "International Humanitarian Law." I hope Israel is worth that for them…
Icc n its verdict is like trying to arrest desert iguanas.
Was this Argentine not the same guy who could not prosecute George Bush and Tony Blair for what they did in Iraq?
I think the ICC could have first issued arrest request against HAMAS leaders just when the October 7 incident happened with proof.
Secondly the issue of Bibi and Defense minister request to arrest them now could have been justified properly.
But matter is.... ICC issuing the arrest request at the SAME TIME for both parties. Why wait this long for HAMAS ? I can not understand why did ICC wait for HAMAS?
Ocampo is exactly right
circus
He is an American. Who has no knOwledge of judgement.Shame on him.
The Philippines suffering so much from china as well civil war in Sudan but UN speak nothing !
Netanyahu and Putin 👊are now are close friends
who someone is angry that mean is guilty....
Push arrest warrant more on Pm Netanyahu because he's Jew. Why no warning to the billionaire hamad leaders to heed ICC rulings? Why no tracking down on Sinwar to face the music? This guest's keep blinking. Why? Lies? All paid?
Lock him up!
Look him up
This guy is a sellout..he does not deserve an interview. His take is biased
Obviously, there is no moral equivalence. Simultaneity is not equivalence, except for a very feeble mind.

Thanks man 🙏

And it’s not a mistake for Putin
Hell fire is the destiny of evils
Death toll of the people who starved to death in the Gaza? You know, EVIDENCE. Hint: So few the prosecutor could not use them because they reveal his charges are a sham.
