Arrests of Israeli war criminals

Anon-mouse | 04.03.2010 07:08

Haaretz newspaper reports that today Gordon Brown will present Parliament with a change in the law that will stop "arrest warrants for Israeli politicians and military-man being issued" - rough translation!

How did this get past us?

Because a million other papers say just this:

Brown to restrict war crimes prosecution for events abroad after warrants issued for Israelis -  http://www.courant.com/news/nation-world/sns-ap-eu-britain-universal-jurisdiction,0,4576521.story

UK to restrict prosecution for war crimes abroad -  http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2010/03/04/uk-restrict-prosecution-war-crimes-abroad.html

Britain in law change bid after Livni warrant -  http://www.middle-east-online.com/english/?id=37619

Britain in law change bid after Israel warrant row -  http://uk.news.yahoo.com/18/20100304/twl-britain-in-law-change-bid-after-isra-3cd7efd.html

So which is it?

They say the same thing. That it's not been decided what will happen, but that due to what happened with Livni they are thinking of making reforms. Nothing concrete one way or the other. No less troubling I'll grant you though.

Anything for Israel huh? Not surprising some people think they rule the world.
