It is extremely rare for a complaint to focus on an individual culprit.

“What makes the Toledano case so appropriate for the ICC is not just the crimes involved, but the opportunity for the court to show that international crimes cannot be ‘legalized’ through domestic legislation”
— Michael Schaeffer Omer-Man, Director of Research for Israel-Palestine at DAWN
(Washington, D.C., October 31, 2022) — The Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) should investigate senior Israeli military lawyer Eyal Toledano in the commission of war crimes and crimes against humanity, including the crime of apartheid, said Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN), in a submission filed with the Prosecutor today.
The war crimes and crimes against humanity documented in DAWN’s ICC submission, the result of a months-long investigation, took place between 2016 and 2020 in the occupied West Bank, placing them temporally and geographically within the scope of the existing ICC investigation into the Situation in Palestine.
“What makes the Toledano case so appropriate for the ICC is not just the crimes involved, but the opportunity for the court to show that international crimes cannot be ‘legalized’ through domestic legislation,” said Michael Schaeffer Omer-Man, Director of Research for Israel-Palestine at DAWN. “Bringing to justice someone like Toledano, an engineer of Israel’s apartheid, is the ICC’s raison d’etre and we believe the Prosecutor will see this evidence and reach the same conclusion.”
