“The court in The Hague has no jurisdiction over ‘Palestine'”

by

German Foreign Minister Haiku Mas v. The Hague Tribunal: He has no jurisdiction over ‘Palestine’. In a tweet on Twitter, Haas, whose country is one of the main funders of the ICC, wrote that “our legal view of the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court regarding alleged crimes committed in Palestinian territories remains unchanged: the court has no jurisdiction due to the lack of a Palestinian state component. Required by international law. “

Haas adds that his country’s position on the Middle East peace process has also remained the same. “Since its inception, Germany has been one of the ICC’s strongest supporters. We support the establishment of a future Palestinian state as part of a two-state solution in the negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians.”

As you may recall, last Friday in The Hague they announced that they recognize “Palestine” as a state with rights in the tribunal, by a majority of two supporting judges versus an opposing judge.
