Netanyahu ja Gallant hakusessa – Oikeusjuttu vai poliittinen teatteri?

Benjamin Netanyahu - ICC - kansainvälinen politiikka - sodan rikokset - Yhdysvaltojen reaktiot - Yoav Gallant

Kansainvälinen rikostuomioistuin on ilmoittanut pidätysmääräyksistä Israelin johtoa kohtaan ja sekoittanut pakkaa – lue mitä tästä seuraa!

Kansainvälinen rikostuomioistuin (ICC) järisytti kansainvälisiä suhteita torstaina, kun se ilmoitti pidätysmääräyksistä Israelin pääministeri Benjamin Netanyahun ja entisen puolustusministerin Yoav Gallantin suhteen. Tuomaristo perusteli päätöksensä "kohtuullisilla perusteilla" siitä, että heillä on "rikollista vastuuta" epäillyissä sotarikoksissa ja muissa mahdollisissa rikoksissa. Tämä käänne tuo mukanaan kysymyksiä: onko tässä kyse oikeudenmukaisuudesta vai poliittisesta painostuksesta?

Reaktioita ei ole tarvinnut odottaa. Monet israelilaiset ja kansainväliset asiantuntijat ovat ilmaisseet huolensa ICC:n päätöksestä, ja vastareaktiot vaihtelevat hämmennyksestä raivoon. Toisaalta, jotkut näkevät sen merkkinä siitä, että kansainvälinen yhteisö suhtautuu yhä vakavasti sotarikoksiin. Tämän lisäksi, valtavat mielenosoitukset ovat jo alkamassa ympäri maailmaa, kun yksityishenkilöt ja järjestöt vaativat vastuuta.

Yksi kiinnostava näkökulma on se, kuinka ICC on onnistunut saamaan itselleen punnittua auktoriteettia erityisesti konfliktialueilla. Tämä ei kuitenkaan tapahdu ilman vastustusta ja kritiikkiä – monet valtiot, mukaan lukien Israel, ovat kyseenalaistaneet ICC:n toimivallan taistellessaan omista intresseistään. Millaisia lainalaisuuksia tämä herättää tulevaisuudessa?

Olennaista on myös muistaa, että ICC on ihmisoikeuksien vartija, ja sillä on rooli, jota se ei voi sivuuttaa. Seuraavat askeleet ja kansainväliset reaktiot tulevat olemaan ratkaisevia, jotta voidaan todeta, onko tämä vain ohimenevä tilanne vai uusi aika oikeudenmukaisuuden ja vastuun aikana.

Mitä ihmettä, miksi tämä rikostuomioistuin nyt nousee niin keskeiseen rooliin? ICC on perustettu jo vuonna 2002 rummittamaan kansainvälistä oikeutta ja määrittelemään, mitä sota- ja rikollinen toiminta oikein on. Onhan se merkittävää, että nyt puhutaan saamastaan valtansa koettelemuksesta! Voisiko ajatella, että erittäin voimakkaat poliitikot, joilla on historiaa konfliktien keskellä, joutuvat viimeinkin vastuuseen? Se jää nähtäväksi, mutta keskustelu on varmasti villiintymässä.
