PIL flags job threat to private companies' ICC members
Friday, 6 December 2024 The Supreme Court is examining a PIL alleging retaliatory actions against Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) members in private companies who rule against senior management in sexual harassment cases. The petitioners argue that ICC members need protection and job security to ensure fair decisions without fear of reprisal, similar to the protections afforded to judges.
The UN’s top human rights official, Volker Türk, has strongly condemned U.S. sanctions on four ICC judges as “deeply corrosive” to international justice. These judges, who ruled on cases involving alleged war crimes by U.S. forces in Afghanistan and arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, now face sanctions from the Biden administration. Türk warned that targeting international judges for executing their duties endangers the rule of law. The EU has backed the ICC, vowing to counter these sanctions and defend the court’s independence from political pressure.

U.S. President Donald Trump has sanctioned four International Criminal Court (ICC) judges for pursuing war crimes investigations against American and Israeli troops over actions in Gaza and Afghanistan. Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the ICC’s actions as illegitimate and a threat to U.S. sovereignty. Netanyahu praised the move, calling the ICC charges political. The ICC, EU, and UN strongly opposed the sanctions, warning they undermine global justice and shield war criminals from accountability.

The 34th Arab League Summit in Baghdad is dominated by Gaza’s unfolding humanitarian catastrophe. Iraq’s PM labelled Israel’s actions “genocide,” pledging $40 million for Gaza and Lebanon’s reconstruction. The summit follows President Trump’s controversial Gaza remarks during his Middle East tour. Leaders including Mahmoud Abbas and UN chief Guterres demand an immediate ceasefire, aid access, and legal accountability. Spain announced plans to push the ICC to examine Israel’s compliance with aid delivery laws, intensifying diplomatic pressure. A unified Arab plan calls for Gaza’s rebuilding without displacing its 2.4 million residents.
