Russia and Israel must answer for their crimes against humanity

AS far as I can tell, any government which is a party to the Rome Statute can refer a crime to the International Criminal Court in the Hague. The Rome Statute is the piece of international law that set up the Court.

In its preamble, the statute says that the Court is being established because the people of the world are “mindful that during this century millions of children, women and men have been victims of unimaginable atrocities that deeply shock the conscience of humanity” and also because the people of the world recognise “that such grave crimes threaten the peace, security and well-being of the world”.
