'The best legal minds in the world' have worked on the ICC arrest warrants | LBC

- The International Criminal Court have applied for arrest warrants for three Hamas leaders as well as Benjamin Netanyahu and his defence minister. The ICC has said it is seeking the warrants on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The Chair of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee Alicia Kearns has told LBC’s Andrew Marr that ‘some of the best legal minds in the world’ have drawn up the ICC’s arrest warrant request against Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu, adding, ‘we cannot live in a world where we say that democratically elected or autocratic states have no one to which they are accountable.’
Speaking on Tonight with Andrew Marr on LBC, the Conservative MP for Rutland and Melton also told Andrew that she ‘would not go as far’ as the Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron in calling the request a mistake, telling LBC, ‘we cannot in one year say that the ICC is absolutely right and herald it as a great success of the independent legal system around the world and then say it’s not right.’

Double standard and hypocrisy is literally killing us,we are a laughingstóck
Well you are a 5 star ⭐️ banana 🍌 republic who th your political trials.
If I was Hamas, I would be really upset being compared to the IDF.
Maybe Britain considers itself a laughing stock, but here in America most certainly don’t. I support my country. So be it. 😊
That was actually the point of pursuing the case. U are really very predictable
@deficrypto1234 yeah no one wants to be compared with the nazis of the Infant Destruction Forces
Arrest Sunak, Braverman and Cameron, and Starmer as well
Starmer!? He doesn’t even have any power, what would you possibly arrest him for?
Starmer should be arrested for not being able to define what a “woman” is. On a serious note agree 💯 that he was against the ceasefire and wanted Israel to continue the war crimes
@phueal Starmer think that cutting off power, water and food to vulnerable children is fair game.
“Starmer thinking X” and “Starmer supporting Y” are not arrestable offences…
There’s a big difference between somebody holding political stances you dislike and somebody literally starving children to death.
@@s-b6218 Starmer doesn't have the power to actually act on that, he can't be arrested simply for expressing an opinion. If he becomes PM and then provides ongoing support for Israel's starvation tactics, THEN you could call for his arrest.
Side note, add Blair to the list in his place.
The double standards by the Americans and the UK government is embarrassing. Well done Spain, Ireland and Norway.
These countries supports the ICC decision?
bullsh1t
@@tuko5717 No. They will under no circumstance support ICC's decision against their allies. but against others, yes they support it unconditionally.
@@user-vj5ml8hy8mthey have already given support. They were already critical of Israeli actions to prevent aid getting in. Even David Cameron has criticised the Israelis stopping aid. But he has criticised the ICC which makes no sense. Just because Israel is a democracy does not mean it cannot commit crimes.
France have also come to their senses
There seems to be some sort of profound shock that the ICC is taking its remit seriously rather than behaving like western foreign policy unit that only goes after NATO adversaries.
Very well said…..
Well said.. 👏👏
The profound shock is only exhibited by the usual boys club of arms dealers and war-mongerers, like USA, UK, Germany, Israel etc.
Where was the ICC when Assad was using chemical weapons against his own people I will wait
Seems to be?! They're utterly bewildered that the ICC are holding the west accountable.
She is a conservative that actually has common decency.
Every interview I've seen her in she's very knowledgeable, sensible and switched on.
Trojan horse.
If the tories promoted more people like this lady to top government posts, then they would be doing better in the polls, instead they promote the likes of Truss, badenoch, braverman and Patel
Hamas were elected?
@@king_panda1387
Yes.
How about a warrant for Tony Blair, there were no weapons, how many lives were lost ?
Definitely a war criminal
@samali4340
Technically NO.
Going to war is not a war crime. War crimes are committed after the commencement of hostilities.
@@brianferguson7840 There is something called crime of agression though.
@@brianferguson7840It was an illegal war, and they killed over a million iraqis.
@@brianferguson7840 it was an illegal war, they didnt get the second UN resolution to make it legal.
Remember that Nelson Mandela was also labelled a terrorist anyone know by who?!
Tories in particular, Thatcher
And Churchill said that Jews were a "stronger, higher-grade, wiser race." compared to Palestinians. The UK supports who it wants to and does not like equality.
He was
South Africa, the same country that put him in prison for life because he was plotting to overthrow the State.
@@andypeutherer4218 Utter nonsense. Thatcher stated that the ANC,PLO and IRA were (quite correctly) terrorist organisations. She did not single out Mandela.
Sunak has already taken Israel's side unconditionally that's why he's so upset by this.
Considering what the European Jews went through in the second World War, I would think that Israel should bear that in mind when they see Children starving in Gazza..... dont you ?
I have yet to see starving children in gaza, they all seem to be better feed than I am, I have seen children alot worse off in Ukraine, but there's never any anti Russian marches. I wonder why that is, no ceasefire now nothing strange that.
They don’t see children in Gaza as children.
@@roberttaylor6075
When was the last time you visited Gaza, poppet?
Your looking at wrong media. IDF blatantly shown committing outrageous acts, PM of Israel himself calling for Amalak too. These are Zionists zealots.
It’s make me ask lots of questions about Second World War, a lot of has been hidden.
A conservative with a moral compass!
She still ignores 75 years of oppression and occupation.
Unlike all the Labour MPs who abstained re ceasefire. Blue Labour incoming...
Really refreshing to hear some common sense from a Tory. Well done gal👏
Really astounding, if it was true.
Blair and Cameron should face prosecution.
Not often I clap for a Tory MP, but well said.
Then you've fallen for her pathetic attempt at self rebranding and reputation rehabilitation.
@@brianferguson7840 Trust me I’m not gonna be wearing a blue rosette any time soon, the Tories need to get in the sea and stay there, but if we can’t even give kudos to the individuals on other side when they occasionally do the right thing then frankly we’re just being as pointlessly tribal as the Britain First mob.
@brianferguson7840 and you've been swallowed by the dreaded footballification
I like ex Tory Rory Stewart
@@pandora8478 I do too actually, I’m a dyed in the wool Labour voter but if I had to vote for a Tory for PM it would be him, he’s intelligent, compassionate and decent, I simply disagree with him for the most part on matters of economics. Sadly I think even if he was ever made leader of the conservative party, his swivel eyed back benchers would eat him alive for the very same characteristics I admire.
This is the most sense I've heard from a politician in a long time. Bravo!
Well done ICC, the tantrums from Israel and its enablers are pathetic
How rare it is to actually have a sensible Tory, I thought they had gone extinct
Thank you Alicia Kearns🙌🙏
Alicia Kearns may actually rescue the British Tory Party from utter redundancy.
Don't think so !!!😂😂😂😂
No.
A Tory is always a servant of the ruling class.
Farage and Lee Anderson will take over once the collapse is complete. At which point I'll be joining myself.
Sensible views are not popular amongst its daily Mail reading membership. Hence Lizz Truss.
Khan mentioned warning isreal several times over the past few months regarding their actions. Their days of impunity are over...bring on those arrest warrants....🇿🇦
Kahn is on the side of Hamas, the clue is in the name. So are you. So no holier than thou lectures.
@jimseltzer2002 loool no khan Is on the side of hamas.. that's why he has also mention 3 leaders of hamas.. what khan should have done is add the names of bn gvir and smotrich.. anyone criticising israel is accused of being on hamas side .. ridiculous
@@jimseltzer2002 Are you the only one allowed to do the 'holier than thou'? Where is your proof that Khan is on the side of Hamas? What has someone's name got to do with supporting Hamas? There are plenty of Jews who go by the name of 'Kahn'! 😆😆 My sister married a Kahn...
@@jimseltzer2002really, are you that kind of person?
@@jimseltzer2002"Khan is on the side of Hamas"...yeah that's why he was Israel's favourite candidate for ICC according to Israeli media in 2021.
Alicia Kearns for PM, the woman has a brain.
This lady is the most kind and caring to defenseless people in geza in uk politicians.
in other words she does think israel guilty and should be investigated but she can't say it out loud cuz it is a scary thing to say.
👏🏾
She seems to be logical and process oriented, so she wouldn't say they were guilty. That is a conclusion at the end of a trial. She would say there is evidence that they should be prosecuted, they are, and she agrees with them?
Fairness and integrity are not about left or right, it is about being a decent human. Alicia proves it
Do not hide behind democracy to COMMIT crimes.
She is way too sensible, level headed and empathetic to be a current conservative.
And of course the UK will always abide by international law won't we....
We usually just move the goalposts if something doesn't suit us, change the rules or quit the club.
Only in very limited and specific ways
Maybe we’ll start doing so if the ICC is issuing arrest warrants for Western-aligned leaders…
Hypocrisy of the Media and whole world supports Israel but except people who are fully human rights and the Law.
How refreshing, LBC interview Alicia Kearns an outstanding politician with morals and decency. Shame we have party politics and not individuals.
Oh yeah, read her voting record 😢😢😢
A far left ideologue out of touch with the majority of Tory voters 😂
Alicia Kearns speaking some common sense
She seems extremely sensible, why can’t we find more politicians like this in leadership positions
Yes, we can see Natanyahu's Genocidal crimes and yes, Arrest him..
Hamas is trying to hold him accountable and could use you as a new recruit. Or did you mean you want someone else to use force against him that you are unwilling to yourself?
Anyone who wants to go capture the leader of a free and sovereign nation and lock him in a cage is welcome to try. Who do you imagine is going to be doing this?
Andrew Marr did not defend Israel strongly enough here and I think he should be replaced by Vanessa Feltz immediately
I'm sure the LBC overlords are working on this as we speak. I hear Eylon Levy is available!
@@EMidMSO yes! Or Netanyahu from his jail cell
@@EMidMSO😂 Ye.He us unemployed since mars.😂
I like her fair and balanced!
The next Tory defector to Labour? She sounds way to centrist for Sunak's Tories.
Alicia Kearns is one of very few politicians who speaks intelligently and not in propaganda soundbites. I would like all our politicians to be able to speak intelligently, regardless of whether I agree with them or not. As it stands now I have zero respect for Starmer, Sunak, Gove, Braverman and that man who stands in for David Cameron in the House of Commons. We deserve better.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I agree it's refreshing to have an MP who follows her own convictions. Both sides of the HoP seem jam packed by people who just serve the needs of their political parties rather than their country and constituents.
@@edelgyn2699 yes, absolutely right!
However, the Palestinians and Hamas are occupied. How would you react under the ICC? 10/7 is aghast, but do you know the extent of 75 years of occupation?
This is the most balanced sane response I've heard...This woman is a treasure protect her
Brave words. I hope Israel doesn't steal your jobs
The only honest Tory I’ve seen in this whole saga. There is no recognisable party left outside Green sadly
Why is she not running for PM? She is a very fair and level headed person.
3:45 Still this interviewee doesn’t recognise the atrocities committed by Israel even before October 2023, and that Israel is the only one to blame for the rise of a resistance (i.e. Hamas) in the first place.
Hypocrisy at the highest level
The Double standard is very obvious, cant be hiding
Arrest the Devil 👹
Alicia Kearns spitting facts again. You can hate the Tories (I do) but I have so much respect for her as an MP even if we fundamentally disagree on so many things. Funny how the intelligent ones can see the difference but not the followers.
Wow she actually talks sense. Didn't think that was possible for a Tory
Alicia Kearns is an astonishingly independent voice within this whole conflict. Brava!
She does come over as knowledgeable, moral & articulate. Just can't get my head around that she's a Tory! I mean wtaf?
Whenever I see Andrew Marr I can't unremember the devastating lesson he was given way back by Noam Chomsky. All these years later, it's clear that he still doesn't understand what Chomsky meant, or that it was true.
Ironicaly the same "democratic country" she mentioned are the same country voilated many intrnational laws even before khamas came to power.
They all support the LAW....except when it is against your interest...!!! Ciao
Alicia I thank for the clear thinking. Y ou are the kind of leader the UK needs
It's important to note that the ICJ deals with organisations and the ICC with individuals, that is why Netanyahu can't hide behind being just part of a government in this.
If you pick and choose which ICC judgements you follow, it delegitimizes all of it.
ICC should be dissolved. Of no use.
Compare and contrast Alicia Kearns and Anthony Blinken. I think what you see is when the values of Judaism take precedence over the values of Zee on ism and give some hope to humanity. My respects to Alicia Kearns.
Please elevate Alicia to be the Tory Party leader, rather than the joke that is Cruela B!
I don't think it'll happen in the short term but when the Tory's finally realise they need to slip back to center/center-right after the incoming wipeout, if she's still a member, I can see her being put forward as a candidate then. People are waking up to the rehearsed soundbites ALL MP's repeat over and over (look at a recent Question Time where a Labour-voting audience member rinsed on a Labour MP for not answering a single question directly) and are sick of it. When that time comes they're going to need people like Alicia Kearns to "stabilise" and restore faith.
I only came to know this lady during this Israeli war on Gaza and I’m really impressed with the way she sees the conflict, how she answers and explains her positions. She Would make a great prime minister
Let them do their job. Investigate and follow the evidence to it's conclusion. Remember the old chestnut "if you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear"? never seemed more appropriate.
Palestine is in the ICC. It is member No. 123. It was approved on April 1, 2015.
Palestine isn't a country, it has no borders, no citizenship, no economy and a bunch of corrupt leaders that don't know how to run a government.
It's only unhelpful if it's unhelpful to you and your pocket
How on earth is there a claimed equivalence? The ICC are quite correct in how they've approached this. Denying that both Hamas and the Isreali government have committed terrible crimes.
Comparing Israel to Hamas is a Blood Libel. And not going after Nassrallah because he is Lebanese like Aman Clooney nor Khomeini is laughable.
She is absolutely right!
London and UK have problems with rising of criminal rate. It is more important than the problem of other countries far away.
Stop committing crimes then and hand yourself in to the law! 😉 We gotcha now boy. 👮🏽♀👮🏽♀😈😈👮🏽♂👮🏽♂
The Hague awaits 😊
What’s the moral difference between deliberately slaughtering civilians and deliberately slaughtering civilians?
Allicia Kearns is a Conservative?? But...she's talking sense! Something doesn't add up here.
The ability to think independently and not in easy sound bites
Rules based order. I make the rules and you follow my orders. 😅😂
Who pays for these ICC judges? Is there a international government or international laws made by any one to prosecute only leaders of the world. Just a waste of money being donated by those countries for those so called international judges.
I'm glad there finally is some international accountability coming. But let's also not stop here; there are top-ranking politicians in the US, the UK and across Europe who also have questions to answer over the wars they started in the early 2000s.
Well David, your boss mentioned that this warrents are unhelpful, meaning he would like them not to be issued, David seems to be a master in international law. So after this, he along with that prime minister of your need to be held accountable for supplying aid to people are carrying out war crimes. If not then release Charles Taylor. Thank you for stressing out that people should read first.
Let's not forget his name is Benzion Mileikowsky
This decision has nothing to do with facilitating negotiations, it is meant to bring justice to the perpetrators and as a result dissuade others states from the same type of behaviour. The next round of charges against those complicit will be interesting.
This is the problem. 2 law
The reason hamas was included in the arrest warrents is to allow Netanyahu to escape once the judges reject the warrents by disagreeing its prosecution
Thank you for providing some sensible commentary, MP Kearns.
Do ICC knows the reason why Iranian women were dancing on the death of Iranian president
Next time I'm caught committing crimes I think I'll say the rock solid evidence is.....controversial.
''I support Israel but I do not support the way in which they have prosecuted the war''. Meaningless words.
''I support Hamas, but I do not support the way in which they carried out the Oct 7th attacks''
No equivalence. One is occupier, the other one is resistance.
Never thought i'd say it, but i'm starting to warming to her. Well said Ms Kearns!
8 months in ... almost 40,000 dead not counting the people who were buried in the rubbles, thousands of injured, children dying due to malnutrition... and all we see 8 months into this is more talking!
Wasn't Hamas created by Israel though??
Yes correct
@@user-pr4uw1bp9u Nonsense. Blood libel.
So refreshing to hear a measured and clear sighted view of the situation from a British Government official. Andrew Mitchell/Rishi Sunak - look and learn!
We can only live in peace by speaking the truth without fear or else there will be no peace in this world
How a nation can do to another what was done to it, well it beggars belief.
A guest with arguments of fair note. ICC and. ICJ have made decisions that have drawn vastly contrasting reactions... 🤔
Was there any moment in the human history where arm resistance ever called arm resistance rather terrorists.
They aren't many Tory MPs who has integrity but Alicia Kearns ain't one of them. She's been incredible when it comes holding people or governments accountable.
Make this world a better place for the younger generation
There has never been a question of hostages. They had the chance but ignored it
The mistake that David Cameron is anywhere near government
“People have been very critical”.
Why isnt' Alicia the Foreign Secretary? Oh, the memoir....
The Incompetent Court of Criminal$…
This woman is perhaps the best a Tory can get. Respect for holding her own among such a toxic group of people, boasting likes of Braverman, Patil, Sunak, Cameron, Gove etc.
Hamas is in charge of supplies in Gazza, BBC need to do some fact checking. A lot of money and aid go into gazza and a lot of super rich leaders of hamas.
Bravo Maadam for speaking your mind and showing some sense of decency for HUMANITY .It is better to leave the Conservative and be an independent mind to speak the truth .
A conservative with a brain, that's very rare. Well done Mrs Kearns!!!!!
To be fair to those alleging bias in seeking a warrant for Netanyahu, the charges for Hamas members are far worse. It does show that the ICC recognises the degree of crimes and the quantity.
If netanyahu and gallant are so surprised at these charges, why dont they give themselves up to the icc so they can in court prove these accusations are completely false? 🤔
The US and UK's standing in the world dragged into the gutter for some strange attraction to an apartheid state. Beyond comprehension?
