She says:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;If Mr Miliband succeeds in his aim to change the legal system, the UK will be in breach of its obligation under Article 146 of the Fourth Geneva Convention to search for and bring before the Courts anyone, regardless of their nationality, alleged to have committed, or to have ordered to be committed, grave breaches of the Convention. Moreover, victims of crimes against humanity, genocide and war crimes across the world will be denied redress in the UK which will become a haven for war criminals. If Israel is confident that war crimes were not committed during the attack on Gaza, it should allow a prosecution against Ms Livni to proceed in the UK&#8221;.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.middleeastmonitor.org.uk\/news\/europe\/375-human-rights-lawyer-speaks-out-on-arrest-warrant-for-the-leader-of-the-israeli-opposition-and-david-milibands-proposed-changes-to-the-law-of-universal-jurisdiction\">Read the release<\/a>]<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HUMAN RIGHTS LAWYER SPEAKS OUT ON ARREST WARRANT FOR THE LEADER OF THE ISRAELI OPPOSITION AND DAVID MILIBAND&#8217;S PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE LAW OF UNIVERSAL JURISDICTION FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Following the issue of an arrest warrant for Tzipi Livni, Israel&#8217;s &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/?p=12067\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12067","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pdXTf-38D","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12067","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12067"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12067\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12071,"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12067\/revisions\/12071"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12067"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12067"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12067"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
