UK ponders law change after Tzipi Livni arrest warrant
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8415161.stm
The government is "urgently" looking into reforming the law after a UK
court issued an arrest warrant for former Israeli foreign minister
Tzipi Livni.
The warrant was granted by a London court at the request of
Palestinian plaintiffs, provoking Israeli anger.
It was revoked on Monday when it was found Ms Livni was not visiting
the UK.
Foreign Secretary David Miliband said Israel was a "close friend" of
the UK's and stressed he was keen to "avoid this sort of situation
arising again".
Pro-Palestinian campaigners have tried several times to have Israeli
officials arrested under the principle of universal jurisdiction,
which holds that some alleged crimes are so grave that they can be
tried anywhere, regardless of where the offences were committed.
Ms Livni was foreign minister during Israel's Gaza assault last
winter.
The Government is looking urgently at ways in which the UK system
might be changed in order to avoid this sort of situation arising
again
David Miliband, UK Foreign Secretary
She said the court had been "abused" by the Palestinian plaintiffs who
requested the warrant.
In a statement on Tuesday evening Mr Miliband said: "Israel is a
strategic partner and a close friend of the UK."
"We are determined to protect and develop these ties. Israeli leaders
- like leaders from other countries - must be able to visit and have a
proper dialogue with the British government.
"The procedure by which arrest warrants can be sought and issued
without any prior knowledge or advice by a prosecutor is an unusual
feature of the system in England and Wales.
"The Government is looking urgently at ways in which the UK system
might be changed in order to avoid this sort of situation arising
again."
UK ambassador rebuked
It was the first time a UK court had issued a warrant for the arrest
of a former Israeli minister.
"What needs to be put on trial here is the abuse of the British legal
system," Ms Livni told the BBC.
"This is not a suit against Tzipi Livni, this is not a lawsuit against
Israel. This is a lawsuit against any democracy that fights terror."
She stood by her decisions during the three-week Gaza offensive which
began in December last year, she said.
Israel's foreign ministry summoned the UK's ambassador to Israel to
deliver a rebuke over the warrant.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the situation was "an
absurdity".
"We will not accept a situation in which [former Israeli Prime
Minister] Ehud Olmert, [Defence Minister] Ehud Barak and Tzipi Livni
will be summoned to the defendants' chair," Mr Netanyahu said in a
statement.
"We will not agree to have Israel Defence Force soldiers, who defended
the citizens of Israel bravely and ethically against a cruel and
criminal enemy, be recognised as war criminals. We completely reject
this absurdity taking place in Britain," he said.
Israel denies claims by human rights groups and the UN investigator
Richard Goldstone that its forces committed war crimes during the
operation, which it said was aimed at ending Palestinian rocket fire
at its southern towns.
The Palestinian militant group Hamas has also been accused of
committing war crimes during the conflict.
Israel says it fully complies with international law, which it says it
interprets in line with other Western countries such as the US and UK.
PREVIOUS ATTEMPTS TO ARREST ISRAELI OFFICIALS
Oct 2009: Former military chief Moshe Yaalon cancelled a UK visit
because of fears of arrest for alleged war crimes.
Oct 2009: Filed attempt to raise warrant against Defence Minister Ehud
Barak. Court ruled he had diplomatic immunity.
Sept 2005: Arrest warrant issued for a former head of Israeli forces
in the Gaza Strip Gen Doron Almog. He received warning before
disembarking from an aircraft at Heathrow Airport, and flew back to
Israel
On Monday Ms Livni's office had denied the reports that a warrant had
been issued and that she had cancelled plans to visit the UK because
of fears of arrest.
It said a planned trip had been cancelled two weeks earlier because of
scheduling problems.
Palestinians and human rights groups say more than 1,400 people were
killed during Israel's Cast Lead operation between 27 December 2008
and 16 January 2009, more than half of them civilians.
Israel puts the number of deaths at 1,166 - fewer than 300 of them
civilians. Three Israeli civilians and 10 Israeli soldiers were also
killed.
