25 Swiss lawyers charge federal councillor Ignazio Cassis for complicity in genocide in Gaza

Main points of criticism are:

• Ongoing military cooperation between Switzerland and Israel such as the arms company Elbit Systems

• Investment by the Swiss National Bank and UBS in companies profiting from the genocide in Gaza.

• Cuts to humanitarian funding for UNRWA.

• Refusal to impose economic sanctions as done by

Spain or Slovenia.

  3. They will lose easily, as there is no genocide. The IDF is fighting against Hamas, which uses civilians as hostages. There is no deliberate targeting against the ethnic group, so these 25 lawyers can go home, they already earned enough on this.

  4. Ouch. That’s quite the charge…

    I think it is more than time we stop hiding between this charade of « neutrality » to excuse low efforts and prevent any actual courageous actions

  5. I don’t understand.
    “25 Swiss lawyers charge federal councillor”
    how? and with what? source? because the article you link does not say that.
    so is it criticism or is it a charge?
    which of those are crimes under what law?

  7. Just yesterday a bunch of civilians where bombed in gaza and no mainstream media cared to report it

  8. Translation: some people wrote a letter to the ICC complaining about Cassis.

  9. They are taking an action to the ICC. Anyone can reach the ICC against anyone. Until the ICC decides to investigate the case it doesn’t move the needle one bit.

  11. *”The foreign minister should have taken all steps at his disposal to prevent such crimes from being committed by [foreign nation]…”* is **not a reasonable standard** of criminal liability in international law.
