Baroness Deech (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 25 March 2025

Debate

Israel: Arms Exports

Contribution

My Lords, are the Government taking a bit of a pick-and-mix attitude to international law? In the case of Prime Minister Netanyahu, what about the law of sovereign immunity? He has immunity as a head of state, and it is a state that never signed up to the International Criminal Court. The Government need to be clear on what they consider to be international law and what is not, and not just pick and choose.
