Abstract
This article examines the recent developments in the prosecution of international crimes
committed in the Palestinian Territory, focusing mainly on the role of the International
Criminal Court. The author analyses the Palestinian accession to the Rome Statute and the
declarations issued pursuant to Art. 12(3) in order to verify whether it is possible to bring
justice to Palestine through the prosecution of atrocities committed by both parties. The
article pays great attention to the most recent events, such as the Prosecutor’s report on the
Mavi Marmara incident and the subsequent decision of the Pre-Trial Chamber. Issues related
to the Palestinian statehood are taken in account in relation to the interplay between
international criminal justice and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
