IDF Maj.-Gen. Doron Almog addressed the Universal Jurisdiction Conference in London on Nov. 26, hosted by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, the Global Law Forum and the Henry Jackson Society through a video link, since according to British law he could be arrested in Britain for alleged war crimes stemming from his efforts to fight Palestinian terrorists in Gaza.
The idea of universal jurisdiction was conceived to stop former leaders who engaged in genocide who have escaped the law. It should be directed at countries like Iran, where those who engage in mass murder are considered heroes, and not against the U.S., the UK and Israel, who are leading the war on terrorism.
