Lebanon is planning to file a lawsuit against Israel in the
International Criminal Court. Tuesday, Lebanese Minister of Justice
Charles Rizk made a written petition to the Lebanese Prime Minister,
Fouad Siniora, asking him to bring up the issue in the next meeting of
the Lebanese cabinet, so that the prime minister will be able to
collect witnesses in preparation before filing of the complaint.
The minister wrote to the prime minister: "The repeated Israeli attacks
on Lebanon, on its infrastructure, its citizens, women and children,
since July 12 are a grave breech of international law and international
agreements. As such, they clearly constitute war crimes and crimes
against humanity."
