Met Police Fearing “Shootout” Allowed War Crimes Suspect to Flee

An Independent Police Complaints Commission report into the failure of the Metropolitan Police to arrest war crimes suspect General Doron Almog revealed that the Metropolitan Police claimed that they failed to board an aircraft to issue an arrest warrant.

Stephen Kamlish QC led Paul Troop, instructed by Daniel Machover at Hickman and Rose Solicitors, in the original application for the arrest warrant.

It is believed that the arrest warrant for war crimes was the first successful application for such a warrant under the Geneva Conventions Act 1957.

District Judge Timothy Walkman at Bow Street Magistrates’ Court exercised universal jurisdiction to issue the warrant for the war crime of wanton destruction of property committed in Gaza.

The application was brought on behalf of Palestinian victims.
