Dawn asks ICC to investigate Joe Biden for Gaza war crimes

24 February 2025 16:37 GMT

Democracy for the Arab World Now (Dawn) has asked the International Criminal Court to investigate former US President Joe Biden for possible complicity in war crimes and crimes against humanity related to Israel's war on Gaza. 

Dawn said on Monday it submitted a 172-page request to ICC prosecutor Karim Khan in January. This marks the first time a US-based group has asked the ICC to investigate a former president. The US is not a party to the ICC. 

The request also asks for an investigation into former US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin. 

The request said the former Biden administration's $17.9bn in military support, diplomatic backing, intelligence-sharing, and endorsement of Israel's war on Gaza were "deliberate and purposeful decisions" by the administration.
