Anyone sought by International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrants should surrender to the Hague-based court for a fair trial and face justice, said a key UN official one day after landmark arrest warrants were issued for Israel’s premier and former defence minister, Anadolu reports.

“I urge all individuals subject to ICC arrest warrants to surrender to the Court to face justice in a fair trial,” Ben Saul, the UN special rapporteur on human rights and counterterrorism, said on X.

“I urge all countries to cooperate with the Court to enforce arrest warrants,” he added.
