Overview

• Two civil-society organizations, ATE and H.I.J.O.S., lodged the complaint in Federal Criminal and Correctional Court No. 7, where it was assigned to Judge Sebastián Casanello and sent to Prosecutor Guillermo Marijuan.
• The filing accuses Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity in Gaza and cites a November 21, 2024 ICC decision naming him coauthor of intentional attacks on civilians.
• Plaintiffs request an arrest warrant under the aut dedere aut iudicare principle so that Netanyahu can be extradited to the ICC or prosecuted in Argentina if he is not surrendered.
• The complaint is timed to precede Netanyahu’s planned Argentina visit from September 7 to 10 and urges prompt judicial measures before his arrival.
• Supporting evidence includes reports of 184 Palestinian deaths and over 6,100 injuries and emphasizes Argentina’s obligations under the Rome Statute and Geneva Conventions.
