In September 2005, a British court ordered the arrest of Doron Almog, a
retired Israeli general and later a Kennedy School fellow, for war crimes
in
the Gaza Strip.  Almog evaded capture at Heathrow airport and fled to
Israel.

Under international law, suspected war criminals such as Almog should face
justice, wherever the alleged offenses were committed.  One of the lawyers
in the case, Daniel Machover, describes the efforts to bring Almog and
other
suspected war criminals to justice in national courts of third party
states.
