Copenhagen/London, 25th November 2025 – The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians’ (ICJP) Global 195 Coalition partner in Denmark, Brøndgraversen Advokater, has lodged a complaint of criminal offences to Danish police concerning war crimes that are punishable under the Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC), and which are also punishable under provisions of English law and the Danish Criminal Code.
The complaint is aimed at persons responsible for the reported criminal offences and has identified some presumed key suspects.
War crimes detailed in the complaint include, among others, indiscriminate attacks against civilians, indiscriminate and intentional attacks against civilian objects and property, intentionally using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare in Gaza, and the intentional blocking of humanitarian aid.
The coalition calls on Danish police to arrest and detain key suspects, pursuant to Danish law and in compliance with Denmark’s international obligations under the ICC’s Rome Statute, and in accordance with Sections 118 b – 118 l of the Danish Criminal Code. It also calls for the relevant Danish authorities to launch a formal investigation into the war crimes detailed in the Coalition’s complaint.
Denmark has also acceded to the Genocide Convention in 1955 and must actively prosecute and punish acts of genocide under these international law obligations.
The complaint was drafted by Brøndgraversen Advokater, a member of ICJP’s Global 195 coalition. The complaint is based on over 130 eyewitness testimonies of war crimes perpetrated by Israel in Gaza. This material meets international criminal legal standards, and the coalition notified Danish police that they are willing to make evidence available to them for their consideration and use in legal proceedings.
