MALAYSIA can do more to quell Israeli atrocities in Gaza by becoming party to the Rome Statute, which will allow it to bring a case before the International Criminal Court (ICC), says prominent senior lawyer Andrew Khoo.

He says by becoming party to the statute, Malaysia can join any ongoing case under the ICC, which is filed under the Genocide Convention 1948.
