So he wants to liberate the ICC from US influence at a time where other countries are withdrawing support for the US dollar? Cool! Then they won’t be puppets to the American imperialist agenda anymore.
They’ll keep doing what they’ve always done. Nothing.
is it just me that can't unsee the vagina in his neck?
Attempting to dismantle the courtroom is not the choice an innocent person makes.
To be fair, I’d like to dismantle a lot of the classist, racist justice system that so many experience, but I’m guilty of being poor so maybe you’re on to something…
The ICC is a joke, I welcome dismantling it, it is a selective justice organization and lacks enforcement of its findings. Neither Israel nor the United States is a party to the Rome Statute, meaning the ICC holds no direct jurisdiction over them. The arrest warrant for Netanyahu was completely symbolic. ICC has and always intended to be a tool of neocolonial oppression in the hands of imperialists.
This take doesn't make much sense in light of the facts. Why issue a warrant against Netanyahu instead of capitulating to the Zionist narrative? Why create a legal quagmire in member states? Also, while it doesn't have "direct jurisdiction" over non-members, i.e., the member states themselves aren't bound to enforce its decisions, the member states do have obligations against members of non-member state who are indicted. That's the whole thing. Palestine is a signatory, so they can issue a warrant against Netanyahu for his crimes there. The move to dismantle a court obviously drags down the legitimacy of a state, as well, so why would they fight so hard against a purely symbolic decision.
Neither Israel nor the United States is a party to the Rome Statute, meaning the ICC holds no direct jurisdiction over them.
most of the countries in europe are party to the rome statute, so they are under its jurisdiction, but the way they've bent over backwards to find loopholes that guarantee that netanyahu won't be arrested prove that the icc's existence is meaningless.
Idk, it must mean something if the empire is throwing such a fit over even a symbolic gesture from them...
If it was so powerless, why is the orange rapist so upset?
Because he is a toddler who cries about everything, even the court's symbolic authority.
CHILD rapist.
Actually, Trump is a SERIAL child rapist.
But that wasn't just random children, that was a structured island by a billionaire literally for that purpose, so "serial child rapist" doesn't properly describe it. The praised rich haven't yet created a term for that because it's so outside of what has ever been punished.
I can't wait for the day when we turn him, Hegseth, and PeeWee Himmler Miller over to the ICC - after we're done with them.
the last time we tried to try fascists, we created things like operation paperclip to to protect them and we would be fools to assume that history won't repeat itself if we ever start trying anyone in the administration -- kissinger was a MUCH worse war criminal and nixon publicly admitted to pointlessly imprisoning and millions of americans for political gain and, yet, they both died rich and peacefully at home surrounded by people who loved him.
