Unfortunately as Im sure you know by now your government has promised to enforce the arrest warrants. As have the governments of The Netherlands and France. I believe Britain too. As for the Biden administration which means the Democrats you can tell even in Biden's weasley words that if Harris had been elected NOTHING would happen to the ICC. Trump had imposed sanctions on it which Biden immediately rescinded. So even though the US does not belong to it, the Democrats would and will do NOTHING about this outrageous except whine. I trust that under a Republican Congress and White House serious action will be taken. This not only includes sanctions against the ICC and its employees. It should include sanctions against any nations that carry out it's evil designs even if those countries are NATO members. And frankly the US should demand the entire thing be shut down and should use all its leverage to do it. Sanctions can be too easily lifted when the Democrats take over again as they inevitably will. Like Jackson did with the United States Bank, it should be the goal of the GOP to kill the ICC dead. And while we are at it major and total reform of the grotesque UN of which my country pays a full 24 percent of its funding, should be a major policy undertaking of the next Congress and administration. Enough is enough.
If I properly followed all the points that you made, the International Criminal Court has no jurisdiction over Israel, and even if they did, the facts do not support the laying of charges.
You've proved to me that the ICC has been corrupted. So now I want to understand what mechanisms do countries (like Canada, who have opted in) have to refuse to abide by a decision of the International Criminal Court? Can Canada still remain "in" if they take the stand of the equivalent of a Conscientious Objector?
How well said!
