  • The problem here is: the UN was specifically designed to have no ability to enforce any laws. It was the only way to even create it in the first place. Otherwise you’d have the US and Russia do everything in their power to either not let the UN form or destroy it afterwards. Just like with the ICC.

    We need a new international body, something combining the UN, ICC, and more. But that will only be possible after the US Empire collapses. Russia is a problem too, but it’s too weak to realistically do anything on its own. At best it’ll slow things down.













  • The ICC seems irrelevant here. Its purpose is to prosecute members and employees of governments and militaries who commit serious crimes. Which it is doing, albeit with a focus on weaker countries.

    It has successfully issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and a few other Israeli government and military officials.

    They’re not really being ‘ignored’ as much as you may think they are. It’s mostly that the warrants are only legally binding in countries that signed the Rome treaty. Which Netanyahu and his goons know to avoid.

    That said, there were a few cases where a country decided not to act on such warrants, despite having full legal obligation to do so. It’s quite rare, especially in Europe, but it does sometimes happen.
