US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the Trump administration is working to “dismantle the [International Criminal Court] brick by brick”, throwing down a public gauntlet to the court that issued an arrest warrant in 2024 for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“Using all the tools at our government’s disposal, working beside every ally with whom we can make common cause, we will dismantle the ICC - brick by brick, if necessary,” he said.
Oh no, not the International Colonial Court. The whole reason ICC exists is cause the west didn’t have enough leverage over ICJ, and they decided to make their own kangaroo court to prosecute African leaders they didn’t like.
These are not 2 parallel courts. The ICC isn’t performing the ICJ’s duties under better control of “the west”.
The scope of the courts are different, each seems necessary to me.
ICJ settles disputes between CONSENTING parties.
ICC prosecutes crimes.
No wonder the Trump administration wants the ICC destroyed. They reasonably suspect they or their allies could appear before it one day.
I don’t recall Israel agreeing to a genocide case investigation by the ICJ
I doubt it’ll take that long. Rubio’s pushing on an open door. Nobody in Europe actually wants an ICC that can be used by the Third World as a weapon against the imperial core.
The ICC was dead the moment its leadership started taking Africans, Latin Americans, and East Asians seriously.
I struggle to understand why they’re bothering when they’ve already begun stacking the court w sympathetic judges and ousted Kahn.
I absolutely love this guy so much. He’s my favorite out of the wonderful cast of characters in this administration.
I hope that when all is said and done, he will live very peacefully in a nice house in the Californian country side with all of his family intact. I hope he will bear witness, personally, to all the wonderful things he has accomplished and that he reaps all the just rewards of his tireless commitment to making the world a really, really good place to live.
Let us all join hands and wish this man a very uneventful retirement
pedo mouthpiece says what
Go ahead, dismantle it.
I’m sure when this war is over, the winners will create something new that takes its place and it’ll absolutely favor you.
Narco Rubio can’t help but lie everytime he opens his disgusting mouth.
