It feels to me like these measure are not up to the host country to negotiate? i.e. the ICC participatory countries would have to decide on this?
In any case, I haven’t seen this in Dutch news yet.
Trump is a pig, and I honestly hope he will stop soon. Stop with what? I can’t tell, it is illegal in my country.
It’s not like any Democratic US president ever recognized the ICJ. They put on a friendlier face, are less overtly confrontational but would never do anything much different in international politics.
Obama never faced the ICJ for his drone campaigns against civilians.
Ok, who else wants to host the court if the dutch chicken out? It is not owned by any country, but of course tramp/bibi/putain dont know that…
Belgium or France must fill the gap.
All of us others don’t have the heart.
But maybe, if the few corrupted dutch are singled out… there is still hope.
Is there no other option internationally? Vietnam or India should be stable enough and independent enough to host it. Even China could be possible if pressure from the US is the problem.
South Africa or Ireland, some of the only countries that seem to be willing to speak up for international justice. Though I guess smaller countries will be more sensitive to economic sanctions from globql superpowers.
You think India, the country of nationalistic mob attacks on minorities, is fit to house the international criminal court?
Right, that’s a problem. So Vietnam? Any other country?
A Communist one-party state hosting it would be somewhat polarising.
Maybe Switzerland could?
Random person from Switzerland here.
Sure, how much money is in it for us?
Other than South Africa, I’d probably go somewhere in Europe that’s relatively independent, like Spain or Sweden. Wouldn’t pick Norway because of their history of giving US presidents the Nobel peace prize while they’re literally slaughtering people. Wouldn’t go with Switzerland because of their shady finance sector. Wouldn’t go with the UK because they are an American lapdog.
Sweden’s quite right-wing, and Spain is likely to have a Vox-led neo-Falangist government after the next election.
It is not only the question if a country is far away enough from Usa. China or India, they have such a different view about what justice is. I think it wouldn’t do well.
They would not run the court, just host it.
There are conflicting political interests but how does the understanding of justice differ?
That’s absolutely horrible if true! ☹️
That’s it
Keep going, because once it all blows up these shitcunts go down with the rest of us
People with enough money or power will survive even the worst of political outcomes.
This just ragebaited Gaddafi into resurrecting, which ended up proving you right which then allowed him to peacefully pass away.
You birthed and killed Gaddafi. You monster.
People with enough money or power
It was not enough.
You birthed and killed Gaddafi. You monster.
Not too far off from an old Onion video.
Holy fuck. I feel like I can guarantee someone at the Heritage Foundation laughed at this video, looked over and saw Trump on their computer, and immediately said: “holy fuck i have a plan”
People with money and power have everything to lose when the system that helped them become rich and powerful fails. This is why billionaire doomsday bunkers are so dumb.
No, they won’t. Not once it fully breaks down.
This is what they don’t understand
Considering most of them are late boomers / gen X, they probably know they can survive for their lifetimes theoretically and logistically, which is probably true enough in most “safe” climate zones for the next 50ish years.
Their narcissism? Nearly completely prevents them from thinking about how quickly their mentals would go to shit.
