You know, it’d be super based if somebody were to be like “You know what, don’t worry about it. it’s really not our concern.” and then when BiBi gets there be like “You know what, on second thought, we’re making it our concern.”
The bigger examples are the states like France that have supported arresting Putin but not Bibi, which completely delegitimizes the ICC.
“My genocide is preventing me from appropriately commemorating our genocide.”
Good. He should never be fucking welcome at Auschwitz. Netanyahu spits on their graves every day of his existence.
He, and Israel, are among the worst things to happen to Judaism in modern history. They represent everything wrong with humanity — the abused becoming the abuser, and continuing the cycle of terror, horror, suffering, and violence; all for the benefit of themselves, their own mental illnesses, greed, narcissism, and psychopathy.
World is getting smaller for war criminals. Good.
Practical question: who can actually arrest Netanyahu?
The UN weighs less than the air on a potato chips bag. If they emit an arrest order, who can legally apply it? If the answer is “all member parties”, does that also enable citizen arresting him by a citizen of a country member of the UN that recognizes civilian arrest? And if the answer is “all member parties”, is failure to arrest him not considered dereliction of duty?
Simple answer: the local police.
Complicated answer: Two local police officers but one is traveling on a bus going 45 km/h while one is going 4 km/h but accelerating at a rate of 1 km/h.
That’s absurd, 1km/h is not the correct unit for acceleration.
They are police they don’t need to obey the laws of physics
All state who are members of the ICC accords are legally obliged to execute arrest warrants if a suspected war criminal is stepping into their territory.
So if Netanyahu was to set foot onto Poland the Polish government would be obliged to make the Polish police arrest Netanyahu and then send him to The-Hague. Same would go for Putin, but i am not sure if the Polish government would manage to capture him alive if he was to set foot there.
So basically he’s still free to do whatever he wants so long as he stays within his country, which he would do anyway as his task as head of state.
So, exactly what has changed that is useful?
Him not being able to visit limits his ability to do diplomacy. It also does create some pressure for other countries head of states not to visit him. I understand that it is difficult to see the advantage as it is a slow and tedious process. But it is another nail in the coffin and the nails are becoming more and more.
The UN does not give orders or hand out punishment. It’s only a forum for discussion.
The ICC and ICJ are the ones who judge and put out these arrest orders. As for who does the arresting, that would be local law enforcement at the request of their own governments.
