Why would they arrest the person US politicians love the most?
I know people like to pretend that every institution in the world is controlled by the US but this is certainly not true for the ICC.
That said, the US has maintained a very threatening posture towards the court so they might fear a reprisal even if they’re not directly controlled.
certainly not true for the ICC.
Indeed.
USA, China, RF, Israel for example, are not (signatory) members of the ICC. If anything, they are allergic towards it. Also the previous/current? Prosecutor ( Kahn , some diehard Lawyer), was even often threatened, which I found crazy. So there is alot of pressure on the Prosecutor’s Office.
Ed: must be Russian Federation ( RF)

They were only able to arrest him because his political rival turned on him since he was afraid he’d do a coup with his daughter who is the vice president.
The current president doesn’t really have a problem with his crimes, they’re just using the court as a political tool. Duerte should definitely be in jail though, so i guess justice is served, in a corrupt political fashion …
So I guess best we can hope for is for someone equally or more corrupt then netanyahu takes over and sends him to the ICC to eliminate his competition. Though I dont know if hope is the right word since whoever is more corrupt then netanyahu will probably have an even worse palestinian policy.
Fr netanyahu has to step down at least asap, he should’ve invited a palestinian to rule together in the area to set an example for peace before all the october drama happened… but he’s only power horny for himself and doesnt care about anyone else apparently, hope israelis protest him away
This isn’t a Netanyahu problem; it’s an Israel (and more generally Zionism) problem. Zionism is inherently a fascist ideology and genocide is the ultimate end of a fascist state left to roam free.
Agreed, though doesn’t mean Netanyahu shouldn’t be convicted of war crimes
Why not Putin?
What is it with an the deleted comments?
Duterte is a poor brown man compared to Netanyahu. Nobody cares about the Philippines politically or financially.
Duterte is a monster though. Every strongman dictator behind bars matters.
Not really true. It’s basically on the frontlines of oceanic territorial dispute with China, which means US interests as well.
Get Blinken, Miller, and Biden too, while you’re at it.
Trump too.
