The Trump regime is preparing sweeping sanctions against the International Criminal Court (ICC) in an attempt to destroy the world’s highest criminal court. The move is Donald Trump’s latest move to defend wanted Israeli war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu.
The sanctions would ban a majority of financial transactions with the court, isolating it from the US dollar and — if the global banking system capitulates as expected — from that too. Trump is expected to make a final decision during this week’s UN General Assembly gathering in New York City.
Trump has already abused US financial power to sanction the ICC president, judges and former chief prosecutor Karim Khan, as well as engineering Khan’s removal from his post, despite judges finding no evidence against him in sexual harassment allegations.
The US has previously said it would dismantle the ICC if it did not drop its charges against Netanyahu and other Israelis who have committed crimes against humanity.
is it just me that can’t unsee the vagina in his neck?
Attempting to dismantle the courtroom is not the choice an innocent person makes.
To be fair, I’d like to dismantle a lot of the classist, racist justice system that so many experience, but I’m guilty of being poor so maybe you’re on to something…
The ICC is a joke, I welcome dismantling it, it is a selective justice organization and lacks enforcement of its findings. Neither Israel nor the United States is a party to the Rome Statute, meaning the ICC holds no direct jurisdiction over them. The arrest warrant for Netanyahu was completely symbolic. ICC has and always intended to be a tool of neocolonial oppression in the hands of imperialists.

most of the countries in europe are party to the rome statute, so they are under its jurisdiction, but the way they’ve bent over backwards to find loopholes that guarantee that netanyahu won’t be arrested prove that the icc’s existence is meaningless.
If it was so powerless, why is the orange rapist so upset?
Because he is a toddler who cries about everything, even the court’s symbolic authority.
