Good. As an American, I support this.
I do too, but don’t get too excited. At the rate the ICC works, it could take them years to hold trial.
The upside is that this could prompt Biden to mandate the State Department perform a reassessment. Leahy Law can’t be supported by outside intelligence unsubstantiated by the State Department. Once he has a conclusive report, it doesn’t matter what congressional legislation states.
If you mean us, we aren’t an ICC member.
I don’t see how that is relevant. It’s a problem that we’re not party to the ICC.
Let’s fucking goooo
I’m 90% sure that if Sanders was elected president in 2020, the US would have ratified the Rome Statute of the ICC.
It’s not going to happen and the Hague doesn’t actually want it to. Unless they want Navy SEALs knocking down their doors.
Look up the American Service-Members Protection Act if you don’t believe me.
Note: this is not a policy that I support, but it is official US policy.
Unless they want Navy SEALs knocking down their doors.
I can hear the chuds screaming “The ICJ is about to find out why we can’t afford health care!” from all the way on the other side of the Atlantic.
But Americans sending special forces into the center of Europe to canoe a couple of mid-level paper pushers at the UN over a sternly worded letter would maybe not be the most savvy foreign policy over the long term.

I couldn’t agree more!
We’re not members of the ICC
Neither is Israel
Good. Let’s issue warrants for all current and former presidents too as they’re all war criminals.
Yeah good luck with that
