Article 70. Offences against the administration of Justice

1. The Court shall have jurisdiction over the following offences against its administration of justice when committed intentionally:

(e) Retaliating against an official of the court on account of duties performed by that or another official;

Can the ICC now please just put an arrest warrant out for Trump, Rubio, and anyone else involved in these sanctions.

I once read some stuff from someone sanctioned for other reasons. Accounts "frozen" no way to receive income. Deserved or not, that is the package. More interesting was that they also blocked his wife. They should receive some weekly living money but no one responds to his queries. It got even more interesting where they have 3 very young kids and aren't allowed to leave the country.

He denies doing what they accuse him off but argued it isn't even relevant. He argued that if he should be punished for something the punishment should be for him. Why take it out on an 1 year old?

My point being, how terrible do these icc sanctions turn out? Isn't that the story?

Also directly targeting foreigners who provide evidence to the court is also pretty clear evidence of american intention here. Hide their crimes. Several such human rights organizations were targeted independently of this for cooperation with ICC, like Al-Haq, Al-Mezan Center for Human Rights, and PCHR.

If Visa, Mastercard, Microsoft, or any other company wants to operate in other countries, punitively obeying insane US sanctions is untenable.

And for the "yeah, but then the US will retaliate" chimps: You have literally nothing left. Your lame duck halfwit and his administration of grifters, fraudsters and charlatans blew their load.

Recently, Marco Rubio gave a speech in front of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. Seeing this, I immediately thought "what an oximoron".

Rubio calls tribunal a 'rogue court'

Of course, from the perspective of a committed criminal, upholding the law is "going rogue".

"President Trump will never allow the International Criminal Court to prosecute Americans," Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement, first published by Reuters.

Can't think of a more flagrant and succinct declaration that the US believes itself "above the law."

"President Trump will never allow the International Criminal Court to prosecute Americans"

... but his government does support the ICC prosecuting Russians, on behalf of Ukraine, even though none of the two states is a party to the Rome statute / member of the court.

Twice. You did it twice.

What matters now is what the rest of the world will create to replace it.

How does the argument go? If they haven't done anything wrong, they have nothing to worry about. Heh.

Where are the ICC cases against Saudi? Syria? Yemen? Egypt? Most of Africa? North Korea? Haiti? Nicaragua? India? Iran?

It's a kangaroo court that gives retired judges jobs and powerless liberals the illusion they're doing something.
