The warning was direct, blunt and left no room for doubt. “We expect all ICC actions against the United States and our ally Israel – that is, all investigations and all arrest warrants – to be terminated,” said Reed Rubinstein, legal adviser at the US State Department, before delegates of the 125 member states of the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Tuesday, July 8, at a meeting at United Nations headquarters in New York from July 7 to 9.
If the ICC arrest warrants for crimes against humanity and war crimes issued against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant on November 21, 2024, as well as ongoing investigations into crimes committed in the Gaza Strip and the settlement of Palestinian territory, are not dropped, “all options remain on the table,” he declared.
I think it’s time for the ICC to start issuing arrest warrants for US leaders, their backers and their repugnant little think tanks
Member countries would have to divest from the dollar first. We got everyone to use our currencies as a form of stabilizing politics and now we have a group of bad actors using that to their advantage.
BRICS is making headway with that.
The US empire is already in decline. What it’s allies need to work out is when to jump ship
BRICS has the downside of including Russia.
It might not seem that way, but Russia is actually the shittiest of USA’s minions. Its “independent” actions like war with Ukraine are no more independent in fact than those of Saudis.
It’s definitely aligned with the stinkier part of USA’s elites, but somehow had good enough relationship with all of them.
Maybe reforming UN as a candidate for some actual world confederation would be a better idea.
I’ll bite. This is a genuinely new take I haven’t seen before, despite 3 years of the war. Would you mind explaining how exactly Russia is an American minion?
3·6 days agoCan someone on lemmygrad post a reminder that many instances have defederated from you and can therefore not see your comments. I keep seeing you peeps replying to people that will never see your comments.
lemmy.world is one of them. Rottingleaf is not going to see your comment, it doesn’t show up on lemmy.world
I’m stupid. I completely forgot that the worlders have enforced an authoritarian tankie censorship regime 😔
Skill issue
EUR is honestly a better reserve currency, more stable already.
About divesting from dollars - I dunno how hard this is. Probably would be better for the US to provoke it to signal that time is nigh. Because otherwise this can only happen very slowly.
Please don’t. I don’t need americans invading my country.
warns
No; “threatens”. Get it right, news headline writers! It’s not a warning but a threat.
It’s like how most Canadians view America as a threat and not a warning (oh, wait. Maybe we do see it as a warning too, as we have our own soulless charlatan oilman scumbag politicians).
Threatens is when big bad Iran says something mean >:(
The way media across the world sane washes and softens Trump will never be something ill understand.
Personally, I think we should go fuck ourselves.
Obey your masters, know your place.
the most galling thing about this is that most will continue to insist that we’re still following the rules based world order.
The “rules for you not for me” world order is just in effect as usual
And they’d be right; the whole point of the phrase “rules based international order”, is that it invokes the good connotations of “international law”, while not actually meaning anything like international law, and instead just meaning brutal western hegemony.
i guess it’s just another example of people not bothering to look beneath the surface of a soundbite or slogan that sounds good.
are not dropped, “all options remain on the table,” he declared.
That being dicks offered to him
Or what?
"U.S. President George Bush today signed into law the American Servicemembers Protection Act of 2002, which is intended to intimidate countries that ratify the treaty for the International Criminal Court (ICC). The new law authorizes the use of military force to liberate any American or citizen of a U.S.-allied country being held by the court, which is located in The Hague. This provision, dubbed the “Hague invasion clause,” has caused a strong reaction from U.S. allies around the world, particularly in the Netherlands.
In addition, the law provides for the withdrawal of U.S. military assistance from countries ratifying the ICC treaty, and restricts U.S. participation in United Nations peacekeeping unless the United States obtains immunity from prosecution. At the same time, these provisions can be waived by the president on “national interest” grounds. "
