‘Appalling’: ICC president says threats, sanctions put court in jeopardy


The very survival of the International Criminal Court is under threat. That’s the warning from the president.
Judge Tomoko Akane was speaking at the opening of the court’s annual general assembly.
She said the ICC is being threatened with what she described as draconian economic sanctions – as if it was “terrorist organisation.”

UN must issue arrest warrants to any individual who try to block arrest warrants for criminals

@JDshao

This is a mafia. It’s terrifying…

@asifhussein2166

Thank you, HABIBI ❤

@llama3856

The rest of the world needs to come together and combat these sanctions.

International Clown Court.

@izzy.i

United States of Israel is a Big Bully. They are actually the bad ones if you think about it.

@snoopybrown2438

Your kangaroo court is base on whose law? 😂 Every country has their own law and ICC is not the master of the universe yet! Please close shop and stop embarrassing yourselves any further. Many countries in Asia are not signatories of your bullshit self declared KKK vigilante. Benjamin Netanyahu can visit my country anytime and no one will bother him. ICC not welcome!😂

@rosieeinhorn5257

Get rid of the ICC

@emersonrosales2492

ICC is a laughing stock now. So why not prosecute dictators and their family?

@joomla.

They are chosen, remember? Chosen by Satan

@rahmanrahmani2896

ICC and ICG should pursue the course of justice regardless of the threats by global terrorist states like the USA and pariah state of Israel led by a fascist and apartheid government who are despised by the global community!

@geraldseymour5044

How can the public obey the law now

@outrospection4all

Israel is a bully

@oiulti6900

We need to save the ICC. It’s the only light in the current world.

@firdosRS

double standards of the west for not arresting Netanyahu!

@demohd4196

Where's arrest warrant for Bashir Assad?

@mustoper22

Arrest nethayahu , Gallan And his friends who agreed to commit the crime they must be in prison

@parvfars8420

Coward child killers are desperate. They have lost in every front.

@OGSAFUNKATEER1901

I stand behind the ICC decision. The American government no longer speaks for the American people and believe me when I say the majority of the American citizens are for the liberation of Palestine!

@basstrap3430

Interesting that the two world superpowers are both trying to topple the International Criminal Court undermine it and pervert the course of justice, a criminal act in itself. Criminals trying to dispense with the body tasked with arresting criminals.

@philThomspn

ICC powerless against superpowers period they will hurt themselves

@06howea1

Thank God that Judge Tomoko Akane does not have any connections with the Israeli state.

@slotenmakerdenhaag

Its not so much that the threats the ICC makes are 'existential' as that the West and especially the Dutch (the ICC is in The Hague, Netherlands) are in no hurry to honor their commitments to the ICC when it comes to prosecuting criminals they are allied to, financing, supporting militarilly etc. They would prefer to let Netanyahu make a laughing stock of Human Rights agreements than to be dragged into the case because of their support for the ongoing Genocide which is all too obvious from the way idiot politicians sought to portray the despicable racist Israeli football vandals as 'victims of a pogrom'.

@joemorgan2350

The veil is lifted.

@oronzy

BRICS.

Thank you ICC for your work, keep strong.

@Iammusprase384

BIDEN AND FAKE NAME NETANYAHU OCCUPIER CREW DONT LIKE WHEN THEY HAVE TO FACE JUSTICE

@kaioser

Icc wont exist much longer

@Joseph-n4h

If you don't like what United States do don't come to our country.

@Joseph-n4h

Cut the funds to the ICC and United nations. And let some one else fund them.

@AWalkOnDirt

There is no obligation, none, to uphold any decision by a court that’s not under the authority of the people.

@zozo327
