Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Why even be in the ICC ir ICJ if you arent prepared to do what you agreed to If you'd arrest Putin, you arrest this shitbag. He's not guilty yet, the court will decided that but there's enough evidence for a warrant.

What a buch of asshats

I think Italy is baiting him. I mean what is Israel gonna do if Italy arrests him? Start a war with a NATO country?

That would be masterclass but I highly doubt it because it would be the USA showing up to shutdown the entire country just to release Netanyahu.

Not to mention Mossad has carried out sketchy and illegal operations in NATO countries without any consequences.

LOL, wut? Italy is dead serious about this. But then again it only shows what ICC is really about - persecute only those who are in country's interests and ignore the others

Edit: county->country

Oddly, this exact scenario is a major reason why they fail to issue some warrants. The biggest hurdle for any supranational organization is maintenance of its legitimacy, which takes a huge blow when members refuse to abide by its decisions. This leaves such organizations with very few options. The easiest and most common is to weigh the cost, in lost legitimacy, of not acting against the probability of member defection and only take an action if defection is unlikely or inaction would cost even more legitimacy. In that light issuing the arrest warrant in the first place arguably indicates that the ICC believes either that the legitimacy lost by not acting is greater than that lost to defection, or that labeling Netanyahu and his ilk war criminals is more important than any legitimacy lost in defection.
