• The International Criminal Court (ICC) is under assault by the United States and Russia, among others, which are determined to undermine its mandate as the court of last resort.
  • ICC member countries need to stay firm in their defense of the court so that impartial justice remains a critical part of the rules-based international order.
  • ICC member countries should use their annual meeting to defend the court human rights groups, and others cooperating with it, and to enforce judicial findings against members who fail to arrest and surrender those sought by the court.

      What is the alternative?

      At least international law puts some small hurdles in criminals path and make historic judgments that is recorded.

      The alternative is clear path for criminals with no judgment.

        If international law can’t stop genocide it doesn’t exist, it’s a figleaf that is only seriously used against the empire’s enemies.

        The alternative would be world revolution. You can’t have international law coexist with imperialism. The empire must die.
