Must suck to be subjected to extraterritorial jurisdiction from a body you have never acknowledged the authority of.
- anonymousiam 10mo agoYour comment can be interpreted in two ways: 1) It must suck for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant to be subject to a rogue French judge. 2) It must suck for the judge to face consequences from the US.
- 10000truths 10mo agoI think the ambiguity was deliberate.
- pxmpxm 10mo agoAnd very, very clever.
- shkkmo 10mo ago> 1) It must suck for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant to be subject to a rogue French judge. How is the french judge "rogue"? How is a ICC warrant "extra territorial"? It only calls for the arrest of the individual inside ICC member countries.
- arlort 10mo agoYes, but have you considered US politicians don't like the ICC? What's a bit of truth in the face of that
- arlort 10mo agoThe ICC in this case is investigating crimes committed in a party to the Rome treaty, that's not extraterritorial jurisdiction Even ignoring that one of these cases involves death and destruction and the other doesn't
- wang_li 10mo agoYeah. GDPR is annoying as fuck.
- einpoklum 10mo agoActually, Israel _was_ a party to the Rome Statute, and thus the ICC. It withdrew its signature in 2002, during the post-Oslo-process intensification of military action against the Palestinians. So, your analogy is flawed.
