Bolsanaro, now Duterte, finally some good news!
The ICC has even less power than the UN. Nice idea – but totally unenforced.
well at least they have this guy in custody, maybe they can get some of the others they’ve charged and can’t force to stand trial.
There are some leaders around the world who deserve to be punished for their deeds but likely will get away from ICC because some signatories refuse to execute arrest warrant issued.
> The 80-year-old is accused of being criminally responsible for dozens of murders that allegedly took place as part of his so-called war on drugs, during which thousands of small-time drug dealers, users and others were killed without trial.
> The ICC’s charge sheet, which includes several redactions, dates from July but was only made public on Monday.
> ICC deputy prosecutor Mame Mandiaye Niang said Duterte was an „indirect co-perpetrator“ in the killings, which the court alleges were carried out by others, including police.
> He has offered no apologies for his brutal anti-drugs crackdown, which saw more than 6,000 people killed – although activists believe the real figure could run into the tens of thousands.
tl;dr
Seemingly great, whos next?
Gooood!
Does the ICC actually have power to do anything and imprison someone? Or is it just one of those courts „just in paper“. TIA
There’s going to be even more protests in the philippines, he’s still incredibly popular there and had an 80%+ approval rating by the end of his term
I’ll rest easier when we see some western 1st world leaders held accountsble also
