Attacks Against the International Criminal Court: Who Cares About Victims of Atrocity Crimes? “…The assault against the ICC is part of the Trump administration’s comprehensive siege against the rule of law and international institutions.”

If we ever escape from the hell we're in, then one of the things we need to demand from our elected leaders is for the U.S. to become signatory to, and bound by, the International Criminal Court.
It would be reasonable for Europe to never trust us again, but this is a step we can take to regain some trust, and it would deter future U.S. government officials from flouting international law.
It is plainer than ever that the U.S. never deserved to be exceptional.

For those who are unaware: the U.S. government refuses to recognize the authority of the #ICC or the validity of any indictments handed down there against U.S. Citizens. Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_and_the_International_Criminal_Court. All the excuses U.S. elected leaders have given over the years for why the U.S. shouldn't join the ICC are bullshit. They all boil down to, "We're above the law," and fuck that noise.

It is obvious why Denmark is worried. Tech could be weaponised in the event of a threat to Greenland, just as Trump did with the International Criminal Court. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/how-sanctions-imposed-by-trump-are-taking-a-toll-on-the-international-criminal-court #ICC

“We played a key role in establishing the International Criminal Court…

Canada has a long history of defending the international rule of law. We are now dealing with a regime that will kill people in the water, seize ships on the high seas, invade other countries, and kidnap their leaders. All bets are off.

This is the age of gangsters. #Canada must be ready to rise to the threat. …

We must be ready for whatever comes next from the gangsters on our border.”
