World News@lemmy.world•ICC's Karim Khan: Israel threatened my family for pursuing warrantsEnglish
0·2 days agoQuick guilty verdict? That’s not a presumption of innocence.
Just a quick verdict. Usually most of the time of the prosecutor is spent building the case, but here the abundance of evidence means he won’t have to.
Should some court in Europe have jurisdiction over the world? It’s it even a legal system when it’s motivated by politics?
The ICC (it’s this one that does the prosecution) bases its rulings on the basis of the UDHR. Since no UN member ever made opposition to it, and practically all nations are UN members, it has worldwide jurisdiction to remind the UN members of their obligations.
Also Netanyahu isn’t going to be arrested. The ICJ doesn’t have an army to enforce their decrees on parts of the world that don’t recognise their legitimacy.
Probably correct, but we never know. Nations that enforce international law, like Canada, could possibly make an arrest on behalf of the ICC. It may also just be the case the Israel itself may hand him over if he is ever impeached there.
Issuing these kinds of orders only hurt is legitimacy (don’t issue orders that won’t be followed!)
That’s an appeal to force type of argument. These orders should be issued based on whether they are legal or illegal, not whether they will be followed or enforced.

World News@lemmy.world•ICC's Karim Khan: Israel threatened my family for pursuing warrantsEnglish
0·3 days agoOf course. With the level of evidence the ICJ has against him, they can order an arrest; this should turn out to be a quick verdict.
You can be pro-capitalism in some form and still be on the left wing of politics.
Pro capitalist and socially progressive is just called liberal.
The problem here is that part of the left deny that liberals are on the left.
It doesn’t include attempts to move beyond capitalism.

0·3 days ago#believewomen was always just a self-serving argument promoted by Biden and co. for political gain.
What we should (and legally have) to believe is innocence until proven guilty.

World News@lemmy.world•Peru’s Keiko Fujimori wins presidential election, in latest victory for Latin American rightEnglish
0·4 days agoShe’s Peruvian-born, so she’s Peruvian. That’s how civic citizenship works in the Americas, at least for now. On another note, Japan never was fond of migration, but did encourage migration to south America and particularly Brazil for some reason.

0·6 days agoWhat if half the population decides you’re taking away their democracy, leading to brutal protests?
Yeah, no that won’t happen. But it will lead to other European countries, particularly the East, to question their ties to Germany if they do that.
