  • Quick 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.
