    Don’t worry, the IDF will investigate themselves and (yet again) find no deliberate wrongdoing but maybe admit that ‘regrettable mistakes’ were made. This legal fig leaf is required so that an actually independent judiciary cannot enforce international law.

    Article 17 of the Rome Statute allows the ICC to step in and exercise jurisdiction where states are unable or unwilling genuinely to investigate or prosecute

    As long as there’s some form of judicial action by an Israeli court, the IDF can push everything under the rug and get away with what they please.

        It’s fighting an uphill battle.

        The US is doing everything it can to stonewall, and statements it made regarding it being dumbfounded that the ICC can also prosecute its allies, and that it’s not just a weapon to use against its enemies, reeks of colonialist hubris.
