U.S. Threatens ICC, Undermines International Legal Norms

In part two, Triestino Mariniello, Legal Representative of Gaza Victims at the International Criminal Court, discusses U.S. hypocrisy in accepting the ICC’s jurisdiction to issue arrest warrants for Russian President Vladimir Putin but not for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. Mariniello discusses how international legal instruments, such as the ICJ rulings on the risk of Israel committing genocide in Gaza, have been effective when not subject to U.S. intervention, unlike proceedings in the UN Security Council. Whatever is left of international law, he argues, is due to the perseverance of the Global South in pursuing justice for Palestinians.
