What if we just invited the Kim family over? Brought them to some state dinners, and conferences, or some such?
They're not great people, the stick doesn't seem to be working.
What's the worst that'll happen?
- tomjen3 9y agoI doubt they would come. If they came we might not let them go.
- rwmj 9y agoI also doubt they'd come or be invited, but if they did, they would be protected by the Vienna Convention (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplomatic_immunity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplomatic_immunity http://legal.un.org/ilc/texts/instruments/english/conventions/9_1_1961.pdf http://legal.un.org/ilc/texts/instruments/english/convention...). The US could break that, but not without serious consequences for their own leaders and diplomats abroad. Could the ICC issue an arrest warrant? Yes (https://academic.oup.com/jicj/article-abstract/7/2/315/902208/Does-President-Al-Bashir-Enjoy-Immunity-from https://academic.oup.com/jicj/article-abstract/7/2/315/90220...) if only the US was a participant in the ICC.
