True. I never assumed that, though I see now why my phrasing could imply it. You're right - they're probably not stepping in that court. But even if they did, it would take years.
My other point - ICC can issue secret warrants, and no denial would be credible due to its very nature... This is poison to Gantz's political career and same for any active general who would want to join the current opposition following service. The current Israeli opposition is just not competitive without generals, and all they've left are certain people who are very... outspoken to put it mildly.
- arlort 2y ago> ICC can issue secret warrants Do you have a source for that? This doesn't make sense to me since it relies on more than a hundred different countries to enforce them, it'd be impossible to keep anything they do a secret
- yyyk 2y agoSearch for the Thomas Lubanga and Mr Jean-Pierre Bemba Gombo cases. The ICC can issue 'sealed' (secret) warrants and tell the countries very late in the process. Yeah, in practice any such warrant will eventually leak, but it's still a risk for anyone who might be on the other end which de facto creates limits to anyone who might fall under suspicion.
- arlort 2y agoInteresting, TIL, thanks
- csomar 2y ago> ICC can issue secret warrants, and no denial would be credible due to its very nature If that's the case then they are defacto banned from travelling. Still these secret warrants will be shared with the respective countries, right? So they should know?
