The Netherlands is reportedly working with the US on proposals that could significantly weaken the powers of the International Criminal Court (ICC), according to anonymous sources cited by The Rights Forum.
The Dutch organisation reported that proposed restrictions under discussion include granting immunity to heads of state, ending the court’s jurisdiction over nationals of non-member states and limiting its jurisdiction in cases covered by national law.
Legal sources told The Rights Forum that the proposed changes would effectively dismantle the court’s ability to prosecute certain international crimes.
I’m from the Netherlands and haven’t read anything about that, it’s like to see a reputable source of this news. Because when they say ‘reportedly’ they didn’t link to the ones doing the reporting, which seems crucial.
Rights Forum was founded by Andreas van Agt, and holds very strong pro-Palestinian views.
Wtf?
