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.
Dutch person here. BS story. Anonymous ‘sources’ should stop fabricating lies.
I mean, if I tell the world that back in the days the VOC colonized far-off planets with our flying-dutchmen space flotilla that no-one knows about, that would just about have the same amount of ‘truth’ to it.
Wow You trust a politician over a journalist. Amazing.
But also they asked the politician and the politician didn’t deny it. So you are the person lying here. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/dutch-foreign-minister-declines-rule-out-talks-curbing-icc-powers
