The unquestionable character of the International Criminal Court

 

The International Criminal Court, for several years now, has actually failed to bring advanced countries’ leaders to face the law for their crimes against humanity in the third world, especially in Africa

 

Established based on the Rome Statute and adopted in 1998, the International Criminal Court (ICC, in The Hague, the Netherlands) initially began its work on July 1, 2002.

 

As the first permanent international criminal court, some of the ICC’s tasks are to prosecute those responsible for genocide, war crimes against humanity, and crimes committed through military aggression.

 

For some time, the International Criminal Court has been under pressure and criticism for centering its effective activities and targeting war crimes in only African countries, thus; putting only African leaders behind bars, while they pretend not aware of the political and medical crimes, foreign countries, including Holland, The United States of America, Britain, Belgium, etc, have committed to Africa.

 

Certain crimes occurred during and after colonialism in Africa that the International Criminal Court should have addressed when it was established. After slavery, Africa suffered Apartheid in South Africa, while King Leopold’s reign of terror decimated the Congolese in the Belgian colony of Congo.

Following the history of Africa under colonialism until the time independence swept through the continent, apart from physical crimes, medical research also proved enough that Europe and America deliberately inflicted man-made diseases in Africa through vaccination or via the eradication of other diseases, such as polio.

In reality, Europe and America shouldn’t have escaped justice. It should have been the priority for African leaders to bring all those responsible for crimes in Africa to face justice on African soil. This was never done; instead, today there is the International Criminal Court in The Hague, rather puts African leaders who commit crimes against humanity behind bars.

American and European leaders have swept all the crimes they committed to Africa under the carpet and brought in African leaders they think have committed a crime against mankind to The Hague to be prosecuted.

 

The ineffective and partial service, promoted by the ICC, sparked unrest in Africa, leading to protests and the call of some African countries to quit the ICC.

 

On our rare health blog, ‘Secrets of HIV-Aids Journal‘ we have written numerous articles about the incompetence of the International Criminal Court and even suggested that it’s time for them to close down their offices.

 

It seems the International Criminal Court wants to impress the world and rebut the accusation of being corrupt, partial, and biased.

 

In 2017, the department’s prosecutor, Fatu Bensuda, asked the judges to issue permission to investigate war crimes that we, the CIA, and the Taliban in Afghanistan could have committed.

 

The International Criminal Court supported requests and decisions that have caused outrage in the United States. Just as we know that elites don’t go to jail, the aggressive and corrupt America, which never likes to be investigated, protested, and accused by the International Criminal Court of corruption and biased investigators.
