The International Criminal Court’s issuance of an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu marks the first instance of such action against a Western-backed leader, igniting significant political debate.
Despite historical principles established at the Nuremberg Trials, many Western nations contest the ICC's authority in prosecuting state leaders, claiming immunity undermines foreign policy.
The 2024 ICC warrant has exposed deep divides among Western powers, with the U.S., France, and Italy’s stance against the court threatening its credibility and viability for international justice.
The historical context of the ICC reveals an ongoing struggle for international accountability, as earlier precedents like the Nuremberg Trials laid the groundwork for holding individuals responsible for war crimes.
