The idiots running the show here are of the impression that we need to be exempt from international judgement. Given the chance I'd volunteer to drive the van holding the lot of them to the court's door.

The Rights Forum has learnt this from diplomatic sources in New York, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Doesn't matter as long as it's just the yanks saying it

Hell no! You won't get relief from bullying from this. You will only earn more bullying and more warcrimes and crimes against humanity.

If you are EVER going to take a stand, this is where you draw the line.

Fuck these criminal assholes!

Excuse me?!

This strongly reeks like propaganda...

The Dutch government has no say about the ICC, it only hosts a location like an embassy.

I hope they have more backbone than that. The world needs a working ICC, and the only ones against it are those who know they are guilty.

So much for a social Netherlands. I'd call it asociaal Netherlands atp.

They don't want to play with the Law? too bad, Law may still want to play with em.

We needs that independent criminal record, more than ever. Maybe not to put some jails, but to pinpoint who doing bad, and show others to take own actions, sanctions, limits, own morality to their own hands.

Just an example, Greenland or Canada don't want to trade with murica? why? could something be up why not? hmmmm /s - /s as most of us knows well why many don't wants to do that without a question mark at the end.

Jfc they learnt nothing since WWII, you give Nazis a finger and they'll rip your whole arm off, spineless bitches!

Dutch government denies this I think.

This is absolute bullshit.

Plus, as of yesterday, we don't have a functioning government.

Jesus Christ, Netherlands.

how would that work? are the Netherlands sole keepers of the ICC? no other nations have any say in that or what?

by the way why would the institution need dismantling when it's clear they have absolutely no way to execute their functions over the people in power

Tom Berendsen (CDA) is the minister Buitenlandse Zaken

CDA is part of the EVP party in the European Parliament. Christian democrats / liberal conservatives are their political standing.

Fake news

This fucking sucks

Right…this ‘news’ looks highly questionable…

Even the Dutch parlement, however disfunctional they may be, would draw a clear line at dismanteling the ICC.

Besides the Netherlands might host the ICC, but it isn’t under the governance of the Netherlands.

I am skeptical, probably misleading. I'd wait for the report from some reputable news source.

The restrictions that would be under discussion include: a) granting immunity to heads of state; b) excluding the Court’s jurisdiction over nationals of non-state parties, even when they commit crimes on the territory of a state party; and c) denying the Court’s jurisdiction over cases covered by national legislation.

"Gimme a cheese with nothin" type court

Can Netherlands do that unilaterally? Sounds insane.

Fuck that!

We really need to sharpen some guillotines...
