Sure there was gunfire, but the dramatic bit is "authorities had tried to arrest a senator wanted by the International Criminal Court...."
This is what we need in the U.S. after the fascists are out of the White House: Republican politicians getting arrested for crimes against humanity.

Prosecuting the fascists and the collaborators is at the top of my list too. It's the absolute minimum it'll take to get my support in all future Democratic primaries.
And I don't want to hear how we can't do it. We've got the ICC, we've got state courts, we can just create a new anti-fascist Nuremberg style tribunal if we have to.

And we can have that prosecution if we invite the International Criminal Court to take jurisdiction. No immunity, no statute of limitations, pardons don't count.

There's an extensive database of suspected perpetrators of human rights violations in #Iran - via the chain-of-command. If Iran ever ratifies the #RomeStatute (following the current uprising?), then some of these might qualify for trial in TheHague by the #InternationalCriminalCourt (though the ICC will try to go as high up the chain as it can, per the evidence + chance of a conviction for #CrimesAgainstHumanity ). RU + CN (+ US-under-Trump) would veto a UNSC referral.

Seems like Rubio is #PervertingTheCourseOfJustice [1] under Article 70 of the #RomeStatute [2].
More specifically, 70.1.(e) "Retaliating against an official of the Court on account of duties performed by that or another official;"
Could Rubio, as an official of a non-party-state to the Rome Statute, be under the ICC's jurisdiction for Article 70.1.(e)?

@DrJackBrown That can happen surprisingly fast.
The #ICC is investigating thousands of war crimes cases in Ukraine, even though Ukraine didn't sign the #RomeStatute, because Ukraine invited them in.
We could do the same here: dislodge the fascists and have the next President invite them in to investigate crimes against humanity.
And Trump pardons wouldn't apply.

Dead Letter with Teeth?
Article 61(8) of the Rome Statute (the “Statute”) allows the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to resubmit charges that the Pre-Trial Chamber (PTC) has refused to confirm, provided “additional evidence” is presented. Yet neither the Statute nor the ICC’s Rules of Procedure and Evidence define what qualifies as

Recently I got to talk to a #Democratic Party leader.
I used the moment to talk about how the #InternationalCriminalCourt can be invited to take jurisdiction within U.S. borders, to investigate and prosecute crimes against humanity. Ukraine, which like the U.S. did not sign the #RomeStatute (the treating creating the #ICC), has done this to allow the ICC to investigate Russian war crimes in Ukraine.
I let them know this is the minimum I expect from a 2028 Democratic presidential candidate.

Hind Rajab Foundation takes 24 Israeli soldiers to ICC over killing of six-year-old
"The attacks were carried out with full knowledge of the victims’ civilian and protected status, following prior coordination between the Palestinian Red Crescent and Israeli authorities," the foundation said in a statement.

@mhartle @petergleick @ArchaeoIain
The #InternationalCriminalCourt doesn't have jurisdiction inside the U.S. because the U.S. didn't sign the #RomeStatute.
But that's not the end of it. A non-signatory country can invite the #ICC to take jurisdiction within its borders, as Ukraine has done regarding Russian war crimes. That would also allow #Trump to be tried for #CrimesAgainstHumanity along with his collaborators, pardoned or not.

I guess under Article 8.2.(b).(ii) and 8.2.(b).(xxi) of the #RomeStatute ?
"(ii) Intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population as such or against individual civilians not taking direct part in hostilities;"
"(xxi) Committing outrages upon personal dignity, in particular humiliating and degrading treatment;"
Providing humanitarian aid to people subject to a famine is not "taking direct part in hostilities".

🧵 2/2: "Enforced #sterilization refers to forcibly sterilizing an #ethnic group as part of a systematic attack against that group, eliminating a person's ability to procreate. Widespread or systematic enforced #sterilisation is a #crimeagainsthumanity under the #RomeStatute of the #ICC" (Cornell #Law School)
After boys, anyone want to take bets #Israel will sterilise women on grounds of 'hygiene' once #Gaza is held in a #concentrationcamp in #Rafah?
