#Canada was a founding member of #NATO in 1949.
#Canada is a signatory to the Rome Statute establishing the International Criminal Court, and recognizes its principles and importance.
The United States is not a signatory to the Rome Statute and has active sanctions against individuals working with the #ICC, targeting and threatening these individuals on a global basis.
Other countries that are not party to the Rome Statute and do not recognise the court's jurisdiction include Russia, China, and India. Iran signed but has not ratified, (the US has notified what it will not ratify), and Venezuela has withdrawn, notice given this past July 2026.

The vast majority of genocide survivors in the Gaza Strip are entering their fourth successive winter, forced to evade bombs, snipers, the threat of collapsing buildings, rat infestation, and the biting cold under flimsy tents that provide almost no protection from the elements. Nearly a year after the “ceasefire”…even the dilapidated tents that dot the enclave have not been replaced…increasing the risk of death, especially among infants, that has accompanied winter in the besieged enclave for the past three years.
“Hundreds of thousands of displaced persons remain in dilapidated tents that offer no adequate protection from the severe winter cold, rain, and wind…”Al Mezan Centre for Human Rights said
“This is compounded by continued restrictions on the entry of humanitarian assistance, fuel, and medical supplies…leaving civilians exposed to cold, hunger, and disease without adequate means of protection or an effective humanitarian response. https://substack.com/redirect/71fe898b-58a7-4981-9c14-04b386b41afd?j=eyJ1IjoiM2ljZmsifQ.OJxLQfvJs07D8kL_vZDXDsqrJaigvI4DC6xfKOnTo0U

CW: Sensitive content - history, war, genocide, starvation, graphic image
History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.
This is Lizzie van Zyl. In May 1901, aged seven, she died of starvation and typhoid in the British concentration camp hospital at Bloemfontein. The word "concentration camp" entered the world's vocabulary here, in the Anglo-Boer War.
Britain's scorched-earth campaign burned Boer farms and herded the women and children into tent camps, around 45 of them. Families of men still fighting were put on reduced rations, as punishment.
About 26 000 Boer civilians died, most of them children. In separate camps for Black South Africans, at least 14 000 more.The dead children became the founding wound of Afrikaner nationalism. In 1948, the generation raised on that grief voted the National Party into power and built apartheid.
The descendants of people locked in camps by an empire built one of history's most merciless systems of racial domination.
Rhyme the stanza again, a few decades later: Europe's Jews ghettoed, starved, worked, gassed. Six million murdered in the camps. The survivors swore "never again." The whole world swore it with them.
And today? Gaza.
Per the UN: at least 22 000 women and 16 000 girls killed between Oct 2023 and Dec 2025. Famine officially confirmed. Nearly the entire population displaced, most of them several times over. History doesn't repeat itself. It rhymes. And the meter is always women and children.Britain has never apologised. At the 1999 centenary the Queen offered only "sadness" no apology and no reparations was offered, ever.
Footnotes:
1. The ~26 000 figure is Boer/Afrikaner civilians, roughly a quarter of the Boer child population at the time, which is why it cut so deep into the national psyche.
2. Figures are sourced from the War Museum records and Wikipedia's documentation of the camps, the UN Women casualty report (April 2026), and the UN Commission of Inquiry findings. -
