International criminal justice, moreover, the entire system of international law is in an extremely vulnerable and unstable state. The inability to effectively prosecute criminals (especially from countries with economic and political power) undermines the possibility of punishment for international crimes, crimes against humanity Aghvan Poghosyan.
"Moreover, this situation is escalating over time due to the growing politicization of profiled bodies and the lack of unity among the major players. The decision of the International Criminal Court to detain Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Galant was a serious diplomatic blow to the Jewish state, which , as follows from the text of the decree, exceeded the limits of permissible self-defense.
Thus, Netanyahu and Galant are accused of "deliberately depriving the civilian population of basic necessities, food, water, medicine, fuel and electricity" in the Gaza Strip between October 8, 2023 and May 20, 2024, as well as "the work of humanitarian organizations." in hindering".
According to the latest data published by the United Nations referring to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, the number of victims of military operations in Gaza has already reached almost 44 thousand," says Poghosyan in a conversation with "Pasti" and adds that in Israel, however, these statistics are not available. acceptance, emphasizing the destroyed Hamas militants hiding among peaceful Palestinians or using them as human shields.
"It is more difficult to doubt that the number of internally displaced persons and refugees exceeds 1.9 million, or 90 percent of the entire population of the Gaza Strip. In Israel itself, the ICJ decision was predictably rejected, calling it "false and anti-Semitic" and accusing the Hague Tribunal " in diplomatic terrorism," says the political scientist.
According to Poghosyan, the international community has long understood who acts as the main driving force of the International Criminal Court. "Thus, Washington continues to support the ICC regarding the situation in Ukraine and immediately demands that the issue of issuing an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu be withdrawn from discussion.
On the one hand, the United States denies the legitimacy of the ICC, but when it comes to its own interests, it threatens the institution with sanctions is simple and consists in the destabilization of all countries except the United States itself, which should remain the only independent state in terms of international law.
The same goal is pursued by the widespread promotion of the so-called “rules-based world order.” The world has come to the point where states need a new international institution that will effectively monitor human rights and ensure justice for all in accordance with international law.
Since such an organization must act independently of the political interests of individual states and ensure equal conditions for all participants, this structure can only exist in a multipolar world, where there will be no dominance of one or more countries.
Only under conditions of equality and cooperation will the international community be able to create an effective mechanism for the protection of human rights at the global level.
