International tribunals tend to be praised, in principle,
by those they avoid investigating. Once interest shifts to
those parties, such bodies become the subject of
accusations: bias, politicisation, crude arbitrariness. The
United States, whose legal and political personnel have
expended vast resources on the machinery of international
courts and jurisprudence, remains cold to the International
Criminal Court. The sceptics have tended to win out in
Washington, restraining any consent to its
jurisdiction.
The Trump administration made a point of
imposing sanctions on court staff, specifically
targeting chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda, whose entry visa
to the US was revoked. The moves were instigated in response

THE HAGUE (Reuters) – Judges at the International Criminal Court on Friday found the court has jurisdiction over war crimes committed in the Palestinian territories, paving the way for a possible criminal investigation, despite Israeli objections.
The decision prompted swift reactions from both Israel, which is not a member of the court and rejects its jurisdiction, and the Palestinian Authority, which welcomed the ruling. The United States objected to the decision.
The ICC Insists it Has Jurisdiction to Probe Israeli Crimes in The Palestinian Territories Published February 7th, 2021 - 07:35 GMT In this file photo taken on August 21, 2014 smoke trails mark the path of Palestinian missiles fired from the north-east of Gaza City. The International Criminal Court s ruling that it has jurisdiction over events in the Palestinian territories opens the way to an investigation of alleged war crimes committed in the 2014 Israeli-Palestinian conflict in Gaza. The 50-day war, which devastated the coastal enclave and left 2,251 dead on the Palestinian side, mostly civilians, and 74 on the Israeli side, mostly soldiers, has already been the subject of a five-year preliminary ICC probe and a string of critical reports.
