Marc Weller, a professor of international law at Cambridge University, says the International Court of Justice does not have an army to enforce its indictments against Israel, unless the UN Security Council votes in support of the court’s judgements. He says the International Criminal Court indictments against Prime Minister Netanyahu have made it increasingly challenging for Israel to “manoeuvre” diplomatic relations.

International law is unenforceable.
The US aka isreal have no respect for the Law,
they’re marginalised all we can do is boycott.
USA 🇺🇸 SHOULD NOT VETO TO PROTECT WAR CRIMINALS.
Interpol. Keep press on. Israel people will arrest him.
They also lack legitimacy they cannot touch USA or Israel so 😂
Remove veto
This is crazy. Free Palestine! Stop genocide!
Sadly some people only cry out for justice when it will be used towards their own cause 😢 . ✌🏻🇵🇸
There is main aim is to fight islam.
A no fly zone is required over Palestine to stop the genocide and enforce the directives of the ICC. The Security Council should not be allowed to become a obstacle for the implementation of the judgments of ICC. Each country should have the right to decide for itself how to implement ICC decisions irrespective of the positions taken by SC members.
Well there is no genocide also just going to do nothing about the terrorist group hamas?
There is no Palestine. You mean Gaza. Israel is a state whether you acknowledge it or not.
Islam will fall.
Palestine
USA is going to look very bad in history…Especially ex President Bush and President Biden fighting AGAINST THE INTERNATIONAL LAW….Biden is a loser….Trump will win
Neither does the city you live in but if you are wanted, they will get you. Agree? Israel has pleaded not guildty for 76 years. Nobody believes them, never has and never will. It will happen.
USA is equally guilty of genocide with the Jews in Israel and the Jews in Europe and USA.
US veto power should be removed. No one country should have that much power at the UN.
It’s not just the US with a veto
@anapostigo7023 5 countries have that power, and it is not a fair system with it remaining in place.
@@AhJodiecry
Yeah, international law should be for everybody
No one should have have such powers… They must scratch this VETO thing
The U.S. does not stand on morals. It stands on money & profit. The defense lobbies & AIPAC provide politicians with both. Plus a complicit news media.
…in whole or in part by the Qatari government and HAMAS.
Is that what’s swirling around the Zionists discord and telegram these days? 😂
Look out ! Hamas is under your bed
Ahh this guy wants a global govt, the government of the antichrist.
UN needs to send a united force to stop Israel and stay there to protect them.
Israel is losing so hard 😂
No?
ICJ only caring about a country trying to defend its self, not a word about oct 7.
Oct 7 has passed. Nothing justifies what Israel is doing. (For those people who have a sense of ethics that is consistent and not conditional)
Yes we learnt that from game of thrones. How does kings landing not have an army but a few gold cloaks. He has to ask his lords for military support especially as dragons were gone. So when Tywin Lannister came to the mad king’s aid, he sacked the city and turned it over to Robert Baratheon. Why cause he is the one with the army not the king.
That’s when as a child growing up I was like but what can the world court and the United Nations do! Un got peace keeping forces and toys but not the stuff American and Russian and Wagner group got. So it’s down to the signatories to make the court be feared and its presence felt. Now said friends turns around and threaten that same court they put in place saying you are warned. That’s why I loved reading those books as a kid it teaches you about life. But never thought I would see the day that stuff like that play out in real life. Talking about these institutions were built for Africans and people like Putin.
The ICJ is the legal side of the UN, so dealing with and sponsored by ‘states’, so ONLY an extension of it’s international membership, critically it’s 5 veto members.
The ICC is a UN ‘mandate’ court, dealing with International ‘individuals’ so completely independent as a court, deemed as in a functioning legal system that no one is above the law.
The UN, like they did in Bosnia, could vote as a majority if no veto, to create enforcement of international law.
Indeed, it is the only route to enforcement of international law!
E.G Almost every country in the world has by now voted that both Isreal & Palestine should be recognised with full Human & Civil Rights within the UN….but the SINGLE & ONLY veto is from the US, preventing two states, but only Isreal!
That’s why there are must be international army.
I do believe that an army is needed to enforce the law
That’s why libertarian views fail
US can not dictate who must be sued and who not. US is not our Boss on Earth. Never will be.
The world will not accept the Rejection of the judgement !! You are just giving uour opinion!! The world believes in the power of the ICC . THOSE WHO THINK VETO HAS ANY POWER ARE NOT DEMOCRATIC!!
I hope you’re rght.. but out of curiosity, what is “the world” going to do about it? I’m all for it, justice should prevail, especially for war criminals, but how is it going to work?
Just go in and arrest that PoS Netanyahu.
Problem solved
Israel above the world wide laws do to the produce the laws all to protect them self always maybe? Very smart?
Israeli corruption is everywhere
Even if they don’t have an army or USA uses its veto. Now Israel is condemned for ever
Its all useless they have an army but with Us veto not a fly moves from its place
Correct
That issue came from God
How obscene and objectionable that Israel continues to lie so wildly about how law abiding it is given its maintains a 76 yr illegal violent military occupation.
Had it not taken land by force & occupied Palestine, illegaly expanded its territories & had instead remained within its lawful borders it would have been in a stronger position.
But it chose the path of criminal terrorism so its fate will be decided accordingly.
If ICJ has no army, but ICJ has all the people of the world to enforce its judgment and that will be “BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE. BY THE WORLD AND FOR THE WORLD”. PEACE ON EARTH FOR SURE😂😂😂
Free Palestinian
So all those international organizations have no value and USA can do whatever it wants.
Atleast The Veto Should Have An Limit Like CandyCrush Life limit (replenish once certain time) bruh 🕸
It’s technically a US veto, but Israel dictates what the US does at the UN
ICC and ICJ help the Court of peoples opinion
First blame 70 years of genocide instead of blaming Oct 7 only
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Read the whole statement from the ICJ! You might find some discrepancies in your rhetoric.
why is it not possible to invoke article 51 if vetoed from the US in the Security Council to move it to the General Assembly and get it invoked with a GA vote?
✊❤️🇵🇸🌹🕊️
So is the ICJ going to start accepting volunteer soldiers to enforce its authority?
I see they only stopping the peace in that land is US and their sibling .
The UN isnt an army they are peace keepers and theres no way that the west will let there soldiers go fight a war against isreal to protect a known terrorist organisation because someone thinks he has power over the Israeli goverment
The USA was unrevealed to everyone… how cunning it is
Knowing that America has been a supplier of genocide and the betrayal of the torture and Geneva conventions, the UN should delete the veto power by changing it to a democratic majority rule instead.
We (the US) should just pull out of NATO and the UN. We’ve been footing too much of the bill for too long.
Not NATO Boris.
It shouldn’t hsve an army even though it should make judgments . Perhaps sanctions in extreme circumstances like this on weapons. PERHAPS. They cannot be given military power but they still should pronounce judgements, that’s important
The ICJ is UN… if a party fails to adhere to an ICJ ruling, they should be booted out of the UN.
Might as well quit, if your authority carry’s no weight.. what a joke.
The moral and humanist civilized citizens of the world have finally woken up to the fact that since WW2, the axis of zionist colonialists genociders America & Europe were bent on continuing to hold their former Asian & African colonies by the neck.
free Palestine
Yes but the UNSC could ask fo volunteers to enforce the ruling and guess who would volunteer?
Using the army of the United nation if they have to.
All that matters is Hamas keeps attacking Israel and there is a war going on everything else is diplomatic BS no ceasefire destroy Hamas` ability to wage war
The ICC is nice idea in theory but its hopelessly politicized in practice. Look at Syria Sudan Yemen Somalia Iran Turkey Iraq Pakistan Libya where the court has done little or nothing despite the millions that have been slaughtered
dismatle Veto of U$ they are not relevent any more
The colonial project of Is Is no different to that of any other ethno state. This is genocide and USA should not be able to veto this because they are profiting from it all
The United Israel State of America.
Indian Army should help with the justice.
They HAVE an army willing to resist Israel.
We humans just haven’t been asked to help yet.
So kick the us out of the UN.
While he babbles, the gazan genocide continues
Why does the UN not have an army
I don’t think the ICJ will put out an order without world alliance support! It’s coming.
It seems that of all the judgments ever given by the courts, the judgment of the court in The Hague is the most absurd and unbelievable. Here comes a court, and accuses a state (Israel) of destroying residents (Gaza residents), all of whom are supporters of Hamas, whose stated goal is the destruction of a people (the people of Israel)!
On the other hand, all over the world, there are demonstrations of support specifically for Hamas, which is responsible not only for the murder of Israelis, but also for the murder of the residents, among whom it hides and from which it operates. Sometimes it seems as half the world supports the destruction of Israel and on the other hand, the other half comes and accuses her of destroying another nation.
Are you serious ? Army? What lots of rubbish !!
He looks possessed 😵
Where’s ICJ judges are when 200000 Yemen people dead, Syrian people been killed , r they nuts, is it ICJ and ICC are just for Islamist groups and anti western propaganda? Shame on you ICC
ISRAEL HAS THE RIGHT TO DEFEND THE,SELVES FROM THEMSELVES
Vetoes
ICJ have no power just words …this is so SAD
You are right sir
Questionable that uncle Sam’s assassins A.i.p.a.c guided the Worst carcinogenic contagion in terms of Human rights Violations has the power of veto
😢😮the Palestina people have a right to defend occupation but if ICC Court are arrest the resistance, then ishell Got the Green Light to Holocaust
No mention of Hamas not abiding by the court order to release all the hostages? Hmm.
So the whole world don’t have power to make a decision if one of these countries uses VETO POWER… They must remove these VETO POWERS because they now don’t know how work around it
The court is a joke.
As an American I understand that my government is the most corrupt in the world along with the UK. Total enablers of Israel’s genocide and ethnic cleansing.
The UN is a colonial tool
The institutional structure was built on deception so that one day they could take such advantages of it.
❤❤❤
Shame of us, of Jewish,
I don’t want you think Zionist is a sect of Jewish.
They aren’t us,
US is complicit and favouring GENOCIDE!!! Absolutely disgusting!!!
Justice will not be served in this lifetime. We will all meet our creator
Yes, ICJ needs an army, ICC needs to make US/UK/France/Germany ACCUMPLICES TOO.
US don’t approve ICJ’s ruling of arrest warrant on Netanyahu! So it’s null and void very simple!
So now the South African government got the verdict of their hard work! So don’t bother to do anything against the the will of USA! a very simple message! Also ICJ needs abolish as they turned blind eye on so many dictators who massacred civilians in their own countries!
If they were blk or brown there’d be one.
us is vile
Un..looks like a clown organization!! US has veto power??? This is a joke! The world and its systems are exposed to be a giant corrup crooked criminal joke!
Why does the USA get to run the entire world with Israel, France, and UK?
Pro genocide greedy politicians are traitors to their countries, taking money from ISRAELI war criminals ignoring the wishes of the people
“” These politicians and those in ISRAEL are war criminals “‘
🙄 duh
The ICJ should have shamed UNSC into action
Write the United Nations demand a peace force be sent
UN should change the laws. Majority decides not single veto. ASAP
Haha ! Most people who support Palestine often look mentally ill :))) ! Palestinians should stop gossiping and look at Ukraine, the ICJ cant do nothing with Putin bloodbath:)))
Basically it’s joke and no hope to arrest them
