    Unfortunately, the United States and Israel (ironically) have all but neutered The Hague….

      I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. The American Service-Members’ Protection Act, known informally as The Hague Invasion Act, is a United States federal law described as “a bill to protect United States military personnel and other elected and appointed officials of the United States government against criminal prosecution by an international criminal court to which the United States is not party”.

        Not an expert on the ICC but I don’t think they have any means of enforcement other than public pressure on the international stage, or another country arresting the war criminal and then handing them over….
