ElBaradei Rejects US Court Dismantling
The United States' call to dismantle the International Criminal Court has sparked widespread criticism. Egyptian politician Mohamed ElBaradei described it as "a farce" and urged member states to counter the attack on the existence of the international judicial institution. The United States welcomed Venezuela’s withdrawal from the court, pointing to allegations that the court has exceeded its powers and is politically biased, and urged other countries to withdraw from the Rome Statute. ElBaradei responded via X (formerly Twitter), warning of an American and Israeli assault on the court, emphasizing the importance of accountability in the fight against crimes against humanity. This comes amid a rising US campaign against the court, including the imposition of sanctions and doubts about its legitimacy, along with escalating tensions with Israel following the issuance of arrest warrants for Israeli officials over war crimes in Gaza. The court was established in 1998 and specializes in prosecuting genocide and international crimes. It has dealt with sensitive international cases amidst ongoing controversy over its legitimacy and independence.
