[Salon] 'You Have Been Warned': Republican Senators Threaten the ICC Prosecutor over Possible Israel Arrest Warrants



FM: John Whitbeck

The article at the link transmitted below reports on an extraordinary letter which 12 U.S. senators have sent to the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.

The full letter with signatures, in a size suitable for reading, is set forth at the end of this article.

This letter should be read to its very end and must be read to be believed.

Appropriately, as reported in this article, Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen has publicly said that "it is absolutely wrong to interfere in a judicial matter by threatening judicial officers, their family members and their employees with retribution. This thuggery is something befitting the mafia, not U.S. senators."

NOTE:  There is one technical error in this article. It states that the "Palestinian territories" were admitted as a member state of the ICC in 2015. Obviously, only states can be member states of the ICC, and it was the State of Palestine which was admitted as a member state, thereby conferring jurisdiction for the ICC over war crimes committed on the territory of the State of Palestine.
