Israel Presents Their Case to The International Criminal Court
Long, but worth watching:
Meanwhile Breakthrough News gives their take on South Africa's report:
Also, it should be mentioned that back during the GW Bush Administration, a law known colloquially as "The Hague Invasion Act" was made (and the title pretty much fits the description:
The United States is not a member of the International Criminal Court (ICC). The Act authorizes the president of the United States to use "all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any U.S. or allied personnel being detained or imprisoned by, on behalf of, or at the request of the International Criminal Court". This authorization led to the act being colloquially nicknamed "The Hague Invasion Act", as the act allows the president to order U.S. military action, such as an invasion of the Netherlands, where The Hague is located, to protect American officials and military personnel from prosecution or rescue them from custody.[3][4]
The bill was introduced by U.S. Senator Jesse Helms (Republican from North Carolina) and U.S. Representative Tom DeLay (Republican from Texas),[5] as an amendment to the 2002 Supplemental Appropriations Act for Further Recovery From and Response to Terrorist Attacks on the United States (H.R. 4775).[6] The amendment (S.Amdt 3597) was passed 75–19 by the US Senate,[7] with 30 Democrats and 45 Republicans voting in support. The bill was signed into law by President George W. Bush on August 2, 2002.
