ANADOLU, founded in 1920, said in a commentary that the International Criminal Court (ICC) has demonstrated its weakness by having only 11 convictions so far, and none of those convictions involved suspects from powerful countries, obviously referring to the United States and its allies.
“The weakness of the ICC was revealed in the withdrawal of Burundi in 2017 and the Philippines in 2019 from the court after investigations were launched against them, which showed that states can leave the ICC if they wish,” Anadolu said.
“The fact that only 11 convictions have been issued to date demonstrates how slow the ICC’s investigation and prosecution processes are and also shows that it avoids targeting officials from powerful states, leaving many crimes unpunished,” it added.
