DiIt is not surprising in the vicious attack of Wollywood Trump on the International Criminal Court. His last administration slapped sanctions in Afghanistan, including the United States, and Israeli forces, on investigations into possible war crimes in Afghanistan. But its new executive order goes even further, in which the basic principles of the court attack and endanger its work.
The United States never joined the ICC, fearing its actions and its allies. Which biden Damaged Both the court and the US claim to be affiliated with the “Rule International Order” when they justified Vladimir Putin’s arrest warrant by attacking Benjamin Netanyahu as a “provocative” issued as a “provocative”.
But for Mr Trump, this is not just about speeding. His hatred for the court talks about this president. After all, the law he believes is of the jungle. Naked transactions and repression replace diplomacy and unity. The biggest beasts are hungry and the rest should be flattened or escaped.
This can be seen again in the destruction of USAID. Very neglected for life is ill. As Gordon Brown has powerfully laid in the Guardian, the decision will be killed. It is also short and stupid. USAID has been a smart, low -cost foreign policy tool. Cost less than 1 % of the federal budget in 2023 fiscal year – and most of the amount Went back United States. Spending US foreign aid as a percentage of gross national income is much lower than the most developed economies. USAID helped stabilize countries, consist of diseases, and promote goodwill in places that will now look at other patrons.
Mr Trump’s “right” ideology can be seen more clearly in his careless and immoral calls to ethnicly, so that the United States can become the “owner” of a new Middle East “Raera”. This is the most disturbing factor of its unexpected and repeated suggestions for the US regional expansion, place of isolation. He has even announced his consent for the use of military force elsewhere.
No one expects the US military to march in Canada. His Gaza proposal is not understandable. At least some of his suggestions have definitely been used as a threat to seek privileges on other issues. Still a disturbing consistency in the theme shows that observers may need to take it Literally and seriouslyHowever, these ideas are the sound of these ideas. To prove it too harmful, they do not have to put them into practice at all. And whether the United States expands its borders or not, it seems every possibility that Mr Trump will approve Israel and Russia to connect to the ground, and to use force to re -build borders to others Will encourage.
In the past, some people have wondered how effective the ICC can be: the task of bringing war criminals to justice has been excellent, painful and often failed. Mr Trump’s attack is the importance of the court and is generally a crooked recognition of international law. It is worrying that influential voices appear within the British government Mourn over the rigor of international law As a hindrance to domestic priorities, instead of replacing it in a civilized world architecture. It is not enough to back down on Mr Trump’s excesses. UK and other people have right Disclosed His “Atal” support for the ICC. They should now defend it, and for the values ​​for which it stands, whatever it can.
