(57,775 posts)If it is crime, there must be a legal basis. If the point is actual prosecution, there must be jurisdiction. What US law? Which international laws? How can international law apply if we aren't signatories to the ICC? How can prosecutions occur without a basis in law or jurisdiction?
You consider questions and discussion about how prosecutions should actually occur, and how we might actually WORK to bring that about, to be minimizing. Thus it is clear to me you are not even slightly interested in seeing anyone prosecuted. You want to emote, never bother to inform yourself even minimally about the laws or jurisdiction involved, and insult anyone who cares about the basis for actual prosecution more than optics as "minimizing."
The "technicalities' only matter is one actually cares about prosecuting war crimes. If the point is simply to complain and have your complaints validated, that is an easy goal to achieve. Just avoid conversing with anyone interested in knowledge, action, or reality. There are plenty around here who fit that description. I am not among them.
