Euros probably will, they actually believe their own press. 5 hours ago, Malcador said: A Russian drone getting knocked out of the sky ? I guess the same whining we have now and not much else Russia had a pilot get shot down and didn't nuke Turkey, after all. Turkey also got a plane shot down by Syria early on in the civil war and did SFA. Pretty demonstrably hit in Syrian airspace though since even the US said it was AAA used. More pertinently, the US has repeatedly shot down Syrian drones in Syria's airspace when they get too close to their occupation forces. 2 hours ago, BruceVC said: Countries that are not part of the ICC means you cannot charge people with ICC war crimes that were alleged to have occured within that country that includes Iraq which is not a signatory to the ICC and Afghanistan which needs to ratify its legal agreement.

Hint: it starts with 'U' and ends with 'kraine'. Well, they granted the ICC jurisdiction in 2014 https://www.icc-cpi.int/ukraine "Ukraine is not a State Party to the Rome Statute, but it has twice exercised its prerogatives to accept the Court's jurisdiction over alleged crimes under the Rome Statute occurring on its territory, pursuant to article 12(3) of the Statute. The first declaration lodged by the Government of Ukraine accepted ICC jurisdiction with respect to alleged crimes committed on Ukrainian territory from 21 November 2013 to 22 February 2014. The second declaration extended this time period on an open-ended basis to encompass ongoing alleged crimes committed throughout the territory of Ukraine from 20 February 2014 onwards."

Zoraptor Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Yes, Bruce isn't wrong about jurisdiction, he's wrong about ratification* being necessary. Of course Bruce and wrong is a bit of a tautology anyway... Indeed, Ukraine is in the exact same position as Afghanistan, which has an active investigation (well, last time I checked) despite not having ratified either. *And indeed indeed you don't actually require the location/ target country to be a member either. eg the ICC rather tepidly investigating the Brits for the Iraq invasion, since the UK is a member.
