Joining court would allow investigation of Xi Jinping if he were to order act of war against Taiwan
Taiwan’s government is considering joining the international criminal court, in part to increase deterrence of a Chinese attack or invasion.
Supporters also say it would help universalise the international legal system, which has a low presence in Asia, and increase Taiwan’s global participation at a time when Beijing works to keep it as isolated as possible.
The court was established by the Rome statute, which defined four core international crimes: genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and crimes of aggression. It has operated since 2002, prosecuting dozens of alleged war criminals. In March the ICC issued an arrest warrant for the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, over the forced deportation of children from Ukraine.
Yeah, would be better to have those countries be members. Still don’t you think it’s significant that all of Europe, South America and half of Africa are participants? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Criminal_Court
Meanwhile most of Southeast Asia and the Middle East are not. What, exactly, is your point?
Maybe read the article? It explicitly says why doing it in Asia would be beneficial.
He made his point clear. He asked you if you think the members that are included are significant. Clearly you don’t, but you could just say so instead of replying with a passive aggressive question.
