The Hague-based institution has no support from “the great powers,” according to George Szamuely from the Global Policy Institute
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has no legal standing whatsoever because it is not an agency of the United Nations and “the great powers” want nothing to do with it, a political expert has told RT.
In an interview on Thursday, George Szamuely, senior research fellow at the Global Policy Institute in Budapest, commented on Hungary’s decision to pull out of the ICC.
According to Szamuely, the court was created by Western powers at the peak of their hegemony in the 1990s “as a mechanism for them to order the rest of the world around.”
However, since nations like Russia, China, and India “chose not to sign on to the Rome Statute” – the ICC’s founding treaty – and the US later revoked its support, the court in effect “means absolutely nothing.”
