the international criminal court receives a wave of support all states hit with us sanctions. president donald trump is punishing the cold for investigations as well as the conduct in gaza. wills from actions international justice. this is inside story, the hello and welcome to the program. i'm not inside. the executive orders are still coming. second falls, the latest sanctions on the international criminal court. president donald trump says that the i c c abuses. it's paula taking quotes illegitimate and baseless actions against the united states on its ally as well. he also says it's investigates as a threat to national security. so how does this affect the army course with the ability to prosecute genocide and will crimes? and is the very concept of a rules based international order on the threats will try to answer these questions without panel of guests in a moment. but 1st, this report by michael apple. physically to drive with the stroke of his pin us president donald trump has imposed sanctions on the international criminal quotes in the hey, his executive order references what

sometimes approach to the international criminal court in good in the israel context suggest is real view towards international justice. and his approach that provides exceptionalism to his real, based on the fear that the court might take action against the united states as well. or some procedure defense in the future to kenneth, from a legal point of view, how punitive all these sanctions, how are they going to impact the operational capacity of the icpc when it comes to prosecuting high profile will crimes, particularly in context like syria and garza. well, there are 2 dimensions to the sanctions. what are travel restrictions? basically preventing people from visiting in the united states and the court can live without that. but the author, her financial functions, and those are much more serious because it looks as if the us government is going to say that no bank can do business with the court or it's personnel. and that could freeze the court. now there is an answer, don't you to the speaker can union, hasn't acted what's called the blocking statute. and it theoretically put,

and we have seen this conflicts going to the international tribunal international court on the law of the c v. i've seen as between nigeria and comment on regarding the bach costs the peninsula, which went to court. and ultimately it was resolved that the edition came out, which was partially against nigeria. unluckily during the administration or present or who still going to invest in jo the month that was settled in on. i'm a give away, so delete the addition of the boundaries is one of the issues that is problematic the of the country that as i, the similar problem is kenyatta. so my idea which i, by the dispute, which was taken to the international court and of course of funding was made against, can you? and that is a program that continues to buses today. the other one is as between the mazda and pick on the neighboring countries, and it is important to recognize, yeah, that although this is within the african continent funds, which to control the island of my unit as odd conflicts with the mozambique, it tries to hide conflicts with the my desktop on details. so i side conflic

and so my idea which i'm find the dispute, which was taken to the international court. and of course, the funding was made against, can you? and that is a problem that continues to buses today. the other one is on is between mazda and dix on the neighboring countries, and is important to recognize. yeah, that although this is within the african continent, friends which to control the island of my yacht as odd conflicts with the mozambique, if that's how it conflicts with the my desktop on details. the other side, conflicts with this, the shows and had conflicts also with what is just this tells you once again. that's another problem that africans confront. as regards controlling high seas is power was which still retained in press. in the african continent, we have seen not only in the india notion, but even in a couple of ed, which is in the atlantic question. we have seen claims that are made by european powers. and we have also seen problems in the mediterranean sea. so what does that tell us? what it tells us that in the face of these opportunities african countries

of justice and the international criminal court when it comes to allegations of crimes that israel's military and it's politicians are said to have committed. how concerned are you about the state of international law at the moment, given the fact that it seems to be countries around the world who are quite willing to simply ignore the rulings by international as establishment is like this look ident denied that international lawyers certainly being tested by the last 15 months, commencing a cost receipt from us, a tax on our type of $7.00. but on those are encouraged by the fact that we've seen the use of a range of international legal mechanisms. south africa's case in the international court against israel, which has been strongly supported by a number of other sites of saying the national criminal court, of course, conducting its investigation into the situation in gaza and the issuing of arrest warrants, including full benjamin netanyahu. and so we are actually seeing international, more working in that regard. and i guess one of the big thing things is how will the internationa

president trump signs an executive order sanctioning the international criminal court, accusing it of a dangerous abuse of power. he's also doubled down on his plan for a us "takeover" of gaza — despite criticism from world leaders. former harrods employees accuse mohamed al fayed's brother of sexually assaulting them while they were working for the department store. and anger and sadness among bereaved families as the government is expected to confirm the grenfell tower hello, i'm catherine byaruhanga. we begin in the united states where donald trump has denounced the international criminal court, accusing it of illegitimate and baseless actions against the us and israel — a move israel has praised. in an executive order sanctioning the court, he said it had abused its power by issuing arrest warrants for the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, and his former defence minister, yoav gallant. the court alleges that they committed war crimes and crimes against humanity in gaza. on thursday, mr netanyahu met top us lawmakers on capitol hill. neither israel nor the us is a member

international court of justice school who did already in january last year and then there was a plausible research um for and the rights protected for that. so if the policy that you guys are protected under the genocide convention, meaning you thought it would be nice if it was it'd be the genocide any does. he should not want twice, 3 times provision on measures that have no being complied with. of course, by eastern, but not just by useful because old member states including denmark of cleared responsibility toward international. this should suspend old ties, specially economic and media thought he dies with the service. so the question you should ask your governments, if you don't have not done yet is, well i, you doing to comply with the i c d, a bunch of opinion with the, with the i c. c, out of a storage, including by securing that are all my counties domestic mechanisms in place to investigate and prosecute anyone why you have to meet the cottons and you'll provide policy. net present and the filter by the policy and territory. and i'm a man, it's a regret, the bull that the fact

in late 2023 south africa lawrence the case that the international court of justice accusing israel of genocide and gaza. the court concluded that it was plausible that is, rose actions in gaza, could amount to genocide and trump use the case to accuse south africa of taking an aggressive position towards the us and its allies, ro, joel evans, out to 0 to inside story the. so let's bring in, i guess, since today they're all joining us from south africa in johannesburg as mock haywood national and global health specialist in stolen bush turn. the a g. well, a specialist on constitutional prophecy. little i didn't cape town, natalie for was a political analyst and formed a member of parliament for the amc on the president, nelson mandela. welcome to you, will melanie? let's start with you. is humanitarian aid being with an i isd by the trump administration? oh yes, clearly it is because, you know, we are a sovereign nation. we are a democratic nation and we have to ride shortly to determine some of our domestic conferences. but what makes us even more troubling is the fact that it's conc

i've the international court of justice. that was that optic on the political party, the economic freedom fighters believes that the us sanctions punishment for south africa support for the policy need people. the trump sites that south africa has taken an aggressive position against the united states and its allies. this is the real reason why the usa is pursuing any form of cutting of aid and is harming diplomatic relations with south africa. south africa is being punished for supporting palestinian people in condemning israel for its genocide. if you would say very, irrational. and it's very contradictory. uh we could, um, recently talk to donald trump, signed an executive order that prevents refugees from coming into the usa. however, now he sees it as an exception that he wants to say the sign and the executive order, which would allow the so called abuse treated white so that they can to come to us as usa as refugee. but as a date, yes, if we know that let them don't know chunky story. it is based on recent. she's rece

the south african band has been in place since the government filed charges for the international court of justice accusing israel of committing genocide in gaza. all right, let's cross it now to karl in the house to the south african m p from the economic freedom fighters a party. carl, thank you for joining us on the program today. the f f is making serious claims about western countries and the lack of data about end users of weapons from south africa. can you tell us more about the accusations and the significance if these actions indeed are true? good day and thank you for having me. ready and as you indicated in your introduction, they as being and i was involved for us to go from south africa to a past ideas rental. actually for even longer than what you said, not just seems so ethic escapes with the and in the international court of justice, but for many, many years. so ethic as opposed to being dining weapons to take the threat. but the concern that we have is that the national committee for the control of conventional homes, the c h. c. c, has not been in place for the past ye

at the international court of justice where his decision trumps or also directs the state department to help afrikaner has an ethnic group descended from european settlers through refugee programs. south african born 1000000000 advised that the trump little musk is also accusing the country of what he calls openly, racist, land ownership laws. the president several rum opposed to assess the facts on the ground. tell a different story. white south africans make up a little over 7 percent of the population, but they own 70 percent of all privately own farmland. so what's behind trump's move to go off to south africa? is humanitarian. they've been weaponized. we'll get to a guest in just a moment, but 1st, a report from joel evans and numerous friends have been covered before within hours of taking office president donald trump signed an executive order, freezing over an aide. for 90 days. his pen stroke turned the lives of 8500000 ag patients who are receiving treat from that us a id funded clinics in south africa. upside down, we are concerned about the potential impact of the decisio

this has been what the international court of justice has said. this is what south africa said in their appeal to the court. this has been the basis of saying that this is a genocide because of what israel has done the devastation it has rot across casa. and to now say that because there's a problem, because people can't really live like this as if it were a hurricane or a flood that had left this. it is, it's an astonishing thing to see. and the notion, i think so is very clearly being understood in israel as well as among israel. supporters here in the united states is that the truck administration has the back of the most extreme elements within is rarely society and the any hope of maintaining this ceasefire. is a very, very dicey proposition right now. i want to bring in your scene nickelback. now. yes, i am finished with just describing the, the amount of pressure that there are the amount of support that they've been. benjamin netanyahu coalition in the far right, members of the coalition that i possibly have from the united states, there se

c is the only international court with the power to prosecute individuals for genocide, crimes against humanity, crimes of aggression and war crimes. and either the us or israel, or members of the court, or recognize the i. c c's jurisdiction. and during his 1st term and office trump placed sanctions on icbc, prosecutors and officials accusing them of threatening to infringe upon us sovereignty. those sanctions were then lifted by his successor job i last year the i c. c issue to arrest warrants for is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu and former defense minister you'll have to launch accusing them of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in gaza. let's discuss this. we have so talk a hashi professor of human rights and peace studies at a sucka to the queen university. he specializes in international human rights, all joining us from a suck in japan. thank you for your time. do the sanctions impact the work of the court? is there anything that they kept that the court? it's prosecutors, it's judges pre trial judges can no longer do because of the sanctions as well. i
