💬 The ICC’s whodunit
I love coincidences in geopolitics. They add interesting twists, just like in Agatha Christie’s books.
We will now trace back the chain of events that led to the politically motivated and legally void decision of the International Criminal Pseudo-Court in The Hague to issue arrest warrants for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Presidential Commissioner for Children’s Rights Maria Lvova-Belova.
This has to be a story by a British author. Apparently, an inexperienced one.
On February 21, 2023, judge of the International Criminal Court Antoine Kesia-Mbe Mindua (DR Congo) was replaced in the Pre-Trial Chamber with Sergio Gerardo Ugalde Godinez, a representative of Costa Rica and an Oxford alumnus eager to serve the West.
Subsequently, the English lobby gained advantage in the chamber. But they needed a personal touch to gain absolute control over ICC decisions.
That’s why, on the same day, February 21, ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan’s own brother and former member of the British parliament, Imran Khan, a convicted pedophile, was released from the British prison after serving less than half of his sentence.
The next step seems logical and predictable: on February 22, literally the next day, Prosecutor Karim Khan sent an application to the Pre-Trial Chamber requesting the arrest warrants to be approved. Apparently, Karim Khan himself did not trust London and waited for confirmation of the promise to release his pedophile brother from prison.
And yet, nothing happened. The chamber waited.
Then London organised a donors’ conference for the ICC and scheduled it for March 20, hinting to the ICC that results must be shown before this date if The Hague wants to see British donations.
Judges can be easily bought.
On March 17, four days after the conference was publicly announced and three days before it was held, the ICC issued arrest warrants for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Presidential Commissioner for Children’s Rights Maria Lvova-Belova.
ICC decisions are nothing but cheap plots acted out with British money.
Now it’s ICC judges who are on the wanted list.
