Heard this earlier today, and felt some hope the added pressure could make a difference.
I also learned today that Indonesia is bringing a separate ICJ case about the 75 years of illegal occupation, and president Herzog was informed at the WEF in Switzerland that their Attorney General is considering waiving diplomatic immunity due to criminal charges against him.
Though related to the ICC/ICJ cases, it’s technically because of an independent group within Switzerland bringing charges. (You could say they were emboldened by the UN cases though.)
The Keystone-SDA agency said the complaints come from a group called “Legal Action Against Crimes Against Humanity”. It says it hopes to open a criminal investigation in parallel with the proceedings before the International Court of Justice. “We are convinced that Switzerland has an obligation to conduct an investigation,” it said in a press release.

Maybe the (non-US or UK) world isn’t so far gone after all. Please let all these actually amount to something.
Damn, the UN actually doing accomplishing something? Never thought I’d see that in my lifetime.
