France’s foreign ministry on Wednesday signalled that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu enjoys immunity from arrest, despite an International Criminal Court warrant issued against him for alleged war crimes.
Article 27
Irrelevance of official capacity
1.
This Statute shall apply equally to all persons without any distinction based on official capacity. In particular, official capacity as a Head of State or Government, a member of a Government or parliament, an elected representative or a government official shall in no case exempt a person from criminal responsibility under this Statute, nor shall it, in and of itself, constitute a ground for reduction of sentence.
2.
Immunities or special procedural rules which may attach to the official capacity of a person, whether under national or international law, shall not bar the Court from exercising its jurisdiction over such a person.Boo France, boo!
Bullshit
Oh so they won’t go after Putin now?
