Today we can breathe a sigh of temporary relief. Trump TACO'd over his threat to commit genocide on Iran (the threat itself is a potential war crime) and ordered a two-week pause in bombings for negotiations. Whether he was influenced by the public reminder that he would be carrying out what was considered a war crime by the International Court of Justice in The Hague is not known. However, he would have been at risk of joining some recent additions to the Hague legal actions: Both Netanyahu of Israel and Hamas leaders have been charged by the Hague for war crimes in the Gaza conflict, and warrants are out for their arrest. Both of the charged parties fear traveling to any country other than friendly ones, where they could be arrested and sent to the Hague for trial.
