    If the arrest warrants are approved, do they actually have any power? Are there examples of such arrest warrants being executed for high ranking officials, especially heads of state?

      They have to go to a country that recognizes the Icc, so they’re welcome in america

      Nope. It all depends on whether it’s in the interests of those in power to carry out such arrest warrants. For instance, Germany will happily arrest any Hamas leaders they can, but will never arrest any Israeli war criminal no matter how many warrants are issued for their arrests.

    Fucked around and found out. I wonder if the EU would arrest Netanyahu?

    If you want to know how worthless this is, realize that Palestine is/was technically signatory to ICC enabling treaties, and they would therefore be obligated to arrest and hand over Sinwar which obviously isn’t going to happen.
