‘SELECTIVE JUDGEMENT’ Sen. Imee Marcos joined the chorus of criticisms thrown at the ICC under the administration of her brother, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., as she called the tribunal a “caricature of international justice.” READ:
“The ICC’s long-standing failure to investigate Western nations for countless crimes against humanity makes the court a caricature of international justice,” Imee said in a statement.
According to a Reuters report, the invasion was meant to topple a dictator and usher in democracy but instead plunged war-scarred Iraq into “years of upheaval and chaos.”“Selective justice, anyone? This month marks the 20th year of the ICC’s failure to bring those responsible to account. The West’s oft-invoked cliché about upholding an ‘international rules-based order’ is apparently a sham,” Imee said.
Imee argued that the supposed diversion promotes the “false image” of Western nations as “unimpeachable protectors of human rights.”
