    A country should say that but then arrest him. Fuck him i hope he suffers for the tens of thousands he killed. I dont believe in the death penalty but this is more of a hitler case than a normal killer.

    On the other hand, that’s what I’d say as well if I wanted to have a chance of nabbing him.

    Not that I think that this is what’s going on here.

      The ICC is a joke and most nation states don’t want to see justice for war crimes meted out to government leaders. Most citizens practically don’t care. War crimes are for the most part permitted.

      I am not sure if it is “baked into the laws” specifically, but Italy signed and the parliament has ratified the contracts defining the ICC, its mandate and the member states obligations, so Italy is legally obliged to execute any ICC arrest warrant and hand over the suspect criminals to the ICC.

        And is enforcing those warrants up to the executive or up to the police+courts? Because with domestic laws it’s up to the latter right?

          The police is part of the executive. The courts are part of the judiciary. I dont know if national courts need to issue anything. Maybe they need to confirm the extradition to the Hague.

    There are historical ties between fascist Italy and Zionists.

    Archived link from the Israeli outlet Haaretz, 2019:

    When Jews Praised Mussolini and Supported Nazis: Meet Israel’s First Fascists

    Some worrying components of Hebrew fascism are still evident in Israel’s right wing, 80 years on

    Like many others in the mid-1920s, Itamar Ben-Avi, the son of Eliezer Ben Yehuda – the reviver of the Hebrew language and the editor of the newspaper Doar Hayom – expressed a liking and even admiration for Mussolini and his actions. Unlike other journalists at the time, he longed for a strong, assertive leader in the Yishuv, and found him in the person of Ze’ev Jabotinsky. Another such person – a novice commentator who began his political and journalistic career in socialist circles and at the newspaper of the left-wing Hapoel Hatza’ir organization, and who was by late 1920s writing a regular column for Doar Hayom, titled “From the Notebook of a Fascist” – was Abba Ahimeir. Together with an intellectual who was disappointed in socialist circles, a writer and poet named Uri Zvi Greenberg, and the physician and essayist Joshua Heschel Yevin, Ahimeir established a group of young people called Brit Habiryonim (The Zealots’ Alliance), whose aim was to get the country’s youth to see the light about nationalism.
