Emva kweenyanga ze ibango ukusuka World BEYOND War kunye nabanye, ulawulo lweBiden ekugqibeleni luye lwasusa isohlwayo esinyanzelwe nguTrump kwi-ICC, sichaza ukhetho lwendlela echuliweyo yokumisela ukungabi namthetho egameni lokugcina umthetho.

Unobhala welizwe u-Antony Blinken Ithi:

“Siyaqhubeka ukungavumelani kwaphela nezenzo ze-ICC ezinxulumene ne-Afghanistan kunye nePalestine. Sigcina inkcaso yethu ende kwiinzame zeNkundla zokunyanzelisa igunya kubasebenzi bamaqela angengawo awaseMelika anjengeMelika kunye no-Israyeli. Siyakholelwa, nangona kunjalo, ukuba inkxalabo zethu malunga nala matyala ingalungiswa ngcono ngokubonisana nabo bonke abachaphazelekayo kwinkqubo ye-ICC kunokuba kwenziwe isohlwayo.

"Inkxaso yethu kulawulo lomthetho, ukufikelela kubulungisa, kunye noxanduva lokuphendula ngezenzo zenkohlakalo zibalulekile kwimidla yezokhuseleko yase-US ekhuselweyo kwaye iphambili ngokuzibandakanya nehlabathi liphela ukuhlangabezana nemiceli mngeni yanamhlanje neyangomso."

Umntu usenokucinga ukuba umthetho ukhuselekile kwaye uhambele phambili ngokunyanzelisa umthetho, kodwa mhlawumbi "ukubandakanya" kunye "nokuhlangabezana nemiceli mngeni" kuvakala kulungile ngaphandle kokuphazamiseka kwentsingiselo.

UBlinken uyaqhubeka:

“Ukusukela kwiNuremberg neTokyo Tribunals emva kweMfazwe yesibini (II) yeHlabathi, ubunkokheli base-US babuthetha ukuba imbali ibhalise isigwebo esingenamkhethe esikhutshwe ziinkundla zamazwe ngamazwe ngokuchasene nabamangalelwa ngokusesikweni abasuka kwiiBalkan ukuya eCambodia, eRwanda nakwezinye iindawo. Siqhubeke nelo lifa ngokuxhasa uluhlu lweenkundla zamazwe ngamazwe, zengingqi, nezasekhaya, kunye neendlela zophando zamazwe e-Iraq, eSyria naseBurma, ukufezekisa isithembiso sobulungisa kumaxhoba obundlobongela. Siza kuqhubeka ukwenza njalo ngentsebenziswano. ”

Oku kuhlekisa. Akukabikho xanduva lokuphendula kwiimfazwe zase-US nase-NATO ("ulwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe"). Ukuchasa iNkundla yamaTyala oLwaphulo-mthetho lwaMazwe ngaMazwe kuchasene nentsebenziswano. Ekuphela kwento yokusebenzisana ngaphandle kokuhlala ngaphandle kwenkundla kwaye uyigxeka iya kuba kukusebenza kwezinye iindlela ukuyenza buthathaka. Ungakhathazeki; UBlinken uqukumbela:

“Siyakhuthazeka ukuba aMazwe aMelene kwiRome Statute athathela ingqalelo uluhlu olubanzi lweenguqulelo ukunceda iNkundla ukuba ibeke phambili izixhobo zayo kwaye iphumeze owona msebenzi wayo wokusebenza njengenkundla yamatyala okugqibela ukohlwaya kunye nokuthintela ulwaphulo mthetho. Sicinga ukuba olu tshintsho ngumzamo olungileyo. ”

Xa uTrump wakhupha i-oda yolawulo ngoJuni 2020 esenza isohlwayo, i-ICC yayiphanda ngezenzo zawo onke amaqela emfazweni e-Afghanistan kwaye inokuthi iphande ngezenzo zika-Israyeli ePalestine. Isohlwayo sigunyazisa isohlwayo sakhe nabani na obandakanyekayo okanye nangayiphi na indlela encedisa kwinkqubo yenkundla. Isebe likaRhulumente wase-US lathintela ii-visa zamagosa e-ICC kwaye ngo-Septemba ngo-2020 lagweba amagosa amabini enkundla, kubandakanya noMtshutshisi oyiNtloko, ukukhulula iiasethi zabo zase-US nokubathintela kwintengiselwano yezemali nabantu base-US, iibhanki kunye neenkampani. Isenzo sikaTrump sagwetywa ngaphezulu koorhulumente besizwe abangama-70, kubandakanya amanyeneyo asondeleyo eMelika, nangayo Human Rights Watch, ngu Umbutho wamazwe aphesheya wamagqwetha eDemokhrasi.

Umntu angathemba ukuba onke loo maziko anokuphinda athethe ngokuchasene neenzame eziqhubekayo zase-US zokunciphisa kunye nokuphelisa amaziko omthetho wamanye amazwe kunye neenzame zase-US zokomeleza nokwandisa iziko eliphambili lamazwe aphesheya kwezorhwebo, i-NATO.
