The Ineffectiveness of the International Criminal Court: Expert's Striking Assessment

Professor Hassan Jouni, a lecturer at the Lebanese University's Faculty of Law and Political Sciences, International Law and Master's Programs, evaluated the activities of the International Criminal Court (ICC).

International justice is at risk today: The court is deliberately applying double standards, discriminating between states, leaving many crimes committed in various countries uninvestigated, and furthermore, neglecting to review many cases of crimes against humanity

Jouni stated that the ICC is applying double standards, discriminating between states, and leaving many crimes committed in various countries uninvestigated. He also emphasized that the court is neglecting to review many cases of crimes against humanity.

The main problem is that the ICC has not fulfilled its role as it should have from the beginning, in an environment where there is no equality in the international community

According to Jouni, the ICC was established from the outset to target Russia, non-European states, and poor countries in Africa and other regions, which is why international justice is at risk.
