Legal Experts Explain Why the ICC Struggles to Hold Powerful Countries Accountable

CAN THE ICC REALLY HOLD POWERFUL COUNTRIES ACCOUNTABLE? In this episode of #ABOGADO with Atty. Karen Jimeno and Atty. Mike Toledo, legal experts discuss the limits of the International Criminal Court when it comes to investigating countries involved in military conflicts. The panel explains that some countries, like the United States and Iran, are not members of the ICC. Because they did not sign the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, the ICC has very limited power to investigate them. Experts also say that cases can only move forward if the United Nations Security Council refers the situation to the ICC — but this is difficult because powerful countries can block it using their veto power. 📺 Free TV Ch. 31, Cignal Ch. 24, Samsung TV Plus, TCL Smart TVs, Blast TV 📱 Cignal Play, BNC YouTube and Facebook Visit our website: https://bnc.ph Check out our official social media accounts: https://www.facebook.com/bncphl https://twitter.com/bncdotph https://www.instagram.com/bnc.ph https://www.tiktok.com/@bnc.ph https://www.youtube.com/@bncphl #bilyonaryonewschannel #bnc #latestnews Warning: Unauthorized use of any BNC videos without proper approval will lead to legal action to the fullest extent of the law.
