Nuremberg Betrayed: ISIS and the International Criminal Court

"Coming in the context of this 70th Yom HaShoah, the statement by Fatou Bensouda, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC): '...I have come to the conclusion that the jurisdictional basis for opening a preliminary examination into this situation [the crimes of ISIS] is too narrow at this stage' - is a betrayal of the ICC's original aspiration to follow the historic example of the 1945-46 Nuremberg Tribunal.

The politicization of the ICC has added to the emptiness of the 'Never Again' catch-phrase, compounded by the 'ever again' fear of the 'G-word' (Genocide) political and financial repercussions...

We still have a window to ban financing, recruiting, arming, glorifying the Nazis' heirs. We must strive to isolate and quarantine the Jihadist epidemic, so that there may be no need for Nuremberg after it is all over – although, as we already should know, it will never be totally over."
