Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the admin that applied the rule (check modlog first to find who was it.)

Israel probably doesn't need a tribunal. Not because they didn't commit war crimes or anything like that, but because this tribunal exists for one very specific reason.
When you read "Nuremberg-style tribunal" you probably thought "crimes so bad they had to create a new court for them" but that's not really the case. Because after the Nuremberg trials the international community set up the international courts in The Hague to deal with crimes against humanity. Unfortunately they made a mistake. They forgot to include one crime in the jurisdiction of the courts. So, to prosecute this specific crime they need an additional court, while all other crimes will be judged by the existing ICC and ICJ.
The crime in question is "aggression", basically the "crime of starting a war without provocation". And that's a lot easier to prove for Russia than for Israel, where the conflict includes other parties that also acted militarily.
And the US..
There is pretty much zero chance of Israel losing or collapsing any time soon, so probably not. A country needs to be thoroughly defeated for Nuremberg style trials to happen.
Until the capital of russia is captured and leaders of regime captured as PoW the possible tribunal will worth same as previous international court rulings
Yes, but diplomatically the commitment itself is a big deal.
So now the easiest step left to actually capture people responsible for military aggression and local genocides to bring them to justice
If you look at Yugoslavia and Slobodan Milošević and Ratko Mladić, it can work without a full capture of the aggressor. Lets hope it goes somewhat like back then.
For everyone wondering: It makes sense to host suche a tribunal in a country outside of Russia. Yes, it only makes sense if the regime falls. When the regime falls, it offers the ability to get rid of the old guard of the old regime. You do not need to deal with him yourself and a trial in Russia will not galvanize his remaining supporters against you. You will also not have the old guard still in the background trying to sabotage you. Arrest them, send them to the netherlands and they will manage the rest.
This is coming from the same guy - Jette - who promised during the election to build 10 new cities. In reality, no one can buy an electric stove or heat pump anymore because the infrastructure is at capacity. The same guy that introduced kilometer charge for trucks so they should go electric. Except it takes between 5 and 6 years!!! for a trucking company to get a single charger installed.
But no... Nuremberg style trial in the Netherlands that is never, ever going to take place, that is important. No wonder my birth country is fucked. It started with Rutte: Trump's fleshlight.
If you want a 'start', I think it's Lubbers. Privatised a ton of shit, which continued later on with child subsidy being cut down on, and privatisation of stuff in the Illness Law.
The bullet always comes from the right-wing oligarchs.
Trump will put everybody involved on a list to protect his Russian buddies.
Trump is already on a list the creepy fucking degenerate.
Russia has a full list of tu quoque arguments. What are they going to do about it?
The charter did not recognize a tu quoque defense—asking for exoneration on the grounds that the Allies had committed the same crimes with which the defendants were charged.
Fleet admiral Chester W. Nimitz testified that the United States Navy had also used unrestricted submarine warfare against Japan in the Pacific; Dönitz's counsel successfully argued that this meant that it could not be a crime.[183][184] The judges barred most evidence on Allied misdeeds from being heard in court.
The obvious answer is for the law to apply equally to each party. I'd be utterly fine with America paying for its past crimes.
Why Nederland? Kyiv would be a more logical place.
It's not the ICC (by the UN) who has jurisdiction, but a special tribunal by the Council of Europe. It just "happens" to be located in The Hague too.
These kinds of things happen at the Hague generally
As, of course, it's tradition.
Logically it would be Saint Petersburg if it should mirror the Nuremberg trials.
Rostov, cause it's where the Yanukovich fled in 2014, after which russia started the war. Would be a symbolism that they surely wouldn't miss.
