Germany on Monday vowed continued support for the International Criminal Court, ahead ​of a trip by its foreign minister ‌to the Hague-based court that is currently in the US administration’s crosshairs.

Donald Trump has long ​opposed the ICC and recently urged countries ​to leave the “evil” court immediately.

His administration has ⁠sought to punish the court over investigations ​into US personnel as well as its arrest ​warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Many governments, especially in Europe, have reacted by rallying behind the ​court, describing it as a cornerstone of ​international justice.

    I’m suprised given the unwavering support across the political spectrum in Germany for Genocide as long as the nation doing it is of the “right” ethnicity, with the only party not doing it even called “extremists” (and “anti-semites”, of course) by the others and the German Press.
