ICC prosecutor holds talks on aiding war crimes prosecutions by new Syrian government

wHy AreN’t ThEy prOSEcuTiNg iN SyRiA?!?!

This is what the court was set up and best suited for .

Prosecuting extremely brutal dictators and their associates after rebels overthrow the government.

Having a public fair trial is cathartic and encourages the establishment of an actual justice system instead of just field executions .

Giving the rebels some legitimacy by having them acknowledge the legitimacy of western institutions is a good trade

Hopefully, they indict Putin and Iranian leaders as well for extra catharsis

Less likely , they can finally prosecute all the non syrians in the isis prison camps and give them an actual sentence
