Hope you don't, they are nothing short of a bad joke anyway.
How so?
Court without teeth and a court without any benefits. Sentencing war criminals can be done by the regular courts in said country. The people committing war crimes are usually in countries that don't send them to said court or actively protect them.
Except that in cases where issues are supra national this helps. Could a local court do it, sure. But in this case enforcement is done by signatory countries within their own borders. This means people wanted cannot travel to any signatory country. Which is not nothing in my book.
And depending on the resolve of a country that has a pending case, a wanted person hiding in a country that is not a signatory, might wake up in the trunk of a car parked in the Hague one day. And the court publicly convicted and jailed several high profile war criminals.
So our definition of useless is different.
Edit: Don't let perfect get in the way of good.
The problem is that its not even good, not OK either, its Meh.
My cousin sent me this Joe Rogan video.. you should do your own research
