    That’s not how the legal system almost anywhere works, and especially not at the ICC.

    It’s the prosecution that had to present evidence for their claims.

      The South African government presented evidence, and this German statement does not address it, aside from dismissing it as “political”. I have no experience with ICC’s laws, but I would suppose that calling the prosecution “political” is not a valid defense in the ICC bylaws.

        South Africa you say? Is that the same South Africa that visited Bucha and still had little to nothing to say about genocide?

        Not saying anything about genocide in Gaza or not but fuck South Africa for the lack of action when it fits their business ties with Russia.
