The global legal order rests on a kind of collective act of faith. For it to work, nations must trust that other nations will behave as if its principles matter. The system is not so unlike the dollar in this respect: It holds value only when - and only because - most of those who use it believe that it does.

Los ataques de Hamás a Israel y la respuesta israelí han sido desastrosos para los civiles. En la masacre del 7 de octubre, Hamás atentó contra civiles desarmados, entre ellos, mujeres, niños y ancianos, lo que resultó en mil 200 personas muertas y alrededor de 240 rehenes. La subsecuente campaña militar por tierra y aire en Gaza desde marzo de 2024 ha matado a más de 30 mil personas, un tercio de ellas mujeres y niños.

For weeks now, Israeli government officials have taken aim at the International Criminal Court, which they expected would issue arrest warrants against Israeli leaders for alleged war crimes. It is now clear they were right to be concerned. On May 20, ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan announced that he has applied for arrest warrants for three leaders of Hamas—including its chief, Yahya Sinwar—as well as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, the country’s minister of defense.
