The International Criminal Court is, by any objective measurement, racist. So why do liberals love it?

By Brendan O'Neill

March 15, 2012 "
The Telegraph" -- Imagine if there were a criminal court in Britain which only ever tried black people, which ignored crimes committed by whites and Asians and only took an interest in crimes committed by blacks. We would consider that racist, right? And yet there is an International Criminal Court which only ever tries black people, African black people to be precise, and it is treated as perfectly normal. In fact the court is lauded by many radical activists as a good and decent institution, despite the fact that no non-black person has ever been brought before it to answer for his crimes. It is remarkable that in an era when liberal observers see racism everywhere, in every thoughtless aside or crude joke, they fail to see it in an institution which focuses exclusively on the criminal antics of dark-skinned people from the "Dark Continent".

Yesterday, the International Criminal Court delivered the first verdict in its 10-year history, finding Congolese warlord Thomas Lubanga guilty of recruiting child.... Lubanga is black, of course. Despite having pretty much global jurisdiction to investigate war crimes, and despite having received complaints about alleged crimes in 139 countries, the ICC has only opened investigations into seven countries, all of them in Africa: the Democratic Republic of Congo (where Lubanga committed his crimes), Uganda, the Central African Republic, Darfur/Sudan, Kenya, Libya and the Ivory Coast. (NB the Serbs stood trial in a special, separate court: the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia.)

Well... so-called liberals (not true liberals) love it because they get that warm and fuzzy feeling inside thinking they are doing something good for the planet, all the while drinking their lattes, jumping on a cause because it's fashionable at the time and telling everybody else how they should live their lives. So... it's not that crazy to think that the racist element of the International Criminal Court is something that is easily overlooked when climbing the ladder of success for the neo-liberal. They like to tell you they care about humanity, the planet and will donate whole-heartedly but at the same time..... look the other way when injustice is just behind the door. It's repulsive!!!!!
