Starmer also said that we could be banned from using the military radio frequencies that would then belong to Mauritius.

I suppose I can accept that evaluation (as in beyond my ken to challenge it from the legal side).

But it just goes to show how stacked the UN is and maybe something new needs to emerge - though I can't think what. It also comes to mind that countries such as USA, China, India, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey are not members of the ICC and thus beyond its reach. Could the UK not have withdrawn from the ICC? Or isn't it as simple as that?


would it not just get vetoed by the uk at that point
