ICC Probes Sudan Killings While West Funds Similar Atrocities Elsewhere
The ICC is “collecting evidence” of alleged mass killings and rapes by the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan, per Al-Monitor. The ICC has been 'investigating' Darfur since 2005. That's a 19-year 'investigation' for a region where the US has negligible strategic interests. Meanwhile, other conflicts, with robust lobbying efforts in Washington, enjoy a rather different legal and media landscape. One
might wonder if the urgency of ICC probes correlates directly with the lack of lobbyists for the accused. No $450K checks from the RSF to Rep. Smith (OpenSecrets.org, 2023 data on file) means fewer impassioned pleas against 'politicized' international courts.
