Colonel Samsudeen Sarr President Donald Trump’s latest executive order—slamming sanctions on International Criminal Court (ICC) officials for daring to issue arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant—is yet another wrecking ball aimed at the crumbling edifice of international justice. The hypocrisy reached new heights when Biden, who had decried Trump’s strong-arming of the ICC, eagerly cheered on the court’s arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin, issued by ICC prosecutor Karim Khan—an old friend and protégé of Essa Faal—for alleged war crimes in the Russo-Ukrainian war. In The Gambia, despite relentless warnings against the neocolonial maneuvering that seeks to push President Adama Barrow into prosecuting former President Yahya Jammeh and members of his administration based on the highly flawed Truth, Reconciliation and Reparations Commission (TRRC) report, human rights activists continue their dogged campaign to see it implemented, brandishing the ever-present specter of Western-backed retribution.
