The World, Neither the ICC nor ICJ Have Honeslty Confronted Iran's Support of Terrorism


Global Power Dynamics and Iran's Influence

Root Causes of Conflicts:

Financial and military support by Iran, UAE, and Egypt.

Proxy wars are driven by strategic and ideological interests.

Iran's Influence and Support:

Hezbollah:

Designation: Recognized as a terrorist organization.

Support: Substantial financial, military, and logistical aid from Iran.


Hamas:

Designation: Recognized as a terrorist organization.

Support: Funding, weapons, and training from Iran.


Houthis:

Designation: Recognized as a terrorist organization.

Support: Military aid, intelligence, and training from Iran.


The World's Broader Implications

Ideological Influence: Iran supports Shia groups to expand its ideological reach.

Proxy Conflicts: Iran backs factions to counter rivals like Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

Resource Competition: Conflicts over resources like oil.

Arms Trade: Fuels violence and instability.

Geopolitical Interests: Support for factions aligning with regional goals.

Humanitarian Impact: Displacement, casualties, genocide, crimes against humanity, starvation and infrastructure destruction.


Specific Regional Involvement

UAE:

Strategic interests and regional influence in Sudan and the Horn of Africa.

Egypt:

Nile water dispute and border security with Sudan.

Iran:

Expanding ideological influence and supporting factions in proxy wars.


Addressing the Issues

Diplomatic Efforts: Mediation to reduce and eliminate external interference and stop the financing

Economic Development: Reducing the appeal of armed conflict.

Regional Cooperation: Managing disputes like the Nile water issue.

Conclusion:

Iran's actions in global conflicts, through the support of Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, are the main drivers of regional instability, influenced by both ideological and strategic motivations. Addressing these issues requires comprehensive international cooperation, focusing on peacebuilding, disarmament, eliminating external interference and cutting off financing through their oil exports etc.

NOTE:

The ICC, based in The Hague, has been investigating Israel’s activities in Gaza for the past three years yet apparently not the activities of Hamas in Gaza since 2007?

The ICC/! CJ in their decision was Ultra Vires under law. The Montevideo Convention of 1933 outlines the criteria for statehood, which include a permanent population, defined territory, government, and the capacity to enter into relations with other states. Palestine meets some of these criteria, but its full status remains contentious due to ongoing territorial disputes and the lack of a universally recognized government.

While some countries recognize Palestine as a state and has a certain level of recognition at the UN, it does not have universal recognition or full legal status as a sovereign state in the eyes of all international law or actors.

The pane overstepped its legal authority when it stated and based its ruling by agreeing with Khan’s assessment that the ICC has jurisdiction over the case since Palestine is a state party as per the ICC statute.

Palestine is NOT a State or a country therefore the ruling was Ultra Vires. (beyond the legal power or authority of the person performing an action)
