RTSC:
What body language? You are seriously asking me that.
What has buhari done to deal with sections of his military involved in crimes against humanity? Even in the recent shia shooting.
Absolutely nothing.

Your government is culpable and you are sharing the culpability with them by supporting inhumanity.

Trump just pulled out of the ICC. Why?
Because the ICC is holding the US government to account.
So there is no way you can accuse the ICC of hypocrisy.

They have called out nations far powerful than Nigeria. It is not their fault those nations are stronger.

Even then, the US government has done enough in trampling Human Rights violations within its own military.

A lot of soldiers are in American jail for that.

What has Nigeria done?

What has Buhari done? Is this a 19th century kingdom where the king orders for the head of people that commit crimes? I like Buharis style of following procedure and not usurping the roles of agencies saddled with certain responsibilities.
The one i'm familiar with, the killing of Shias in Kaduna. The state government set up a commission to investigate. The commission concluded that the military had the right to react to provocative force from the protesters. Then the arbitrary killings by SARS, the VP started the reform SARS campaign with new rules and a help line to escalate rights abuses.
I'm not saying things are perfect human rights wise. I feel more needs to be done. But the ICC itself has no locus standi to poke it's nose anywhere in this country. The Nigerian human rights commission should be at the forefront of any human rights campaign in Nigeria. Not that dubious ICC.

I wonder why ICC only find third world leaders and military guilty of war crimes.

The Bush family and Tony Blair did a lot bad to humanity in Iraq and Afghanistan, yet nobody has been called to book.

Obama and other Western leaders are responsible for the chaos in Libya and Syria today yet no one is talking about them.

It's like there is a different rule book for the Western leaders.

I have never seen any Western leader charged for war crimes yet we can see their negative impact everywhere.

While I believe third world leaders are to be checked, I am totally against the hypocrisy in global politics.

It is not hypocrisy.
When herdsmen kill farmers, farmers cry to the UN.
When soldiers massacre civilians, the civilians cry out too.
You will start seeing western leaders charged for war crimes when they start mass killing their own citizens
or supporting ethnic cleansing.
Till then, they are saints.

FlirtyKaren:
The International Criminal Court (ICC) who released an annual report on preliminary examination activities (2018), stated that the Nigerian army has committed war crimes against humanity.

According to the ICC, it has received “a total of 169 communications” from Nigeria and its assessment has shown that security forces in Nigeria have committed war crimes varying from murder, torture, and intentionally attacking the civilian population.

“Specifically, the Office found a reasonable basis to believe that the NSF committed the war crimes of murder pursuant to article 8(2)(c)(i); torture, cruel treatment pursuant to article 8(2)(c)(i); outrages upon personal dignity pursuant to article 8(2)(c)(ii); and intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population,” the ICC said.

According to Cableng, Fatou Bensouda, the ICC prosecutor disclosed that they also found reasonable basis to believe that Boko Haram, also committed war crimes against humanity.

"Furthermore, the Office found a reasonable basis to believe that Boko Haram committed the war crimes of murder pursuant to article 8(2)(c)(i); cruel treatment pursuant to article 8(2)(c)(i) and outrages upon personal dignity pursuant to article 8(2)(c)(ii)”.

The ICC added that Boko Haram was “intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population or against individual civilians pursuant to article 8(2)(e)(i); intentionally directing attacks against buildings dedicated to education and to places of worship and similar institutions pursuant to article 8(2)(e)(iv); pillaging a town or place pursuant to article 8(2)(e)(v); rape, sexual slavery and sexual violence pursuant to article 8(2)(e)(vi)”.

The ICC also disclosed that they met with Abubakar Malami, Nigeria’s minister of justice and attorney general of the federation (AGF), to further investigate eight potential cases of Nigerian army war crimes against humanity.

ICC says several “files pertaining to alleged violations by members of the army were submitted to the Office (of the prosecutor). These files relate to a limited extent to the two potential cases identified by the Office”.

“Of the 27 files provided to the Office, 24 either lacked information to determine their relevance for the admissibility assessment or did not appear relevant.

The ICC complained that “other information specifically requested by the Office which was assessed to be potentially relevant to the admissibility assessment has yet to be provided by the Nigerian authorities”.

The ICC who also said it is examining the farmers-herders crisis in Nigeria, added since 2017, the Nigerian authorities appear to have “taken concrete steps toward fulfilling their primary responsibility to investigate and prosecute ICC crimes”.

However the prosecutor noted that the Nigerian government always denies any allegations against the Nigerian army.

“While there seems to be a tangible prospect of further proceedings against members of Boko Haram, including high-level commanders, at this stage the same cannot be said of the NSF, in particular since the Nigerian authorities tend to deny any allegation against the latter.

“While acknowledging the cooperation of the Nigerian authorities in the course of the preliminary examination, the Office will require, for the purpose of expediting its complementarity assessment, further information and evidence
demonstrating that relevant national proceedings are being or intended to be conducted without delay”.

Every State is Sovereign and so the U.N cannot just jump into fighting an internal War. Even though Nigeria has all the characteristics of a failed state, this Government has made it look like they are cleaning the mess of the previous Government. So the international community has no justification to interfere just yet.

When new weapons are made what do you think happens to the old stock?
They are sold to the those who need it, when sales are down what do the Western countries do?
They create chaos in versatile developing countries that will lead to war then market their old stock of weapons to the people fighting there via proxies to recover from expenses/loss and also gain control.
Take Libya, Syria and now Yemen as a yardstick.
Bring peace to the world and see some so called top world countries fall from the world list or food chain as I love to call it. It's all about money, power and respect finally.

The US and 'most' of their allies are not bound by the ICC. The United States is not a State Party to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (Rome Statute), which founded the International Criminal Court (ICC) in 2002 as a permanent international criminal court to "bring to justice the perpetrators of the worst crimes known to humankind – war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide", when national courts are unable or unwilling to do so.

The states parties to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court are those sovereign states that have ratified, or have otherwise become party to, the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.

As of November 2016, 124 states are members of the Court. Other states that have not become parties to the Rome Statute include India, Indonesia, and China. On May 6, 2002, the United States, in a position shared with Israel and Sudan, having previously signed the Rome Statute formally withdrew its signature and indicated that it did not intend to ratify the agreement.
