'I know where Canadian hearts will be on this,' said the ICC’s President, Justice Chile Eboe-Osuji, seen here on March 9, 2020.In its hour of need, confronting one of the toughest crises in its history, the International Criminal Court has turned to one of its earliest and staunchest allies: Canada.
The judge, elected to lead the international court in 2018, is a Canadian and Nigerian dual citizen who spent many years studying, teaching and practising law in Canada, beginning at the age of 26 as a graduate student at McGill University. The sanctions authorization, in a White House executive order, was a response to the court’s investigation of alleged war crimes, including alleged torture and rape, by U.S. soldiers and security agents in Afghanistan and at Eastern European detention centres for Afghan detainees.
Canada’s reaction was muted at first. But this week the Trudeau government endorsed the global statement of support for the ICC. It tweeted that it is “opposed to actions taken against the Court and its officials.” “I trust that the government is strongly supportive of us, and doing the best that it can do to deal with this matter in its own way.”
