And if you put that in the context of others who are wanted by the ICC, for example, Benjamin Netanyahu is really prime minister, Russian President Putin, there's little chance of those arrest warrants being served any time soon. And so this is quite a victory for the ICC, especially at a time where it's under a lot of scrutiny from some quotas.

I've been covering these courts for more than a decade now. And, you know, international justice moves notoriously slowly. I have never seen it move this fast.
