The International Criminal Court has therefore issued an arrest warrant against Putin for war crimes. These would have consisted of the deportation, that is to say the illegal transfer, to Russia of Ukrainian children who lived in orphanages or had been lost by their parents and then entrusted to Russian families. Children who, according to the Court, were indeed in the war zone but were “protected” by the Geneva Convention which made their transfer and adoption impossible. Of course, according to the reasoning of the Court, this same convention enjoys such international legal force that it would prevent these children, if they had remained in the zones of the ongoing conflict, from becoming innocent victims of war. For the Court of The Hague, the abstract form of the law takes precedence, even if it is a normative shell devoid of all substance and of all truly human concrete character. Abstract formalism is the mask under whichAnomos . For our part, we believe that war is not so respectful of the legal formalism invoked by the International Criminal Court. Left where they were, those children would be dead. But, damn it, they would be dead, “protected” by the Geneva Convention!
The reality of the facts, obvious to all, is that these children were saved by the Russians who removed them from the dangers of the war zones. Children who are probably of Russian ethnicity and language, although they are officially Ukrainian citizens. But for the formalism of the ICC, abstract citizenship prevails over the cultural concreteness of men. On the other hand, the Court of The Hague did not have the same inquisitorial zeal with regard to Zelensky or Petro Poroshenko responsible for the massacre of the populations of Donbass, children included. Poroshenko, during a speech in Odessa years ago, before the current war, comparing the prospects of Ukrainians with those of the people of Donbass, promised: Our children will go to schools and kindergartens, while theirs will be holed up in basements .” A promise kept, as evidenced by the report of the Orthodox Church of Turin available on this link .
Read or re-read ” The Nomos of the Earth ” by Carl Schmitt: human rights and humanitarian law are only a screen for political power relations and a tool in the service of Western globalist ideology. It is not even true, except in terms of immanentist imitation (Christians know or should know who the simia Dei is), that “human rights” are an emanation of Christianity, or in any case of the religions Abrahamic, because they are on the contrary the expression of the ideological imposture that constitutes the ideological matrix of the Enlightenment which confused, with art and deceit, the rights of man and the Christian idea of the person – which in its concreteness is never given withoutthe social and cultural or community affiliations by which it is defined in its own and irreducible identity – as for the concept of individual, it is always abstract, empty, unrelated, formal, manipulable because it has no identity concrete. If there is a universal “human nature”, always modulated however in personal and community realities, concrete and inviolable, there does not exist an abstract “Man”, that is to say devoid of particular belonging. Now, let everyone think what they want, but the initiative of the International Criminal Court demonstrates once again, if it were still needed, the instrumentalization of international jurisdictions in the service of the hegemonic power of American-dominated West.
Moreover, the Court of The Hague, whose real “thirdness” can be doubted (how many Russian judges sit there and how many Western judges?), is not recognized by Russia, but not by the Member States either. States, so it has no world jurisdiction and its claim to have one is only a manifestation of the Enlightenment sham mentioned above. The United States does not recognize the International Court because, while babbling about human rights, it wants to keep its hands free on foreign policy and war. For the many war crimes they have committed during their two centuries of existence, American presidents and governments should have already been judged and condemned if certain international tribunals were not used. We are not aware, indeed, whether arrest warrants have been issued by the Court of The Hague against George W. Bush or Barack Obama for American crimes in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Serbia, Syria, Libya or against Harry Truman for the two atomic bombs on Japan in 1945. And do not come to say that, in the case of Truman, a possible international tribunal, constituted after the fact, applying the penalty retroactively, would have acted, according to the liberal principle “nullum crimen, nulla poena sine lege”, illegitimately. It should not be said because that is exactly what happened with the Nuremberg trial, which was celebrated by retroactively applying the penalty for crimes committed in the absence of the formulation of the legal case of “genocide”. , which was not in force until then,
The West does not realize that, in the Russian case, it is not dealing with just any Slobodan Milošević – that is to say, with a character of the second order – but with the leader of a power which currently enjoys the political support of the rest of the world, which is now fed up with American and Western bullying. The blind inability of the West to understand that the world is not on its own, that other peoples have different philosophies of life from ours and that, except on the spiritual level, it is not possible to etablishing hierarchies or primates between theirs and ours (ours dating back only a few centuries), leads the world towards a devastating conflict. If the West wants war with Russia and the rest of the world, it is certainly on the right track. But this time, he might take a wrong step. For everyone !
