IPSEs IN THE LAST 24H
  • Janet Yellen
    Janet Yellen “U.S. and European support for Ukraine has been essential for Ukraine's resistance to Russia's invasion. And let me be clear: It is also critical for the security of the American and European people. If we stand by as dictators violate territorial integrity and flout the international rules-based order, they have no reason to stop at their initial targets. They will keep going. The U.S. and Europe must show that Russia cannot outlast their resolve to defend a rules-based order that took them decades to shape. This includes the need to crack down on Russian sanctions evasion and provide Ukraine the funding to equip its military, fund critical government services and ultimately rebuild once the conflict ends. That's why I believe it's vital and urgent that we collectively find a way forward to unlock the value of Russian sovereign assets immobilized in our jurisdictions for the benefit of Ukraine. This will be a key topic of conversation during G7 meetings this week.” 2 hours ago
  • Antony Blinken
    Antony Blinken “We reject the prosecutor's equivalence of Israel with Hamas. It is shameful.” 2 hours ago
  • Joe Biden
    Joe Biden “The ICC prosecutor's application for arrest warrants against Israeli leaders is outrageous. And let me be clear: Whatever this prosecutor might imply, there is no equivalence - none - between Israel and Hamas. We will always stand with Israel against threats to its security.” 2 hours ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “Western allies are taking too long to make key decisions , opens new tabon military support for Ukraine. Every decision to which we, then later everyone together, comes to is late by around one year. Russians are using 300 planes on the territory of Ukraine. We need at least 120, 130 planes to resist in the sky. You can't provide that right now? OK ... returning to the planes that you have on the territory of neighbouring NATO countries: raise them up ... shoot down targets, protect civilians. Can they do this? I'm sure that yes. Is this an attack by NATO countries, involvement? No.” 2 hours ago
  • Balakrishnan Rajagopal
    Balakrishnan Rajagopal “On the request by the ICC Prosecutor for warrants: against Hamas, the charges of hostage taking and killing likely to stand but not others. Against Israeli leaders, all charges likely to stick. And missing charges include attacks against various civilian objects including homes!” 5 hours ago
  • Hadja Lahbib
    Hadja Lahbib “The request submitted by the Court's prosecutor, Karim Khan, for arrest warrants against both Hamas and Israeli officials is an important step in the investigation of the situation in Palestine. Belgium will continue to support the essential work of international justice to ensure that those responsible for all crimes are held accountable.” 5 hours ago
  • Bezalel Smotrich
    Bezalel Smotrich “We haven't seen such a show of hypocrisy and hatred of Jews like that of the Hague Tribunal since Nazi propaganda.” 5 hours ago
  • Benny Gantz
    Benny Gantz “Drawing parallels between the leaders of a democratic country determined to defend itself from despicable terror to leaders of a blood-thirsty terror organisation [Hamas] is a deep distortion of justice and blatant moral bankruptcy.” 5 hours ago
  • Geoffrey Nice
    Geoffrey Nice “I'm pleased to see that the law is now occupying the place it should. Until now, politics has been suspected of holding back the application of the law and in a way that's been very unsatisfactory - now the law is saying it's going to play its part, so that's a good thing. Don't prejudge the issue, it's an application for arrest warrants by Mr Khan in respect to people on both sides and we wait for the judges decision whether to confirm or not.” 5 hours ago
  • Sami Abu Zuhri
    Sami Abu Zuhri “The decision by the ICC prosecutor to seek arrest warrants for three Hamas leaders equates the victim with the executioner. the ICC decision gives encouragement to Israel to continue its war of extermination in Gaza.” 5 hours ago
  • James Bays
    James Bays “The ICC deals with only serious crimes but when you hear what is detailed on both sides, it really is sobering. On the Israeli side, he is naming the prime minister and the defence minister but says this was a state policy, this was official government policy to use starvation as a method of war. I think it is interesting that he's decided to make this public at this stage because the other important decision by Khan [Karim Khan] in the last couple of years is when he brought an arrest warrant against Vladimir Putin and his children's commissioner, Maria Lvova-Belova, in March 2023. At that stage, there were arrest warrants. We're not at this stage; he's gone public saying there should be arrest warrants and he needs to go to the judges. Last time, he had already gone to the judges and it was made public that the judges had approved the recommendation. I can't tell you the reason why, but perhaps he's trying to force an end to the violence by speaking out as early as possible and trying to force efforts for a ceasefire. That seems to be a possibility - why he's decided to act this way.” 5 hours ago

Bosnia - Republika Srpska - politics

The IPSEs are presented in chronological order based on when the IPSEs have been pronounced.

“In every possible way [it] tries to slow down the process. The leading politicians [in Republika Srpska] don't care about discovering the remains of missing people due to a very simple reason – the highest percentage of missing people in Bosnia are of Bosniak ethnicity, nearly 85 percent. We recently had a problem with the state when they didn't permit for the MPI [Missing Persons Institute] to buy special vehicles in the sum of 50,000 KM [$30,724].”

“Stop the monster [the High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina, Valentin Inzko] who is trying to impose decisions on us that were not established in the Dayton Agreement; he is a foreigner who will destroy Bosnia, he is taking revenge on Serbs and Croats. We will not officially announce or respect any of his decisions in the RS [Republika Srpska]. If Inzko continues to implement decisions, I will consider beginning the integration of the RS with Serbia.”

“There is also the erection of a monument to convicted war criminal [former Bosnian Serb leader] Radovan Karadzic, denial of the Srebrenica genocide and other similar rhetoric that threatens unity. After 25 years, we have witnessed the abolition of Dayton instruments.”

“They [Republika Srpska] have spent over $20m on lobbying efforts against Bosnia. Croats have also spent millions on lobbying, while the Federation [entity] has spent $0 because clearly, they must feel that lobbying the US is not necessary. That is not a strategy and naive thinking at best. The Republika Srpska has a long-term plan and a strategy, and while people point fingers at them and say how they will not succeed – I do not think their goal is to have their objective realized today or tomorrow. It is a long term investment into the future.”

“The Republika Srpska could then secede if it has the support of Serbia and Russia and the acquiescence of Croatia. Croatia is in a position where it could decide the issue either way. If the Republika Srpska attempts to secede with the support of Croatia as well as Serbia, it might be difficult for the international community to prevent it. Bosnia’s situation is precarious… It is possible that, whatever [Dodik’s] strategy is, his constant talk of secession could eventually generate a momentum that he will not be able to control, and that he will become the prisoner of his own rhetoric.”

“Dodik has admitted that he committed and continues to commit the criminal offence of unauthorized wiretapping of third parties, in this case, members of opposition parties. This is a member of the presidency who has admitted a criminal offence in front of the rostrum of the highest legislative body. Since the competent authorities did not react, we must file a criminal complaint”
