Ask the Belgians. The moment someone filed charges against one of their
own, they immediately started backpedaling on the whole ICC issue.

I am Belgian. The replacement of the law on crimes against
humanity with a much weakened-down version had very little
to do with the complaint against Louis Michel, which was in
essence a political joke.

Bull****.

The only reason that happened was that a Belgian politician was a target
of something they thought was going to be "safe."

It was caused by blunt threats from Washington.

Bull**** again. A Belgian politician was threatened, so they were
suddenly interested in softening the law. Threats from the US had
nothing to do with it.
