I mean yes, the protests of 2019 did start because of a bread and general inavailability of food; that said it was just the most recent spark that lit the protests that eventually pressured the toppling of the regime, the protests' mantras were: freedom, peace and justice (horia, salam wa adala). We were crying out for more than just food in protests that has been ongoing for decades, but thank you for caring in the first place and I apologize for the paragraph. (ps. not so fun fact the prime minister was technically on house arrest but really he was kidnapped and placed in Elburhan's complex where the dictator claimed that they were simply "having a cup of tea")

Watching this video now is darkly ironic seeing how the country's situation just worsened into a civil war in which people are still debating if its actually a war, or just a bit of unpleasantness
I was sort of aware of the despots dilemma from my own thoughts on such issues, though this channel described it far better than I could. I heavily lean towards giving these people off-ramps as much as I may dislike them personally, though I hadn't considered fully how stricter measures might dissuade atrocities. It really is a dilemma not only for the despot but the international community, obviously the stakes for us comfortable westerners are more about our moral comfort than a life or death issue for us. Still, it deserves very serious consideration, I very deeply understand the wish for safety on the part of anyone, particularly for those engaged in high stakes situations. It's normal to want to seek both justice but also a resolution to any conflict, it's impossible though for us to affect it when we're so far away from the seat of power, so I suppose all that it will remain for me right now is a dilemma.
John Bolton used this exact example when he lobbied against the ICC statute. Just imagine how Philippines may have ended up if the statute was inforce.
@@phisczwell yeah, but here's the thing. The difference is getting to bring the murderer to justice, ceasing the crimes against humanity and solving the issue and having the issue drag on for longer than it needs to. If people can't step down, and they're trapped at the wheel of a country after doing some really bad shit- is it not ideal to at least stop the harm that is ongoing over a notion of justice? I'd say no.
The issue with the ICC isn't that it doesn't allow the dictators an off ramp. It's that it has no teeth but what member states of the UN are willing to give it at any particular time. If the democracies of the world were willing to fight to ensure democracy in Sudan, the military wouldn't stand a chance. It's the half measure of creating the ICC to punish low-level/powerless offenders without giving it the ability to go after the high-level/powerful ones that creates the problem. It's a half-assed solution, and it shows.
the biggest problem with Roma Statute and ILC are the fact that BIGGEST POPULATION DOES NOT SUPPORT IT. Be it US, Russia, PRC, India, Indonesia, all had their own qualms about the 4 crimes creating a supranational authority of international law that can pierce national jurisdictions. The fact that the nation above all also a regional stability keystones, 4 of which with actual foreign agenda and real expeditionary capabilities to a degree also worsen the problem
How are you going to justify that to people, the public is emotional and like to keep the moral high ground in a lot of these things, I think it's easier said than done. Look at the situation in Burma, I recall when ASEAN was trying to negotiate with the junta, the cries from the Burmese people all called for a non-compromise civilian government
wishful thinking - the public will always want a democratic solution, even if doing so without a transition will basically ensure civil war or democracy never happening.
Wonderful video and very convincingly argued. Reminds me of the peace process in Colombia with FARC -- letting some heinous criminals go free was the price the government had to pay to end the war
This is also why the Maduro government won't bulge in Venezuela. The stakes are extremely high for them, they are wanted men and women involved in crimes against humanity and drug trafficking. It's all about survival.
As bitter as it is to admit, perhaps agreeing to an international court to prosecute dictators does more harm than good? It's natural to want to seek justice, to hunger for some kind of retribution or atonement for evil actions. But can any persuit of justice that creates more innocent victims be called justice? How many more lives is the imprisonment of one dictator worth?
In case anyone is wondering why South Sudan chise and fought i secede from Sudan, this is why. ThArabs of Sudan repressed the largely Christian African population and even post-secession, th Arabs still have social and political strife in Sudan. They simply cannot manage the country without sowing tension and instability.
@@jakesweet1000I mean, it’s hard to mess up a dumpster that is already fire.

The despot's dilemma reminds me of the debate over the effectiveness of banning narcotics as some dispute their level of harm e.g. for weed & believe its impossible to reduce its demand & than banning it will only drive the drug trade underground
To be honest it’s fascinating that this is so recent. I’d always thought dictators would always rather die than give up a shred of power, so hearing that any of them surrendered or quit is astounding.
It should just approve missile attacks until dead, after some given period to surrender, and should declare that anyone around the criminal is jistified target too, and no time period on assasination.
The member nations would never allow that, and for good reasons. This would effectively turn the UN/the court into a one-world government that can impose its will by force, and considering what countries participate in it, nobody wants that.
