    They can’t make a country arrest it’s own leader.

    But if they travel to any UN country, the country is supposed to arrest them, or coordinate with countries willing to.

    So these are more like an exile than anything.

    Kind of like a sanction but instead of money it’s on personal travel.

    Sanctions are still waaaaaay more effective though and what we should be doing. Money is what these despots care about.

      Only to countries that are part of the ICC. Many countries, including the US, aren’t a part so Netanyahu can safely travel to those places.
