Please for the love of God just over ride the US. I live here and I’m getting tired of seeing how my country is hindering things and preventing consequences for people who deserve it. Yes, I know my country has done horrible things throughout its history, but that doesn’t mean we can’t start doing the right thing though. Also yes, I know this is ridiculously optimistic/naive sounding.
@Holyginz I don’t think you realize what you’re asking. If the UN tries to override the US that means using force to stop Israel - which means having a war against the US and Israel.
The US has a law authorizing it to invade Europe if the ICC ever tries to prosecute an American war criminal.
The Security Council is about wars/security. This is why all the permanent members/major powers have veto. It’s a forum for dialogue.

I wonder why the US and Israel are not members of the ICC. /s
Funnily enough family members of the hostages held in Gaza flew to the Hague to press ICC to investigate Hamas, source: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israeli-victims-oct-7-press-icc-investigate-hamas-2024-02-14/. Which in my books is quite hypocritical, considering that Israel itself doesn’t honour the ICC rulings.
And the whole fact that the US withdrew their signature speaks a ton of their sense of impunity and being above international law.
Laws for thee but not for me.
As long as you wait for politicians to do so. Time is coming for the popuplation tô overthrow those bags of shit that govern your country
