Neither the United States nor Russia is a party to the International Criminal Court – and the United States punishes other governments for supporting the ICC.
Both the United States and Russia defy the rulings of the International Court of Justice.
Of 18 major human rights treaties, Russia is party to only 11, and the United States to only 5, as few as any nation on Earth: https://indicators.ohchr.org.
Both nations violate treaties at will, including the United Nations Charter, Kellogg Briand Pact and other laws against war.
While most of the world upholds disarmament and anti-weapons treaties, the United States and Russia refuse to support and openly defy major treaties.
There is a problem in world leadership.

War tax resisters are taking to the streets to call for an end to endless war. They are divesting from the taxes that fund war and investing in people, planet, and justice. The United States’ endless war on terror is continuing with drone warfare in Afghanistan and from over 800 overseas military bases outside the United States. In addition, the recently signed National Defense Authorization Act approved $25 billion more in funding for fiscal year 2022 than the Pentagon requested. We are not waiting for government approval of our actions. We are divesting from war by refusing some or all of our federal tax dollars that fund it, or by living below the taxable income level. We invite everyone to join us in this public campaign of civil disobedience to war and war funding.
Thousands of people across the United States—from San Diego to Manhattan—are protesting the U.S. military budget on or around Tax Day (April 18). They will promote war tax resistance and highlight the deep flaws of our current budget.
The Kenyon Student Worker Organizing Committee has been fighting for improved working conditions on Kenyon’s campus for the better part of 2 years and Kenyon College is quietly at the forefront of union-busting amongst the higher-education community, spending thousands of dollars an hour to take away the rights of its undergraduate student workers with implications for undergraduate and graduate workers nationwide.

This is the third of three actions coordinated by the B.R.E.A.D. organization to raise awareness of the shortage of affordable housing for people with low income. The current required set-asides for housing developers do not serve people with income at or below 80% of the Area Median Income. People with lower income are just left out of the equation, and most often can't afford rent without assistance. Location: Washington Gladden Social Justice Park, 404 E. Broad St., Columbus, 43215.
