A quiet but deeply unsettling moment just shook the foundations of international justice, proving why Europe needs digital sovereignty - and most Europeans not too interested in tech likely missed it: The Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), a court based in The Hague and central to Europeโ€™s upholding of human rights, suddenly found that his email account was shut down.

I think the ICC by and large was built on the idea that governments would protect it. Instead we see multiple EU governments also attacking the court, be it verbally, be it by disobeying the court and violating the respective treaties or by not defending it against such attacks.

Countries like Germany and Hungary seem motivated to destroy any form of rules based order in favor of Trump, Putin and Netanyahu.
