Is there no other option internationally? Vietnam or India should be stable enough and independent enough to host it. Even China could be possible if pressure from the US is the problem.
Other than South Africa, I’d probably go somewhere in Europe that’s relatively independent, like Spain or Sweden. Wouldn’t pick Norway because of their history of giving US presidents the Nobel peace prize while they’re literally slaughtering people. Wouldn’t go with Switzerland because of their shady finance sector. Wouldn’t go with the UK because they are an American lapdog.
South Africa or Ireland, some of the only countries that seem to be willing to speak up for international justice. Though I guess smaller countries will be more sensitive to economic sanctions from globql superpowers.
It is not only the question if a country is far away enough from Usa. China or India, they have such a different view about what justice is. I think it wouldn’t do well.

You think India, the country of nationalistic mob attacks on minorities, is fit to house the international criminal court?
Right, that’s a problem. So Vietnam? Any other country?
A Communist one-party state hosting it would be somewhat polarising.
Maybe Switzerland could?
Random person from Switzerland here.
Sure, how much money is in it for us?
You would be the logical choice.

Sweden’s quite right-wing, and Spain is likely to have a Vox-led neo-Falangist government after the next election.

They would not run the court, just host it.
There are conflicting political interests but how does the understanding of justice differ?
