'Those who declare that we have no moral duty to cooperate with ICC need to see farther than myopic self-interest.' ThoughtLeaders
Among some ancient and modern-day cultures, prostitution remains part of legitimate society. In Senegal, Turkey, some countries in Europe, and in the state of Nevada, prostitution remains legal. While the governments of these might be considered amoral since they do not criminalize prostitution, there remains a distinction between what is legal and what is moral. Obviously, the cliché twine does not necessarily meet.
The moral question has likewise been tackled by more recent philosophers, from David Gauthier to Gregory Kavka, whose “Kavka’s toxin puzzle,” sets the basis for contemporary dilemmas such as the “indecent proposal” where economic rewards determine what is moral and what is not. Where impunity characterizes a despot’s autocracy, it is reflected in his human rights record. We are not talking simply about murdering 6,248 or the estimated 30,000. We have had three EJK convictions. Do the math. Against 6,248, 99.59% remains unresolved. That is the important metric.
Cognizant of an ongoing smear campaign discrediting the ICC, allow us to include the costs of other cases such as those politically instigated accusations leveled against former Senator Leila de Lima and those against media organizations like the ABS-CBN Corporation, not to mention a Filipino Nobel Prize laureate.
