    This is interesting.

    What happens if a country’s leader is labeled a war criminal, but the US and its allies refuse to sanction it?

    There have been multiple instances where Israel’s allies have refused to vote against it at the UN, and if that doesn’t make a difference, the US has vetoed any vote.
