The ICJ is part of the UN as one of its 6 principal organs. It does not have the power to issue individual arrest warrants as it only has jurisdiction over states. As you correctly stated the ICC which is not part of the UN issues arrest warrants

It's unlikely as ICANN has said that it will retire the domain if io is removed from ISO 3166-1 https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/the-chagos-archipelago-and-the-io-domain-14-11-2024-en

No it would be the first. .su is still considered a CCTLD http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/su.html

That would make it the only 2 letter non country code top level domain. And could also cause issues if another country is later assigned io as it's 2 letter country code by ISO

Yeah. Shipping and taxes does make it a bit more expensive outside of the US

The CPS only does this for England and Wales not the whole of the UK. In Scotland the procurator fiscal prosecutes crimes and in Northern Ireland it is the Public Prosecution Service

Can people please put the country in the title. I have read multiple headlines thatjust say "court decides" with no explanation of what court or jurisdiction. Australia is not the only country where the employment status of Uber drivers is under question

I feel like there are 2 related arguments against this. One is that it could motivate political prosecution to disenfranchise people. The second is that it kind of creates a slippery slope, if treason disenfranchises you why not murder, or rape, or election fraud or whatever other crime someone considers serious enough
