• The US administration proposed a 'peace plan' that favors Russia, and offers 'full amnesty' to all parties involved in the Ukraine conflict.
• Donald Trump announced his intention to pardon former right-wing Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, convicted of drug trafficking.
• The Israeli Prime Minister, Benyamin Netanyahu, formally requested a pardon while being investigated for corruption.
• Netanyahu also tries to avoid accountability for the security disaster that allowed the massacres perpetrated by Hamas in October 2023.
• The return to unashamed force in international relations coincides with demands for impunity, formerly a characteristic of authoritarian or failed regimes.
• The threats to the International Criminal Court (ICC) are escalating, especially after the arrest warrants issued against two Israeli officials, for the conduct of the war in Gaza.

Conclusion: This resurgence of impunity exacerbates the erosion of the old international order based on rules. This phenomenon represents a threat to justice and undermines democracy.
