Wait so are you saying that ICC rulings are in fact enforced by the judicial branch (like any other arrest warrants) and not the executive? That would be great because I was just about to lament on here that they seem to depend on the willingness of the executive in most countries. Which is the precise reason why we leave law enforcement to a separate branch

It's actually both branches, since law enforcement falls under the executive. Canadian law has been directly aligned with international law for decades. This means that if Netanyahu ever set foot on Canadian soil, the RCMP would be obligated to arrest him.

However, I would assume they would probably hand him over to the Hague for prosecution, rather than try him in Canada...even though they have the legal authority to do so.
