(Israel Hayom) Dr. Dan Schueftan - Most of the regimes that shape international bodies and legal tribunals have no respect for the values of peace, tolerance, and human rights, resulting in the manipulation of the ICC and other bodies.

The writer is director of the National Security Studies Center at the University of Haifa.
