  I&apos;m now old enough to be confounded by new slang...so for those who are curious about the context:<br><br>&quot;Based is used approvingly to describe someone who projects a lack of concern about how others feel about their actions or opinions. It can also describe a thing, such as an action or event, perceived as both bold and commendable, especially if it challenges or flouts convention in some way.&quot; -Merriam-Webster

  As a German i think it&apos;s justified but a lot of these criminals didn&apos;t get the sentences they would have deserved. Sadly a lot of the people that committed the crimes didn&apos;t even got caught. Especially those who didn&apos;t saw that this was utterly inhumane and were even proud about what they have done.

  My maternal grandfather was a US Marine in WW2 and my paternal grandfather was a seaman in the US Navy hunting German U-boats in the Atlantic and protecting transatlantic convoys. &nbsp;They both passed away in the 2010&apos;s. &nbsp;To me, the UN and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are the true lasting embodiment of everything they fought for!

  Never forget though that the US does not recognize the ICC&apos;s jurisdiction for themselves.
