> If everyone agreed to arbitrate world matters in the ICC, why even have militaries?

That's… kind of the point? To not have to kill and destroy each other to settle disputes.

Yeah sounds great. But it’s hopelessly naive. As soon as someone disagrees, if they have more real power than the ICC, then its enforcement becomes ineffective. You can’t solve disagreements by agreeing to disagree.
