> but if the country who plays world police doesn't want to collaborate on making it reality and they literally still perform violent actions against other sovereign states without repercussions, what is the purpose?

To be nitpicky here, the goal of the ICC isn't to prevent aggressive acts or war in general. They are only punishing war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide - which is a small subset of potential violent acts a state may commit. The ICC does not have juridsiction over crimes of aggression.

[Yes technically there is an optional thing that countries can sign to give the ICC juridsiction over crimes of aggression, but so few countries have signed it that it may as well not exist]
