Practical question: who can actually arrest Netanyahu?
The UN weighs less than the air on a potato chips bag. If they emit an arrest order, who can legally apply it? If the answer is “all member parties”, does that also enable citizen arresting him by a citizen of a country member of the UN that recognizes civilian arrest? And if the answer is “all member parties”, is failure to arrest him not considered dereliction of duty?
The UN does not give orders or hand out punishment. It’s only a forum for discussion.
The ICC and ICJ are the ones who judge and put out these arrest orders. As for who does the arresting, that would be local law enforcement at the request of their own governments.
The ICJ is part of the UN as one of its 6 principal organs. It does not have the power to issue individual arrest warrants as it only has jurisdiction over states. As you correctly stated the ICC which is not part of the UN issues arrest warrants
All state who are members of the ICC accords are legally obliged to execute arrest warrants if a suspected war criminal is stepping into their territory.
So if Netanyahu was to set foot onto Poland the Polish government would be obliged to make the Polish police arrest Netanyahu and then send him to The-Hague. Same would go for Putin, but i am not sure if the Polish government would manage to capture him alive if he was to set foot there.
Complicated answer: Two local police officers but one is traveling on a bus going 45 km/h while one is going 4 km/h but accelerating at a rate of 1 km/h.

Simple answer: the local police.
Complicated answer: Two local police officers but one is traveling on a bus going 45 km/h while one is going 4 km/h but accelerating at a rate of 1 km/h.
That’s absurd, 1km/h is not the correct unit for acceleration.
They are police they don’t need to obey the laws of physics
I finished my college degree to escape this stuff!!! ;_;
