Gabon, despite its small demographic size, has occupied a significant diplomatic position in Africa and on the international stage, mainly due to its relative stability, its wealth of natural resources. Although Gabon has never experienced democracy, it is one of the few African countries never to have experienced civil war. For the moment, Gabon is setting an example in terms of political transition and governance.

When it comes to the refugee crisis - a consequence of global instabilities - and the rise in Islamophobia, especially since 9/11, Female Genital Mutilation has re-emerged as a symbol of "cultural savagery" and a violation of women's rights.

Its elevation relative to Europe and Asia positions Türkiye as a “third pole,” akin to the Himalayas or the Alps, although such a classification may not be necessary.

At the heart of Taiwan's struggle against China’s One China policy, bubble tea stands as a testament to the island's perseverance. Through each tapioca pearl and every cup served, Taiwan quietly but firmly makes its point: It is not just surviving; it is thriving. The island’s voice is heard. Not through force, but through culture, flavor, and resilience.

It bears noting that in 2019 the Philippines, at the time led by Duterte himself, quit the Rome Statute - the 1998 founding treaty of the ICC - and the Marcos government never really expressed any interest in rejoining it nor in supporting and cooperating to any other judicial activity of the ICC. It therefore seems that domestic motives played an important if not crucial role in the execution of an arrest warrant.
