Upholding a rules based international order is actually beneficial, also to the West. By undermining the ICC to parade around the genocidal scumbag Netanyahu, countries like the US, Hungary and Germany are hurting themselves as it grants people like Putin more movement and recognition in the world.
Meanwhile “the global south” has a vested interest in strengthening the ICC and ICJ as these institutions can help bring some balance against the imperial actors who have been suppressing them far too long.
If someone brings up Mongolia because of Putin having visited there, Mongolia is a landlocked country with 3.5 million people, sandwiched between Russia and China. They have very little diplomatic maneuverability.
In other words:
