> They almost exclusively target africans, middle easterners, etc.

That's because the last major war in Europe (before the current round of Russian aggression) was before the ICC; the ICC was a follow-on to special ad hoc tribunals for individual situations, one of the most significant being the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, which targeted, almost exclusively, Europeans.

> Wonder why the ICC isn’t targeting anyone from france, britain, etc for Libya or Syria.

Because they’ve gotten no reports of such crimes? (Unlike the UK in Iraq, where they did, and performed an extensive investigation and report, ultimately concluding no basis for charges at the Court.)

> You mean they targeted the enemy that NATO was attacking?

Croatian Republic of Herzeg-Bosnia?

Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina?

Kosovo Liberation Army?

Republic of Croatia?

All of them had people charged by the ICTY, but I don’t think anyone thinks of those as “the enemy NATO was attacking”.
