This whole situation is the fault of the US and France. This is their 4th invasion of Haiti, they never solve anything, they just do this shit to further oppress the Haitian people and steal more of Haiti's resources.

The only time anything good came out of these interventions was the restoration of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who seemed to be the only recent head of state who actually cared about Haiti. And even then, the United States removed him from power in 2004.

Nobody is going to arrest the leader of a nation with Nuclear Weapons.

why they don’t do the same for Bush, Cheney, Blair, etc.

Iirc the USA said the didn't care about Hague and that they would invade netherlands if they ever tried to arrest a US politician or general.

The United States is not a member of the International Criminal Court (ICC). The Act authorizes the President of the United States to use "all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any U.S. or allied personnel being detained or imprisoned by, on behalf of, or at the request of the International Criminal Court". This authorization led to the act being colloquially nicknamed "The Hague Invasion Act", as the act allows the President to order U.S. military action, such as an invasion of The Hague, where the ICC is located, to protect American officials and military personnel from prosecution or rescue them from custody.
