Jeff Smith is angry at liberals. He's angry at immigrants. He's angry at visible minorities and thinks they should go back to wherever they came from. Jeff is American, lives in Detroit, and operates a small business: a drone racing school. After a busy day teaching drone enthusiasts to pilot unmanned aerial vehicles and to send drones on small autonomous missions, he chats anonymously with white supremacists on social media about ridding North America of undesirable immigrants and progressive politicians. One evening, Jeff writes a witty post describing a fantasy assassination of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, a frequent target of vitriol in Jeff's online community. Jeff's post is disseminated widely. The next morning a swarm of twelve laptop-sized drones situated in Ottawa and piloted from multiple laptops in the U.S. drop small packets of explosives near Trudeau as he is biking to work. Thankfully, the packets miss the Prime Minister and fail to detonate. Canadian Department of Defence personnel down the drones with an electromagnetic weapon, disassemble them, and learn that three are controlled by a laptop owned by Jeff Smith. The attack is front page news across Canada, and Canadians are outraged. Canada is a State Party to the ICC Treaty and has now opted in to the Kampala amendments. Canada refers the situation to the ICC prosecutor to investigate. Global Affairs Canada provides the ICC prosecutor with the anonymous anti-Trudeau social media posts they attribute to Jeff and with evidence that a laptop owned by Jeff controlled three of the captured drones. Question 2 (1 point) If Jeff Smith claims self-defence against an imminent attack from Canada, why is his argument unlikely to succeed? a) Because self-defence cannot exculpate a political or military leader for the crime of aggression b) Because Jeff was not authorized by the U.N. to use force in self-defence c) Because a defender cannot enter a foreign state to defend itself d) Because there was no evidence of an actual armed attack on the U.S. from Canada
