Narrative:

Inside marker on ILS runway 22R ord I had 1 aircraft approximately 5 mi in front. After he landed, tower cleared foreign air carrier to takeoff on runway 32R, the controller noting that foreign air carrier was slow to respond issued an expedite order. Still noting foreign air carrier was not acting fast enough he told foreign air carrier to cancel takeoff clearance. Foreign air carrier did not respond. The controller issued 3 more orders to abort and foreign air carrier would not acknowledge or abort. At 1000 ft AGL we elected to go around. The go around was uneventful. If we would not have gone around, we would have collided with foreign air carrier just as he rotated for takeoff.
