The International Criminal Court proves it's completely useless
Honest Reporting posts this statement by Louis Moreno-Ocampo, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. “The decision to do justice in Libya should be taken by the Libyan people. Currently, Libya is not a State Party to the Rome Statute. Therefore, intervention by the ICC on the alleged crimes committed in Libya can occur only if the Libyan authorities accept the jurisdiction of the Court, (through article 12(3) of the Rome Statute). In the absence of such step, the United Nations Security Council can decide to refer the situation to the Court. The Office of the Prosecutor will act only after either decision is taken”.Someone please remind me why we need an International Criminal Court.
Of course - how silly of me to forget. We need an International Criminal Court so that there is yet another instrument of the 'international community' with a fancy sounding name that can be used against Israel and the United States.
What could go wrong?
