The pursuit of justice is one of mankind's most noble instincts.
The International Criminal Court was embraced with enthusiasm when
it was founded on 1 July 2002. Despite an auspicious start, the ICC
has become one of the nastier manifestations of globalisation with
an exclusive focus on Africa. The Court claims to be independent,
but is inextricably tied both to the UN Security Council, to which
the Court grants special "prosecutorial" rights, and the European
Union, which provides most of its funding. It has avoided any
action against the wars of aggression waged by Western countries.
And while the ICC claims to be a universal Court exercising
universal jurisdiction, it does not qualify on either count. Its
members represent less than one-third of the world's population:
The United States, China, Russia, India and Indonesia are just some
of the many countries that have remained outside of the Court's
jurisdiction. The Court claims to be fighting impunity, yet it has
afforded de fact impunity to several serial abusers of human rights
who happen to be friends of the European Union and United States,
and granted de jure immunity to non-member states such as the
United States. The ICC is a Court whose judges are appointed not
because they are the best legal minds in the world, but because of
squalid vote-trading. The Court has judges who have never been
lawyers, let alone judges. The ICC claims to be victim-centered but
has been publicly criticised for its ambivalence towards victim
communities. The Court has destroyed peace processes across Africa
and exacerbated conflict. In short, it has failed mankind's hopes
for justice. This is the book the International Criminal Court does
not want you to read.
