Hey guys, I'm pretty sure there were 4 convictions; 2 being this year.

The Prosecutor v. Ahmad Al Faqi Al Mahdi, interesting as he was convicted for the war crime of attacking religious and historical buildings. That's a 100% growth in convictions in just a year, effective??

I agree, and I need to look into it further, but I do think that each country is swamped in monopolised agreements for trade, economy, tourism, etc. And I think this means that in order to protect the new world order, mainly crimes that exist only in a concentrated area will be targeted, as is the case with the concentration of African criminals being warranted - because there is so much domestic unrest in Africa. I do need to do more research, but I definitely agree with your statement.

You're absolutely right - good find. Four convictions, all for actions in Africa.
100% growth in convictions in a year - correct - and great for analysis!

Would it be worthwhile arguing the effectiveness of stopping people smugglers re boat people or does that verge too much into human rights?

I think it would work as long as you approach it in a manner synonymous with the Crime topic! Use Crime legislation, don't address the UDHR/ICCPR in much depth, focus on the prosecution of criminals and the dissuasion of criminal behaviour. If you can do that in your response, then the example works ;D
