Essay Evidence/Arguments: International Crime

Here is an article regarding the latest ICC conviction. The Prosecutor v. Jean-Pierre Bemba Gombo (2016)
It took more than 11 years of work and a lot of money.
The article also discussed the flaws of the ICC with some quotes which might help in an essay about International Crime, especially in relation to cooperation. However, it also touches on some of the positives, such as setting a precedent for rape and sexual assault to be considered war crimes.

So I was referring specifically to the execution of the pair of Australian citizens in Bali; arguably this was a violation of key human rights under the ICCPR (fair trial, trial in home country, etc) and this was assisted by that act. In general, Police Powers violate civil liberties, including the right to privacy. So it's a cool thing to discuss the balance between human rights and civil liberties, and the need to maintain societal safety ;D

Another Congolese war criminal. It gives me faith that another prosecution has been successful. Have a look at this article here that notices the trend of over 90% of warrants sent out, are for African Men. It's an interesting critique of the system: who is being targeted and why?

I think it is the neo-colonialism tbh. 'Gambia joins South Africa and Burundi in exodus from International Criminal Court' much of the reason many African countries are leaving its jurisdiction.
