	BBC NEWS \| Europe \| Q&A: International Court of Justice
		The Court is composed of 15 judges - of different nationalities - elected to nine-year terms of office by the UN General Assembly and Security Council.
		Since 1946, the court has delivered 93 judgments on disputes ranging from frontiers issues and territorial sovereignty to the non-use of force, non-interference in the internal affairs of states, hostage-taking, the right of asylum and nationality.
		The ICJ is not to be confused with the International Criminal Court (ICC) - also based at The Hague - which was set up to prosecute and bring to justice those responsible for the worst crimes - genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes - committed anywhere in the world.

	Den Haag, International Court of Justice, The Hague
		The International Court of Justice is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations.
		The procedure followed by the Court in contentious cases is defined in its Statute, and in the Rules of Court adopted by it under the Statute.
		The Court decides in accordance with international treaties and conventions in force, international custom, the general principles of law and, as subsidiary means, judicial decisions and the teachings of the most highly qualified publicists.

	International Criminal Court: The unlawful attempt by the Security Council to give US citizens permanent impunity from ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		This paragraph ignores the very reason for establishing the International Criminal Court, which is designed to act only when states are unable or unwilling genuinely to fulfil their responsibilities to investigate or prosecute these crimes.
		Further, the request to the Court in the draft resolution would be renewable on an annual basis, which, for all intents and purposes, would amount to creating a perpetual obstacle to Court action.
		Moreover, that resolution, by seeking to prevent the International Criminal Court from exercising its jurisdiction over an entire class of persons – nationals of non-states parties to the Rome Statute involved in UN established or authorized operations- is not consistent with these requirements.

	CNN.com - Q&A: International Criminal Court - August 8, 2002
		The most serious crimes committed by individuals: genocide (with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group), crimes against humanity (including murder, extermination, rape, sexual slavery, enforced disappearances and the crime of apartheid), and war crimes and aggression and other serious violations of the laws of war.
		The United States, which signed the statute to create the court but never ratified it, is opposed to the ICC in part because it feels the treaty does not go far enough to avoid the risk of politically motivated prosecutions.
		The International Court of Justice, the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, was designed to deal primarily with disputes between nations.

	Kroc Institute : Policy Brief #7 - U.S. Opposition to the International Criminal Court: Unfounded Fears
		The court's jurisdiction will be limited to the most serious international crimes, like genocide and crimes against humanity, and their commission must have been authorized policy by the state for the prosecution to proceed.
		Because the international court is not designed to supplant effective national judicial systems such as U.S. military and civilian courts, it is extremely unlikely U.S. nationals would ever come before the international court.
		Third, the court is a cost-effective institution for addressing violations of international humanitarian law because it will avoid the recurring need to devote time, energy, and money to establishing less effective ad hoc tribunals.

	FrontPage magazine.com :: International Kangaroo Court by John Perazzo
		The International Criminal Court, designed to prosecute the perpetrators of genocide, may soon be unleashed against the world’s leading defenders of human rights: the United States and Great Britain.
		Unlike the International Court of Justice at The Hague, whose role is to settle the legal disputes submitted to it by member states, the ICC’s job is to prosecute individuals involved in the aforementioned offenses — particularly when their own nations’ courts are unable or unwilling to do so.
		This suit is founded on the 1993 “universal competence” law, which allows Belgian courts to rule on alleged crimes under international law, regardless of where they were committed, who committed them or who the victims were.

		These people would not have died if U.S. tax dollars had not been spent by the CIA to inflame tensions, finance covert political and military activities and destabilize societies.
		Certainly, there are other local, regional, national and international factors in many of these operations, but if the CIA were tried fairly in a U.S. court, under U.S. law, the principle of complicity, incitement, riot, and mayhem would clearly apply.
