Make law not war

Article Abstract:

All countries around the world agree in principle that a permanent International Criminal Court (ICC) is needed. The ICC could be established in Rome in July 1998, but there are issues that need to be resolved. The goal is to create a court that is fair, efficient, effective, and does not interfere with national interests. However, it is still not clear which countries will sign, ratify, and enforce the treaty.
