Hello Everyone,
I'm posting this information a day earlier as I am super busy tomorrow and I want to make sure that I stay on top of course work, meetings, marking etc.
This week we will look at the International Criminal Court.
After the Nuremberg trials, a need arose for a permanent International Criminal Court (ICC). 160 nations would meet in Rome to discuss an international court independent of the United Nations - the result would be the Rome Statute
Please read the following and answer the questions at the end:

One of the problems that exists with the I.C.C. is that many important and powerful nations -l ike the USA, China and Russia - have not ratified the Rome Statute, which means thses nations are allowed to participate only when they wish. in other words, if one of their citizens is charged by the ICC, these nations are not compelled to take part in the legal process. The ICC will never charge Donald Trump, Xi Jinping, or Vladimir Putin. Can you see how this would be controversial???
Please have a look at the following website which provides a short video and useful information on the ICC
http://www.coalitionfortheicc.org/fr/node/259
To summarize what you need to do:
1. Read the handout and answer supporting question
2. Watch the short video on the ICC and explore the website.
That's it for this week...
Take care
