The NY Times gets it mostly wrong again in its editorial, Detained in Libya. A Libyan militia has detained four officials of the International Criminal Court since Thursday on spurious charges. They should be released immediately. The Times is probably right as far as it goes. ICC officials should be treated with respect. But here’s […]

I have blogged on this before and had the honor and privilege of asking Ambassador Bolton the question: Could the ICC arrest Gadhafi when Libya did not ratify the Rome Treaty? Won’t this place US officials at risk? The ambassador said yes the ICC will be used against us. Today, the ICC did issue an […]

This article describes the logistical nightmare the arrest of the Libyan leader Gaddafi and two associates by or on behalf of the International Criminal Court. It’s a doozy. Basically, the question is will the international community assist the ICC in its pursuit of the Gaddafi gang. Maybe the Libyans will betray him. Maybe a third […]

I am no friend of the International Criminal Court. It is an attempt to gain the power to try and jail those who commit heinous acts and there is a serious question about jurisdiction (power) and legitimacy.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) is, like the EU and much about the UN in general, is NOT our friend. It must be stopped. President Clinton actually signed the Rome Treaty establishing the ICC but did not send it to the Senate for potential rejection. It would have been rejected. President George W. Bush rescinded […]
