Bush decided to undo Bill Clinton’s decision to join it. ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/04/25/is-international-criminal-court-the-best-way-to-stop-war-crimes/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/04/04/international-criminal-court-palestine-not-a-state/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/04/04/international-criminal-court-palestine-not-a-state/#comments Wed, 04 Apr 2012 16:34:56 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=130392 One News Now: "The ICC prosecutor decided that Palestine is not a state, and because it's not a state, they can't file charges against Israel at the International Criminal Court," the attorney reports. ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/04/04/international-criminal-court-palestine-not-a-state/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/11/16/un-should-establish-a-global-fund-for-justice-guardian/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/11/16/un-should-establish-a-global-fund-for-justice-guardian/#comments Wed, 16 Nov 2011 16:32:27 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=118795 Guardian.co.uk: The ICC may be here to stay, but more than words are needed to protect our growing system of international law ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/11/16/un-should-establish-a-global-fund-for-justice-guardian/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/10/25/4-candidates-named-for-next-intl-court-prosecutor/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/10/25/4-candidates-named-for-next-intl-court-prosecutor/#comments Tue, 25 Oct 2011 12:26:07 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=116735 News from The Associated Press: Four candidates were named Tuesday as possible successors for International Criminal Court Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo when his nine-year term ends next year. ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/10/25/4-candidates-named-for-next-intl-court-prosecutor/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/10/10/ucla-law-school-forum-discussion-of-the-icc-and-prevention-of-international-crimes/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/10/10/ucla-law-school-forum-discussion-of-the-icc-and-prevention-of-international-crimes/#comments Mon, 10 Oct 2011 12:58:10 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=115846 The Volokh Conspiracy : UCLA Law School’s Sanela Daniela Jenkins Human Rights Project has a special joint online forum with the International Criminal Court office of the prosecutor, which is currently running commentary on the question of prevention, and how the ICC can maximize its crime prevention impact. ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/10/10/ucla-law-school-forum-discussion-of-the-icc-and-prevention-of-international-crimes/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/09/13/complaint-filed-at-the-international-criminal-court-against-the-pope/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/09/13/complaint-filed-at-the-international-criminal-court-against-the-pope/#comments Tue, 13 Sep 2011 15:27:46 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=113417 The Washington Post: A campaign to hold the pope responsible for “crimes against humanity” is not a publicity stunt, sex abuse victims say, even as experts doubt it will have much success at the International Criminal Court. ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/09/13/complaint-filed-at-the-international-criminal-court-against-the-pope/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/08/23/u-n-begins-choosing-the-judges-for-new-court/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/08/23/u-n-begins-choosing-the-judges-for-new-court/#comments Tue, 23 Aug 2011 15:24:58 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=111582 New York Times: As the Bush administration sought to muster backing for a strike against Iraq in the Security Council, the United Nations moved forward this week toward creating an International Criminal Court -- a project that America's allies hope the United States will support over ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/08/23/u-n-begins-choosing-the-judges-for-new-court/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/07/06/down-syndrome-advocates-to-international-court-prenatal-screening-a-crime-against-humanity/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/07/06/down-syndrome-advocates-to-international-court-prenatal-screening-a-crime-against-humanity/#comments Wed, 06 Jul 2011 09:21:09 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=107601 LifeSiteNews.com: Right to Life New Zealand (RTLNZ) revealed that they have joined their name to the complaint in a press release Tuesday.

To answer that question, the Review Conference for the ICC was convened in Kampala, Uganda, on May 31 and is scheduled to last through June 11. It was launched with an ambitious agenda to engage in a stocktaking exercise, assess the Court’s record since 2002, and consider three amendments to the Rome Statute, which established the ICC. The organizers and supportive non-governmental organizations (NGOs) had high hopes that the conference would result in a ringing endorsement of the Court and the adoption of amendments that would greatly enhance its power. Midway through the conference, however, that agenda is taking on water. Most surprising — and gratifying — is that concerns and objections raised by the Obama administration have been central to interrupting the momentum of the conference and, hopefully, stopping the adoption of the proposed amendments." | International Criminal Court ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/06/08/trouble-for-the-international-criminal-court/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/04/09/un-judge-pope-should-be-prosecuted-at-international-criminal-court-for-crimes-against-humanity/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/04/09/un-judge-pope-should-be-prosecuted-at-international-criminal-court-for-crimes-against-humanity/#comments Fri, 09 Apr 2010 16:55:49 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/wordpress/2010/04/09/un-judge-pope-should-be-prosecuted-at-international-criminal-court-for-crimes-against-humanity/ LifeSite News carries this C-Fam report by Susan Yoshihara: "In London last Friday, a high ranking United Nations (UN) jurist called on the British government to detain Pope Benedict XVI during his upcoming visit to Britain, and send him to trial in the International Criminal Court (ICC) for 'crimes against humanity.' . . .

And to add insult to injury, if an American citizen or official wants to find out what Interpol is up to, they can no longer do so.

The president knows that Americans don’t share his view of America, which is a big reason behind his tumbling approval ratings. Saying out loud that we need to immunize Interpol — to put it above the U.S. Constitution — in order to be more like Kenya, Thailand, Zimbabwe, etc., would not go over well. That would bode ill for the administration’s agenda to subjugate the U.S. to such transnationalist schemes as the Law of the Sea Treaty and the International Criminal Court.
