Please read the New York Times article describing the arrest here and answer the following questions as a journal length response in the comments section.
1.) What is the responsibility of an international body to intervene when crimes against humanity continue to occur or when the legal system within a country abuses the human rights of its citizens? What are the situations in which you think an international body should act?
2.) In the last few years, there has been growing concern and outrage internationally for the genocide being perpetrated in Darfur. The International Criminal Court has investigated, witnessed the atrocities, and issued three arrest warrants. The ICC can not intervene in a country that has not dedicated its itself into bringing these perpetrators of crimes against humanity to justice. What would you do if you worked for the ICC and wanted to verify that the Sudanese government and legal system was taking the role of bringing criminals to justice seriously?
