Today the International Criminal Court is examining allegations of grave crimes
in Georgia, Colombia, Afghanistan, Guinea, Cote d’Ivoire and Gaza. These
“preliminary examinations” are further raising the stakes in these already
high-stakes areas of conflict. In this four-minute video, leading figures
in international criminal justice discuss the role of the ICC’s newly public
examinations. Ken Roth, CEO of Human Rights Watch, applauds them as a useful
"prod" for domestic justice as well as a way of rebutting complaints that the
ICC is too focused on Africa. ICC Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo describes his
authority to conduct these inquiries and promises to provide more detailed
information about the examinations going forward.
Featured in this video: Patricia O’Brian, United Nations
Under-Secretary-General; Luis Moreno-Ocampo, International Criminal Court;
Cecile Aptel, International Center for Transitional Justice; Kenneth Roth,
Human Rights Watch; Christopher Stone, Harvard Kennedy School.
