It apparently didn't before, but now that so much has happened it is suddenly important to quickly move on matters? I'm sorry, but if the UN wants to worry about quickly responding to these sorts of things they should figure out how to get involved before huge numbers of people are killed, not go "well, I guess they were warcrimes, we should do something about that". [/QUOTE]Well, two points here.
Firstly, it's the
EU and
not the UN that is making the case about the ICC
Secondly, you can't really blame the UN for the lack of action - its the member states that get beatings for that. The UN can do no more than ask and cajole for troops - other countries simply weren't willing to send them.
