ICC Wants to Prosecute General Franks for War Crimes

Another Reason Many Dislike the UN - Unfettered, Unaccountable Power Grabs

Just who will the International Criminal Court be accountable too? Who makes sure that it is not misused? The UN? The same body that put Cuba on the Human Rights Committee that has Libya as it's head?

The International Criminal Court (search) in The Hague, Netherlands, is supposed to bring justice for the victims of war crimes, genocide and other evils.

But a court case in Belgium offers a strange preview of what could be coming in the world of international jurisprudence.

It centers on U.S. war chief Gen. Tommy Franks (search), the architect of Operation Iraqi Freedom. . . .

One American official told United Press International the court would fail to bring war criminals to justice because it "undermines the U.N. Security Council's role in keeping peace and security, creates a prosecutorial system with unchecked powers, is vulnerable to politically motivated prosecutors and asserts jurisdiction over citizens and states that have not ratified the treaty."
