The Road to the ICC: Paved With Good Intentions?

A troubling story from Steph Nolen in The Globe and Mail this weekend, concerning the possible role of the mighty International Criminal Court in the continued propping-up of Robert Mugabe's murderous regime in Zimbabwe. The so-called "Charles Taylor Effect" will certainly give the ICC's detractors more fodder for their criticisms, that's for sure. This article is a sobering reminder that when it comes to justice, one size definitely does not fit all.

[As an aside, I see that the Globe has finally abandoned its stupid practice of locking online articles and restricting access only to subscribers - about time, too.]
