I could be wrong, but ...that post seemed crafted to fish for a negative response. C'mon..."Hey, Cypherpunks! Support the international police force!" (?)... Characterizing the ICC as an "international police force?" As investigatory and operating in hostile environments? That seems slightly inflammatory. Crypto can serve an important role in human rights activities - I support that, but I can't say that I support the ICC at this point. Sovereignty is an important concept for data/freedom/privacy havens, and "world government" seems to be adopting "unfair sovereign competition" rules. "UN" ICC FACT SHEET @ gopher://gopher.igc.apc.org/00/orgs/icc/undocs/faq_dpi.txt Can a citizen be prosecuted from a country that is not party to the agreement establishing the Court? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Yes, provided the country where the alleged crimes occurred is a State Party or the UN Security Council refers the case to the Court. However, under the principle of complementarity, the Court will act only if the national court of the accused does not prosecute him or her. <snip> "Complementarity?" ~Aimee
