76. Why not wait to see the charges first?
Edited on Tue May-03-11 06:50 PM by Iterate
Then you can see the evidence; you can follow the proceedings and the trial.

It's a new court by the standards of international law, but give it some time and support. This kind of repression is a problem that has plagued civilization since the first kingdoms, and now there's a chance to build a structure that will limit the power of rulers, declare that there is no sovereign right to repression, and define a responsibility to protect the citizenry.

Holding them accountable is the necessary next step. If you can't enforce it in this case, there's little chance for the others.
