I ask for all member nations to consider approving this proposal.
---
The jurisdiction of the Court shall be limited to the most serious crimes of concern to the international community as a whole. The Court has jurisdiction in accordance with this Statute with respect to the following crimes:

(a) The crime of genocide.

(b) Crimes against humanity.

(c) War crimes.

(d) The crime of aggression.

However a member state may make a writ of habeas corups to secure the custody of a citizen of another country for various other crimes. (when warranted).

All member countries must comply with orders of extradition from the ICC.


Thank you

What kind of enforcement mechanism would be needed to enable this? A global police force of some kind at least. I doubt that would be very popular.

Would it be possible to either a) post a copy of the proposal here, or b) be a bit more specific about what it entails? (I would go for option A if I were you - it makes things less complicated all round).

Not in the least

Member nations would just agree to turn over the accused to the Custody of the Intl Court.

I did post my proposal

Oh. Sorry - I was just expecting something more specific.

Please don't think I am rushing to attack you, or your proposal, but it is lacking in detail. Mostly about how you expect to do all of this.

For example - the crime of agression. Does this mean someone using threatening language to someone else when they are down the pub, or one nation invading another without cause? And "crimes against humanity" is a pretty loose definition that covers a whole load of things, including genocide and war crimes.

So - if you could provide a little more clarity as to what the ICC would cover, how it would do it, the format of the trials (indeed who would be involved in them) and so forth - it would make discussing the proposal a little easier :}

Thanks.

Thats no problem. This is my first UN proposal, hence why I am sort of 'winging it'.


The Crime of Aggression is in reference to another Nation invading/attacking another without just cause.
