Next case, please!

Against the backdrop of the Gaza war the daily Delo calls for all those responsible for war crimes to be brought before the International Court of Justice in The Hague: "The strongest ... usually escape. It would be naive to expect that with the setting up of a court for the criminal prosecution of people who are responsible for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes such problems would no longer exist. ... Many voices have been raised in criticism of the court ... . But there have been some changes, albeit very gradual. Of course, true progress will only come when ... some of those who until very recently were convinced that the dead in Iraq and Afghanistan were merely collateral damage on the world's just path towards 'global democratisation' are invited to The Hague and put on trial. ... Next case, please!"
