Extract

If international criminal justice is to be successful, it must largely be delivered at the domestic level. This is because it is hard for a single court in The Hague, working across the world with limited investigative, prosecutorial, and judicial capacity, to try more than a handful of cases. At best, the International Criminal Court (ICC) should be expected to complete one or two major trials a year, while scores of important cases are prosecuted locally.
