The ICC "is the first permanent, treaty based, international criminal court established to help end impunity for the perpetrators of the most serious crimes of concern to the international community." (www.ICC-K.info) However, "The Court does not have its own police force. Accordingly, it relies on State cooperation, which is essential to the arrest and surrender of suspects." (www.ICC-P.info) And largely as a result, Kony has eluded capture since his arrest warrant was issued 7 years ago. (www.Kony1.info)
Our country began sending military advisers last October (www.Kony2.info), and 100 of them are now assisting regional forces in capturing Kony. (www.kony3.info) This is a great start, but a lot more could be done, especially regarding the many other fugitives from international justice.
