International Criminal Court has not handled a lot of cases but the ones they have dealt with have been big ones. The assignment being completed within this report asks the author of this response to summarize whether the International Court is handling and discharging its duties properly per its charter and the other question asks the author to provide a sample case/situation and what the outcome of that case was.
Charter Compliance
The basic charter of the International Criminal Court is pretty basic and to the point. The one main kvetch the author of this paper would offer is that one a criminal proceeding is delegated to an international body like the United Nations (which can refer cases to the court) or anything else like it, the bureaucratic morass that can ensue is ridiculous but the political games that can ensue are even crazier. While not applicable to the criminal court, a good example of how a singular action can be taken entirely differently by two major members of the United Nations Security Council was the proposed placement of a missile defense shield in parts of Europe that are geographically close to Iran. Russia cried foul and asserted that they would not allow for such a happenstance and would aim missiles at certain nations because they deemed the missile shield a backdoor way of neutralizing their nuclear arsenal as a piece of leverage in international affairs, even if it begs...
For example, the United States would probably prefer to capture and otherwise deal with the perpetrators of 9/11 even if the home nations and the home bases of the people who started the 9/11 plot are mostly not in the United States, or at least were not at all times during the course of the planning and execution.
Even so, there are events so wide-ranging and all-affecting that an international handling of the case is really for the best. A great example of this would be the aftermath of World War II, which affected (or was caused by) most of Europe, the United States, the U.S.S.R. (now Russia and eastern Europe), Japan and many other corners of the world. Allowing any one nation (or even a small group of nations) to manage the aftermath of such as seismic and major event in world history would be impossible and would no doubt be disputed by a lot of nations excluded from the process. Even so, there is just entirely too much chance of a nation wanting to take a stance different than the collective (or at least…

Reasoning with clear ideas and examples, what are at least two of the main justifications for the legitimacy, authority, and usefulness of the UN, and two of the main criticisms?

Criminal Investigation Investigative Task Force Assuming that legal authority was not an issue, should this investigation be conducted by VPD personnel or a multijurisdictional task force? This investigation should be carried about by VPD personnel as the lead agency and head of a multijurisdictional task force. There are several reasons for this. First, VPD was the first agency to begin investigation of the crimes because the first explosion and damage occurred there.
The new law has prosecuted 426 traffickers in 203 cases. These traffickers had 844 victims in that year alone. This law imposes penalties from 10 years imprisonment to life imprisonment (Kyodo). Myanmar: Effective or Not? The capacity of the national government in fighting the problem of human trafficking has been limited (UNODC 2007). It is particularly limited in implementing policy changes in remote areas where traffickers operate. Anti-trafficking groups are looking
