Nuremberg Prosecutor Ben Ferencz speaks out on the Crime of Aggression
The indefatigable Ben Ferencz (90 years old), a prosecutor at the Nuremberg Tribunals, has fought for international justice all his life, and was at the Rome Conference in 1998 when the International Criminal Court (ICC) treaty (Rome Statute) was created. Now he is at the ICC Review Conference, where a debate is raging on how to define the Crime of Aggression, and whether the ICC should have jurisdiction over it, or the UN Security Council (most powerful countries want the UNSC to control the Crime of Aggression).

High Demand for “The Reckoning” Screening Kits in Kampala
We’ve been giving out Screening Kits of “The Reckoning” in English and French, free of charge to civil society organizations and country delegates, at the Review Conference (RC) of the International Criminal Court taking place in Kampala, Uganda. To get a Kit you just have to fill out a form giving us some basic information about your organization and how you would use the Kit. Hundreds of civil society representatives (with a huge contingent from Africa) and country delegates are here. Our Screening Kits include a 1-hour version of “The Reckoning”, 2 20-minute films we produced for the Kit (“ICC and Africa” and “Peace and Justice”), a Screening Guide, FAQs about the ICC, and an Audience Survey form. On our first day at the RC we brought 100 and they all went fast. Let’s see what happens on the second day!
