It occurs to me, would the laws of an international criminal court really
change that often? There is a very wide variety of activities and a very
wide variety of potential crimes in the United States, and all of it is
changing at a rapid pace. But when we are talking about war crimes that
lead to the mass slaughter of hundreds or thousands of people, is the
situation not somewhat more clear-cut? The need for a legislative and
executive branch might thus be somewhat less pressing.
