60 years on, there are still preople who think they can slaughter people as a matter of public policy.

the International Criminal Court (ICC) at The Hague, was set up in 2002 to investigate and prosecute people for genocide and war crimes. When the Court was established seven countries voted against it. They included China, Israel, the United States, and Saddam Hussein's Iraq.

Only three years after the ICC came into being, it is already subject to the same kind of national pressures which have stopped the UN dealing effectively with crimes against humanity.
