The International Criminal Court exists because far too often, countries are unable or unwilling to punish authorities responsible for terrible crimes like massacres, torture and forced disappearance. This ideologically-driven attack on the ICC is a gift to perpetrators while robbing victims – like the people of Sudan – of their hopes for justice.
