On March 11, the judges of the International Criminal Court were sworn in by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan.
The new court might get one very high-profile case soon: There are plans by British NGO's to prepare indictions for possible violations of humanitarian international law in an Iraq war against members of the British government.

In my view it will be a court that will investigate crimes in small countries without political clout.
Both europe and the US will decide that the court is not worth arguing about and put it on the back burner of thier discussions. They will feel it is not worth creating more problems that would cause continued hard feelings between them
