Canada should put its money where its mouth is on strengthening the International Criminal CourtTORONTO—International Criminal Court member countries will meet in the Hague starting Dec. 5 at a time of renewed attention on the crucial role of the court in justice and accountability for serious international crimes.  Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in late February and the litany of apparent war crimes will no doubt be on everyone’s minds at the Assembly of States Parties session.  In many ways, the international community’s unprecedented response to this conflict has been a tipping point, with countries individually and collectively activating an extensive range of accountability mechanisms at lightning speed. Within a matter of weeks, the ICC prosecutor opened an investigation in Ukraine following a referral by a record number of countries, underscoring what can be achieved with an ample dose of political will and moral courage. Canada has been at the forefront of many of these efforts, using virtually every tool at the government’s disposal to deliver justice for victims of grave international crimes. In addition to joining in referring Ukraine to the ICC, Canada imposed a series of targeted sanctions on more than 1,000 individuals and entities complicit in human rights abuses. In May, following a request by the ICC prosecutor, Canada also announced a voluntary contribution of CDN$1-million and the deployment of a team of Canadian investigators to support the prosecutor’s work. Despite the messaging that linked these contributions to Ukraine, raising unfortunate perceptions of politicization in the court’s work, these funds cannot be earmarked and should be used across all investigations on the prosecutor’s docket.  But, while these contributions signal a strong commitment to justice, they also serve as an acknowledgment by Canada that the court does not have the resources to fulfill its mandate. Court officials had been raising this concern long before the Ukraine conflict. In its May 26 announcement of renewed support to the ICC, the Trudeau govern 'Commitments to justice'? You can't be serious. Your lying boss is destroying justice with every 'serene' breath he takes.
