How would you answer this question?

One of the major arguments against the formation of a true international criminal justice agency is the loss of national sovereignty for the countries involved. Assume you have been asked to propose a true international criminal justice system, how would you address this issue? Include in your answer the three components of the system and how each would function, where each would be based, methods for recruiting and training personnel and what authority it would really have.

I'm not doing your homework for you, kid. I mean seriously, you could have at least tried to obscure the fact that this question comes straight from an assignment you were given.

But, I'd answer the question in the negative; i.e., that an international criminal court and justice system as an independent entity (not simply made up of a coming-together of cooperating nations) is an impossibility.

I'd recommend reading this essay from Steven Den Beste which makes important points about the nature of alliances and international agreements. Different nations will always have fundamental disagreements, whereas an international court assumes an underlying and enduring unity between them. A "universal", international court would only be possible in the case of one world government (God forbid), and not really even then.

OMG! That question is a individual project for AIU students. I can't believe you copied and pasted it chris your such a cheater
