The Intellectual Criminal Court: Our Awakening

Published: June 13, 2011, 11 p.m.

In this special show, broadcasted from both The Hague (Den Haag) Netherlands, as well as Leiden, Netherlands, five students from Central Michigan reflect on their experience with the International Criminal Court in Den Haag. These students are enrolled in a special course focused on the amazing and important work of the International Criminal Court, a young court which is empowered with prosecuting individuals for committing genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. In fact, is was exactly a week ago today, when the students saw the Court for the first time. It was a Sunday, and the Court was closed, but it was moving nonetheless. But the students have since visited the Court and seen it "in action". To learn about the court first hand is transformational, and to witness its work is transformational. In this special show, the students discuss what has struck them in day 10 of this Netherlands adventure which ends on June 30. Follow us on our blog at http://www.romestatute.com
