The quest of civilian protection Sample Clauses

The quest of civilian protection. Soon after the cold war a renewal of ethnic conflicts in Africa resumed into a state of anarchy and political violence in many countries.

What is well known is that the authoritarian regimes in these countries kept control giv- ing rewards to supporters and punishing opponents, military and police power, redirecting hostility toward targets in the West and other means. The majority of these countries are not States Parties to the Rome Statute. This means that the Court could receive jurisdiction by the Security Council as it happened for the situation in Libya. The Court, however, has a limited place in the preservation of peace and security as shown by the challenges also debated in the next paragraph.
