Judge Kirsch, I'd like to also echo the comments made by Ms. McDonough. I remember pre-ICC and your hard work and you as an individual being a significant driving force for the court and moving the international community away from a culture of impunity to a culture of accountability, to paraphrase your words. I want to thank you, as a Canadian, for all the hard work you've done with respect to breathing life into this idea and making it a reality.
My questions, Judge Kirsch, are an extension of what's already been mentioned. There are two things I'm really interested in. Number one, again, is the obstacles you face for prosecuting individuals and things that as a nation we could do to help facilitate support for the ICC in executing its duties.
Secondly, we've seen, as you mentioned before, a number of individuals, such as the 51 individuals in the Sudan who have been cited for prosecution, individuals like Joseph Kony, who, as head of the LRA, has committed atrocities beyond most people's worst nightmares. What are the obstacles to finding and bringing these people to justice?
In your comments, you mentioned Thomas Lubanga as being the first person, as of March of this year, to actually be arrested in a country and brought in front of the court. What do you need, and what can a nation like Canada do to help to strengthen the ICC?
