Review of International Criminal Court

I'd like to write a review of the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, although the internet will not allow me to do so at this time: due to the poor layout and format of a company called Google, which will likely fold in due time. I wish the ICC much success, and join them in their shared aims: and the review I would like to write on the UN ICTY is one of an informed perspective: as a New York-licensed attorney. Some reviews are more valuable than others, and having worked and seen this court from the inside: the ICTY, that is: my written review was bound to be impeccable or stellar. To assemble or organize an international staff to operate a building conducting lawful procedures and trials is incredibly complex. Again, to reiterate: I did not work at the International Criminal Court, nor I am writing this tribunal of The Hague. I have spent some time trying to write the review for the UN ICTY, and it is not possible at this time. The UN International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, based on its procedures and operations that I saw firsthand in its prosecution and above all its staff of competent Prosecutors, objective and neutral fact-finders leading an investigation and prosecution against those charged with the most serious crimes of war and genocide: I hope that the world will remember the UN ICTY, for it impressed me like no other. All of the people there treated me with professionalism and incorporated into the process of prosecution, to the extent appropriate for one at my level as an intern. The technology never faltered or delayed our work, and I've worked at many places as a lawyer that have had numerous tech outages or failures. The staffing also impressed me, and I have such dear memories of the Bosnian Case Manager I met, and there were different perspective of various regions represented. I will forever remember this incredible court of The Hague, although I am not sure the general public will, but it may and I hope that it does. For its case decisions, its memorandums, briefs or pleadings: were all very well done, to the extent that I observed it, which was a window of four months, or three and a half, although I think it was closer to four: I could see that the legal operations of this place were impeccable and outstanding. I had no leanings one way or another as far as the prosecution: nor any real tendency and bias to favor one side of the conflict over another. I really had no leanings whatsoever, and arrived very prepared for the prosecution's trial of Dragomir Milo evi , and from a legal and prosecutorial standpoint: the trials couldn't have been more well-done, at least from my perspective. I wish I could write this review where it belongs, under the UN-ICTY's reviews, although at the time, and I cannot figure out why: that operation is not possible, so I have chosen to write the text here: under the ICC's page of reviews. I heard that the procedures, at least those which were beginning, were well done, but I cannot review them, as I was not involved. My understanding and belief is that this court of The Hague is to conduct their own investigations and criminal prosecutions or trials in a way which emulates, as much as possible: the ICTY's legalism, appropriate to the ICC's different jurisdiction. I support the work of the ICC as well, and I wish all of them: the very best of luck, although as a rule of thumb: always remember: these are two very distinct and separate places. I was an intern placed in the OTP in the Summer of 2007.
