#ICC #ICJ The goal cannot be speed. The goal has to be diligent investigation and truth seeking. We should expect our judicial institutions to act efficiently and without delays, as that is a key component of justice for victims and survivors, however primarily I expect them to pursue the evidence and take their time to do that according to the strictest legal and procedural requirements and the highest ethics. Courts have to be above the fray of impatient public opinion and they should not act like other policy or operational entities which have different mandates and different sources and methods of information (as opposed to evidence) gathering. Always thought provoking podcasts! 🙏
