Usually long links mess up the blog format...sorry in advance if that is the case this time. This article is about how the ICC will decide whether or not to commence its first trial. I will try to get some "inside comments" from a friend who is a clerk on the court.

The opportunity to prosecute Lubanga would be a triumph for the ICC, especially considering the wavering movements of Uganda's government. Citizens in the Uganda have been victims of genocide, and of forced child labor in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The LRA can be blamed for crimes in both regions, but Uganda has experienced a series of unsuccessful negotiations with LRA forces. Although the government asked the ICC to prosecute LRA members, it has since recalled any ICC intervention.
Although states like Turkmenistan have banned child labor, the interim government exhibits corrupt policies and deceptive compliance with international treaties/organizations. Political prisoners of the former dictator, Saparmurat Niyazov, have not been released and so persists his legacy of religious and minority persecution.
