The International Criminal Court's Ruling is a Hope for Humanity's Quest for Justice (original) (raw)

The Purpose of the ICC Ruling on the Victims and their Families The ultimate aim is to seek justice. For the culprits and the perpetrators to bear responsibility for their horrible wrong acts, to remember the countless dead and the thousands of the brutally murdered victims, to vow that this gruesome event will never recur and to forge a sense of closure perhaps, both personal and historical especially to their grieving families. They have to pay. In the impassioned words of the French socialist writer, Emile Zola: I have but one passion: to enlighten those who have been kept in the dark, in the name of humanity which has suffered so much and is entitled to happiness. My fiery protest is simply the cry of my very soul.
