The ICC pops up in the four 2012 scenarios in this recent paper.

Hello Rob,

I’ve enjoyed reading through your work. I was interested in getting in touch with you for a segment I am working on for an American public radio show called In The Loop. Would you be available for a short talk via phone at some point in the next few days? Please let me know when you get the chance.

Thanks. Take care!

Kenya ist daran interessiert, dass es an seiner Grenze zum Sudan nicht wieder zum Bürgerkrieg kommt, deshalb unterstützt es die Aufrüstung im Südsudan (ob das politisch klug ist, sei dahingestellt) und tritt offiziell als Empfänger der Militärgüter in Erscheinung. Wobei es nun für alle Beteiligten mehr als peinlich ist, dass das dritte Schiff mit schweren Waffen von Piraten gekapert wurde und die geheime Nachbarschaftshilfe sich zu einer peinlichen Panzer-Affäre entwickelt.
