Created by a treaty, the Rome Statute, opened for signature in 1998 and commencing operation after ratification by 60 state signatories in July 2002, the Court has as the subject matter of its jurisdiction the most horrible acts of violence that political conflict can produce: genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity. Rather than vesting the prosecutor with this proprio motu power, the United States wanted the Court to take up investigations on the basis of referrals from the United Nations Security Council and not otherwise (except for self-referrals, whereby a state party would ask the ice to investigate conduct that took place on its own territory, presumably owing to a lack of confidence in its ability to prosecute such cases effectively).

KW: Maybe that's how they do things in Chicago but that's not done here. I understand that's how they sometimes do things in the federal system. I think what he's talking about is that he wants to meet with me personally prior to our investigation being concluded. And I still think that's the wrong thing to do. I've never done it for any of the defendants since I've been here since 2004. I'm not going to start now. I think when you do an investigation it has to be impartial and fair and, frankly, I don't need the intercession of the defendant's lawyer to try to make our decision. I just think this is the fairest way to proceed as possible. If you do it the other way I think it just looks bad. And I think it has the taint of not being fair as well.
KW: You know, I really didn't think abo...

Custody is the legal authority to control a child. The power to make important decisions about a child is generally referred to as "legal" custody. The power to maintain physical, day-to-day control over a child is generally referred to as "physical" custody. The custodial parent is the parent with physical custody of a child. The other parent is the non-custodial parent. Both parts of custody - legal and physical - can be sole or joint. Each state has a statutory standard to be used by the courts in deciding custody disputes. All 50 states have enacted the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act which is intended to avoid conflict between courts of different states in cases where parents have moved children from one state to another. In such cases, the Uniform Act provides that the pr...
