My view seems to differ a bit from the previous comments. I think the UN Security Council should be heavily involved in referring cases to the ICC. My main reason for this view is that the logistical and financial support would be invaluable. The more information available and the greater cooperation going on, the better the result will be in terms of the efficacy of the court. The main problem with this is the current structure of the UN Security Council. That is why I would strongly advocate radical restructuring of the UN Security Council makeup, especially in regard to the permanent members. A more democratic and representative UN Security Council would solve many of the qualms other commenters have expressed regarding the politicization that would result from UNSC involvement. The UNSC should make the ICC a priority. It should contribute funding and rigorously pursue referrals that are recommended by UN member nations. Even those UN member nations that have not signed the ICC founding treaty still commit themselves to the project of international justice and they can still be protected themselves from facing court while still providing substantial backing to other efforts to take down awful leaders.
