[edit] Lebanon

Should Lebanon be included here? I say yes. This article includes a brief mention of all potential cases where these have been mentioned by prominent media outlets as posible prosecutions. There are plenty of examples - cited in the article - of prominent politicians who have called on the ICC to prosecute over Lebanon. AndrewRT - Talk 20:15, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Lebanon is not a signator of the ICC (nor is Israel). The title of the article is "Cases before the International Criminal Court". It is wishful thinking, and misleading, to put Lebanon or Israel in this article. If the article were "Cases some people wish were before the ICC", then it would be appropriate. I removed the Lebanon section after only a quick review. Perhaps I need to look more closely... BTW, Amnesty International today released a report accusing Hezbollah of war crimes. If you're going to push for Lebanon's inclusion, I hope mention is made of that, though for the same reasons I have stated, I don't think that either is appropriate for this particular article.

Since the section has been added back in, I went ahead and added the AI blurb at the end. Also made a very minor POV/undue weight adjustment. But like I said, the entire section should not be here. Crockspot 21:07, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
