The Independence of the Prosecutor
The establishment of the International Criminal Court was a singular, even revolutionary, achievement. Uniquely within the realm of international criminal justice, the ICC Prosecutor can initiate investigations independently of any state’s wishes. Why would sovereign states agree to such sweeping powers? The Independence of the Prosecutor draws on interviews with key participants to answer that question. Case studies of Canada and the United Kingdom, which supported prosecutorial independence, and the United States and Japan, which opposed it, demonstrate that state positions depended on the values and principles of those who wielded the most power in national capitals at the time. Appendices provide a record of the arguments made by state delegations in the negotiations that produced the institutional design of the Court. This astute investigation demonstrates that now, over twenty years after its establishment, the ICC’s innovative arrangement of having an independent prosecutor continues to move law and international criminal jurisprudence forward and directly combats impunity for mass atrocities.
The 'G' Factor
The "G" Factor was never spelled out in so many words. This was a code name, whose significance was known only to my employer and me, for the expected reward discreetly given to a "facilitator" who brokered the sale of aircraft for their respective governments, agencies, companies or clients. I never showed in the bills of sale and was, therefore, untraceable to the recipients, and it was buried in the legalese of our contracts to balance our own books. In other words, the "G" Factor was more often than not the critical success factor of any major negotiation, but it depended on instinct to know when, how, how much and to whom it should or should not be offered. A wrong guess could blow a major deal. Like another George of historical renown who said "I cannot tell a lie!", neither can I, so the tales I am about to tell about the world of intrigue I have experienced and how the mighty rise and fall are absolutely true. They are my moments in time based on a lifetime of memories.
