Stating neutrality and independence not always enough --- Thanks Kylea. An example of this issue is the International Criminal Court, set up to act as a truly independent court. The nature of international crimes is that there will always be States whose interest is not in a neutral finding and they will find a way to stand aside from the findings of the prosecutor or the Court. The Ukraine debate interests me for many reasons, one of which is the relative absence of reference to the ICC, including by the USA which is not a party to the Rome Statute.
