DESCRIPTION:"Tools of the Weak: &nbsp\;The Prosecutor of the International 
 Criminal Court and the&nbsp\;UN Security Council."&nbsp\; Cora True-Frost\
 , &nbsp\;Assistant Professor of Law at the Syracuse University College of 
 Law. &nbsp\;Description:&nbsp\;The International Criminal Court (“ICC” or 
 “the Court”) is an independent institution. &nbsp\;It is mandated to prose
 cute “the most serious crimes of concern to the international community as
  a whole.” &nbsp\;Despite the Court’s formal autonomy\, however\, its foun
 ding treaty\, the Rome Statute\, permits the powerful and political UN Sec
 urity Council (“Council” or “UNSC”)\, inter alia\, to refer to the Court s
 ituations\, including those in non-State Parties\, and to defer the Court’
 s ongoing proceedings. The question of the Court’s ability to be effective
  is ripe as the ICC enters its fourteenth year of operations and continues
  to be beleaguered by criticism. &nbsp\;Supporters worry about its longevi
 ty and have curtailed their expectations of the Court’s potential. &nbsp\;
 In addition\, perceived bias\, to the extent that states’ protests are sin
 cere\, has damaged states parties’ understandings of the independence and 
 fairness of the Court—indeed\, Kenya and South Africa have openly consider
 ed withdrawing from the Rome Statute\, and in January 2016\, the African U
 nion recommended that its Open-Ended Committee of African Ministers on the
  ICC consider a roadmap on possible withdrawal from the ICC. &nbsp\;This t
 alk will explore one way the Prosecutor of the ICC might address effective
 ness and independence concerns: by declining future UN SC referrals\, as w
 ell as the tradeoffs involved in that course of action.Pizza will be serve
