It should be noted that the ICC only steps in when a nation's own justice system is deemed incapable of enforcing applicable laws. While cease fires and accords such as those reached in Congo are a step in the right direction toward bringing peace to troubled areas, they seldom are the final step in making them permanent. In the DRC especially, it is essential that leaders of criminal factions learn that their crimes will not go unpunished, particularly those that occur after such accords are signed. Then there is the question of enforcement, however. It is one thing to indict, but quite another to arrest, try, and punish. The ICC is only one cog in that wheel.
