I met with Dr C today regarding my question for the policy paper. I'm working on a proposal that would address a question to an audience assumed to be The International Criminal Court. After completing a career of 30 years enforcing laws I found it intreging that there really is no enforcement body for the ICC. I heard a lot of reasons why and a lot of reasons why not, but bottom line is there is no enforcement body for the court. I know many say the court itself is the enforcement tool of International law, but I never saw a judge or magistrate leave their bench to go out and place hands on a criminal to bring them to judgement. I don't think we will ever see that.
What I am going to look at, as a policy recommendation, are the following basic questions:
Who enfocrces International Law for the ICC?
What is the enforcement power?
Where are they and where are they allowed to go?
When are they used?
Why are the enforcement powers so mysterious?
I am going to be putting together an executive summary and we will see how it flys.

For the policy brief: begin by formulating your topic in the form of a problem statement, rather than a recommendation or a set of "why" questions. What's the problem? What are some possible solutions? What criteria will you use to analyze the solutions? From this analysis you'll arrive at a recommendation.
