OCAMPO , THE ICC AND THE INTERPOL
THE IDEA THAT OCAMPO AND THE ICC CAN ORDER THE INTERPOL TO DO ANYTHING WILL SET SOME DANGEROUS LEGAL PRECEDENTS.
THE INTERPOL SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE INDEPENDENT FROM THE ICC AND SHOULD ONLY OBEY REQUESTS FROM GOVERNMENTS .
OCAMPO IS PLAYING WITH FIRE BUT LITTLE DOES HE KNOW THAT HE HIMSELF MAY ONE DAY BECOME A VICTIM OF HIS OWN DEVICE ; MUCH LIKE THE GUY WHO INVENTED THE GUILLOTINE.
