By Chris StephenWhat does a court do when it has no cases to try? Shut down? Sell the furniture? Hire out robes and courtroom for weddings and bachelor parties? That was the problem facing the International Criminal Court. Its judges knew that when their existing cases wound up this summer, there were no more to come. Not because the ICC has no suspects. There are more than 30 at large, but none are being arrested. By this time next year, the jail would be empty, and the courtroom too.
