The ICC has made a difference

The British army refused to go to war against Iraq until they were assured of the war's legality and that they wouldn't face trial for war crimes.

Of course, the British government redrafted their legal advice to remove any troubling questions, but it still marks a sea change in military thinking. Once upon a time, the military's obediance to the state was unquestioned, and the idea that law applied in wartime merely academic.

I guess the ICC has made a difference.
