P.O.V: The Reckoning: The Battle for the International Criminal Court

The new International Criminal Court struggles to prosecute powerful perpetrators of crimes against humanity as it fights to establish its own credibility on the world stage. Sunday, July 19th at 8:30 p.m on the UA Channel. by Colleen Greer

More than 120 countries have united to form the International Criminal Court (ICC) — the first permanent court created to prosecute the perpetrators, no matter how powerful, of crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide.

“The Reckoning” follows dynamic ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo and his team for three years across four continents as he issues arrest warrants for Lord’s Resistance Army leaders in Uganda, puts Congolese warlords on trial, shakes up the Colombian justice system and charges Sudan’s President Omar al-Bashir with genocide in Darfur. “The Reckoning” is like a deft thriller: Will the prosecutor succeed? Will the world ensure that justice prevails? An Official Selection of the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. By Peter Kinoy and Pamela Yates.
