Economic sanctions are when trading with a certain country is restricted or results in penalties. “Commonwealth of Nation overcomes UK objections, adopts sanctions package similar to that adopted by US, EC. Commonwealth package also includes ban on government loans to South African government, threatens increased sanctions if progress on dismantling apartheid is not made within six months.” (Document H: Page 35). This quote describes the steps taken by countries to prevent apartheid from continuing in South Africa. By not trading with South Africa, they are making sure South Africa gets less money which will encourage them to end apartheid so that they can continue making money. Another example of external pressure that contributed to the fall of apartheid are sports. “Sport has long been an important part of life in South Africa, and the boycotting of games by international teams had a profound effect on the white population, perhaps more so than the trade embargoes did.” (External: Stations Document).

With the power to prosecute severe wrongdoers ranging from genocide to crimes against humanity, the institution was designed to be the court of last resort for those extreme delinquents. The ICC was formed in 2002 and currently has 122 members. Out of these members, 30 of them have not ratified the agreement meaning they do not have to abide by the procedures given out by the court (Schabas, 2004, pp.13-16). For instance they do not have to expedite a criminal that is wanted by the court. Thus, many criminals have been indicted into the ICC but have not been brought forward making the process very extensive consequently many of the ICC trials are still ongoing. Since the decisions made and the processes that it entails take a significant amount of time, the procedure can take many years to complete and declare a sentence. When using punishment as a deterrent for crime, there are three characteristics to consider, which include swiftness, certainty, and severity. The only characteristic that the ICC guarantees is severity based upon the brutality of the committed crime. With the process being lengthy, and the lack of certainty that the criminals are faced with, the effectiveness and efficiency of the ICC can be questioned. The conception of the court demonstrates unity and togetherness across the globe and at surface level establishes a sense of security for the majority of individuals (Schabas, 2004, pp.24-25).However, many nations that have severe difficulties and the most atrocious violations of human rights around the world have not ratified the treaty, making the court inoperable.
