Snippet:
THE latest International Criminal Court (ICC) spectacle in the Philippines is being marketed, predictably, as a grand morality play about accountability, justice and the rule of law. But scratch the surface, it’s actually a new franchise of the “Hunger Games” among political elites played in the domestic political theater dressed in international legal costume.
