Finishing his coffee, he tells me that the ICC is helping to establish a new approach to international relations, in which states interact "on the basis of laws, not on the concept of friends and enemies. There are still criminals, but no enemies. That is the idea." Moreno-Ocampo is working to make the idea real...
