Summary/Abstract |
The article discusses the importance of the International Criminal Court (ICC), a recently established intergovernmental organization to address the most heinous crimes. This organization is first evaluated with respect to its impact on the notion of national sovereignty, upon which the international system has long been based. Then the contribution of global civil society in the creation of the ICC is outlined in order to demonstrate that the global order is gradually departing from being state-centric. And finally, the US opposition to the ICC is briefly examined as that opposition is extremely relevant to the subject, given that the US is regarded as the sole superpower, which is supposed to have a determinative role in the conduct of global politics.

Summary/Abstract |
Urban planners can partially direct conflict, toward either resolution or escalation. The British-controlled Northern Ireland Executive (NIE) has enacted urban policies intended to be impartial and inoffensive to either community. But, in doing so, urban planning has surrendered potential in helping create urban conditions conducive to peace. This paper examines how NIE policy has impacted intergroup tensions in Belfast. The history of Belfast urban policy attitudes is explored, focusing on the period between 1972 and 1999, when London assumed direct control of urban governance. As the peace process in Northern Ireland has today reached a new crossroads, this study seeks to identify important issues of Belfast urban policymaking in need of revision.
