Several countries call for ICC to prosecute the officer in charge of the biological weapons storage area arguing that the inaction was a crime against humanity that could have lead to a much greater problem had not the Security council acted quickly. There is talk that this is a potential environmental crime and that the ICC should talk up the cast against the President of this country to prevent a major crime against humanity. The matter is referred to the UN Security Council. Country X says it has a law under which the officer can be tried in their country. The Council agrees that X can handle the matter internally.
Time passes without action.
At the six month period specified by the Rome Statue, the ICC is reassured that X will indeed act on the case. Addition time is given and eventually the case is prosecuted, but other countries conclude the result was inadequate and bring the matter to the UN Security Council. Country X threatens to block any action with its veto power. Non-permanent members of the Council say the same rules for the ICC's relationship to the Security Council should apply equally to all countries. All rights reserved.
