Israel isn't alone in this. Several African countries have been doing the same thing in recent years (Kenya being the most vocal I think). When Thomas Lubanga was convicted, the costs of the whole process were reported to be around $900 million. Surely there has to be a better way. That money probably could have gone a lot further to develop war torn countries and bring about peace by fighting poverty.
