Law in Action - 16/03/2010

The International Criminal Court has been criticised for lacking teeth, dealing with too few cases and concentrating too much on Africa. Clive Coleman speaks to the Court's president and others to consider those claims. The government has finally reacted to widespread criticism of the Dangerous Dogs Act with a consultation.

Interviewees include President Sang-Hyun Song, Philippe Sands and Tod Lindberg.
