Germany Wants ICC to Examine Syria Chemical Attack
[An Nahar] German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle on Thursday said that the International Criminal Court
... where Milosevich died of old age before being convicted ...
should examine the use of chemical weapons in Syria.

"We have launched this initiative already in January," he said. "The situation has worsened sufficiently for another initiative."
"Naturally, use of chemical weapons is absolutely unacceptable," said the foreign minister.
"We will also discuss this with my European colleagues in Vilnius" at the meeting of European foreign ministers on Friday and Saturday, he added.
