The cab-rank rule is critical to the rule of law (some strongly held *beliefs* notwithstanding)… you have long experience of covering threats to it - what do you think about Trumps behaviour towards the ICC (given that US are not signed up) & can the ICC withstand this form of pressure?
Thanks for covering this development 👏🏻
Thank you. I thought it was worth reporting.

Just saw that. Very interesting if it happens.
Last Word [https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0029zg7?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile] covered the barrister who became NI Chief Prosecutor… Ronnie Appleton - he wouldn’t prosecute a death penalty case but did defended it. Well worth a listen.
