I also wish to join in welcoming Mrs. Bensouda. We are honoured to have such a distinguished visitor in our midst. I am sorry that I will have to leave for the Seanad vote. I presume until such time as Mrs. Bensouda can get all states throughout the world to become members of the ICC, she will not be really effective. Deputy Smith alluded to the situation in Syria. Until such time as the UN Security Council refers the Syrian situation to the ICC, Mrs. Bensouda obviously cannot do anything about it.
