| Abstract: | In 1989 Trinidad and Tobago proposed the creation of an International Criminal Court (ICC) to the General Assembly of the United Nations to aid in the fight against narcotics trafficking. This proposal revived the UN's work in connection with the establishment of an International Criminal Court. Previously, two special committees of the General Assembly had painstakingly developed in 1951 and 1953 draft statutes for a permanent International Criminal Court, but it had been tabled as a result of the "Cold War". The only other UN initiative was in 1980 when a draft statute for the establishment of an international criminal jurisdiction to enforce the Apartheid Convention was proposed, but it too was left without follow-up.
