You appear to be confusing the ICC and the ICJ. The ICC is under no
obligation to disclose anything, particularly anything that would be
likely to prejudice future investigations.

And what is your source for such a belief ?

The belief that the ICC can do whatever it pleases within the law? That's
just how the world works. The ICC isn't a governmental or judicial
body. Nobody compels anyone to give money to the ICC. If the ICC has
breached the terms of any contract with anyone, that person has the right
to sue; otherwise, tough. Deal.


It`s not about beliefs that nice women can`t really play chess well or
only ugly women play chess well because such statements are both false.

When I wrote, `I wonder how much of the problem is that people have a
great deal of difficulty believing that a beautiful woman might be capable
of anything other than being beautiful,' I was wondering about why rumours
were supposedly circulating around the ICC that Kosteniuk had been accused
of cheating. Nobody has said here that she actually has been accused
though, if the ICC has accused her of cheating, it seems unlikely to be
because they don't think a beautiful woman should be able to play chess
well.
