Intl court on IS crimes 'pertinent' but 'not realistic' - expert The idea of creating an international criminal court to judge the crimes of the Islamic State group is "pertinent" but "not realistic", according to Joël Hubrecht, director of the International Justice Programme at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies in Paris. The calls were made by Syrian Kurds who spearheaded the battle that finished off the IS "caliphate", but Hubrecht believes jihadists should be returned and tried in France. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
