I can't say that I see 'Having to be charged with a crime within 9 (Or was it 12?) months of being detained' to be a very useful special loophole, there.
The bolded part in what you quoted places the burden of proof of innocence on the accused, rather than the accuser. You talked a lot about men being judged by their peers in the discussions revolving around the ICC, but oddly enough, your solution to the same caliber of issue at home, is 'Well, the guy's family should do a letter-writing campaign to free him.'
I wonder, does the bill specify where persons in question can be held, while detained? Syrian torture chambers, perhaps?
