Its our military and our President.

Do you suggest we turn over all our rights to the UN? Including Justice?

I don't really know how to answer that....look why don't you read up on international law and the court and when you can offer somewhat of an intelligent conversation then get back to me..

sure it is.....is it not time for your bottle and your afternoon nap?

Whats wrong?
Cant debate like an adult??

yes but it takes another adult....and you said the same things yesterday...don't you have any new material?...

I hate this, but you are totally on point Dragon.
Time after time as Bush is caught lying, he comes up with a lame excuse and a convenient fall guy.
Taking control of our own justice system, ( top cop Gonzales)
made it all the easier.

Dont forget the all powerful Executive Privilege Defense!!

oh your two are making this way too easy....so go ahead and list those lies....

Bt why do we even debate this topic. Its over, Bush is ineffective and a new DA is about to take his place.

All the lies and wrongs this Admin has provided and executed without conscience, could not make me vote for Hillary or Obama.

And thats bad considering how much I hate the Bushies, and distrust all Republicans because of his actions.

ok...now that you got that off your chest.... how's the reading going on the International Court of Justice?

Dude there are far worse crimes comitted Internationaly than are listed on that list.
Besides, I'm an American, and a Veteran. What do I care what an International court has to say!!

I mean, REALLY???

Its kinda amusing at times, but really...

I would think it would be important to you what the International Court has to say since you are so perplexed to prove that Bush is a lier and the war is illegal...

How much access is an International court allowed concerning Government Documents that might be used as evidence in, or even to build a case against Bush?

None- I would hope!

And of course everytime the US courts try to view such documents Bush claims Executive Priviledge. Even with witness testimony!

what documents are you talking about?

no exceptions

international court, what is the main purpose, can someone tell me their main reason for being, what is their charter. and heres one, are they more lenient than the US laws? or more strict? just floating this out there but i would say less strict.

Like I said, its not worth pulling it all up again.
Soon Bush will be no-more. Until then he is really ineffective.
When hes gone what evidence they havent destroyed will be found. (like enough hasnt already)

I said I'll vote McCain. Dont expect me to lose all common sense though.
I believe in Coincidence, but not as much as Bush would have people to believe!

never mind I found the mandate


Why did countries decide to set up an International Criminal Court? How is it different from other courts?

In 1948, following the Nuremberg and Tokyo tribunals after the Second World War, the United Nations General Assembly first recognized the need for a permanent international court to deal with the kind of atrocities that had recently taken place. Since then, the need for such a court has been discussed off and on at the UN. The scope, scale and hateful nature of atrocities that have taken place during the last 20 years in many parts of the world gave impetus to creating a permanent mechanism to bring to justice the perpetrators of such crimes as genocide, ethnic cleansing, sexual slavery and maiming, including amputation of limbs of non-combatants, even women and children, and to finally put an end to the impunity so often enjoyed by those in positions of power.

In the aftermath of the events in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia, the United Nations Security Council responded by creating tribunals to bring individual perpetrators to justice. However, tribunals established after the fact are typically bound by mandates that are specific in time and place. To establish such a tribunal is a challenging, lengthy and expensive undertaking. A permanent court with a mandate to bring to justice individuals responsible for the world's most serious crimes, atrocities and mass murders will be more effective and efficient. It will be able to take action quickly, and possibly limit the extent or duration of violence; by nature of its very existence, it will provide a much stronger deterrent. Potential war criminals might reconsider carrying out their plans when they know that they may be held accountable - as an individual - even if they are a head of State. The International Criminal Court, established as an independent entity, will be able to act regarding crimes within its jurisdiction without a special mandate from the United Nations Security Council.
