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.

northrn yanke.......

I copied/pasted part of your initial post, which started this thread,

"There are some in here that perpetrate the lie that the war in Iraq is illegal. Even though it's been proven they are lying they still lie about it....it's not illegal until there is a ruling from the court of jurisdiction that is is illegal

Here is the listing of all cases since 2000 in the International Court of Justice which is the only court with jurisdiction over the matter....."

I am really disappointed in you for throwing facts that are backed up. What's wrong with you? Liberals cannot handle truth.

I note the only responses you have received from these Liberal Left-wingers are the personal attacks calling you a liar, along with the usual Bush-bashing and anti-American posts. I am surprised the Liberals haven't thrown in the anti-military rhetoric.

Many thanks to the people who are the opposite of those referred to above and respect our country and our president.

here's what the court deals with and what they do..

" The International Court of Justice acts as a world court. The Court has a dual jurisdiction : it decides, in accordance with international law, disputes of a legal nature that are submitted to it by States (jurisdiction in contentious cases); and it gives advisory opinions on legal questions at the request of the organs of the United Nations or specialized agencies authorized to make such a request (advisory jurisdiction)."

as an example with Columbia and Venezuela, Uribe said his government would ask the International Criminal Court to try Chavez for "genocide" for allegedly financing the FARC, the country's main rebel group. He cited a reference to a $300 million Venezuelan payment in documents found in a laptop the Colombians said belonged to Reyes.

The court takes on cases that are submitted to it by countries. In the Iraq situation Iraq would have taken their complaints the World Court to have the US tried for engaging in an illegal war if they thought it was an illegal war...or they could bring a case the World Court against the US if the US was staying in Iraq against Iraq's wishes...

So kind of based on this premis then, I ask you this.

Has someone with the counry of Iraq, who I would say we can all agree are more a vested interest than any other in the world, Has anybody from their country went to the "world court" and said, could you please prosecute them for an "Illegal"war?

I dont think ive ever heard anywhere that an iraqihas said anything like that......... isnt it peculiar that in a time when everyone is screaming so loud that they cant seem to see straight, that the most deafening noise of all, in this matter, is the silence from those who would no best- the iraqis.

peace to all the tree huggers out there.
