@als5790 3 месяца назад

@@georgeabreu6392sometimes I think this relates more to a superiority complex tbh. I have a masters in international law and think there were good intentions for it in the beginning considering the context of the time. It is also very clear as it excels at writing itself down. Unfortunately few are familiar with the technicalities of it so accept lies they are told about it. The fact it is legally unenforceable means it is generally useless and the purpose it has means the result of that is generally horrific. So I don’t think it’s adults as such but those in power positions politically in those countries because What adds salt to the wound is that it’s used as a weapon in that way to judge those breaking it while not being limited by it and lying to the community when you do with them accepting what they’re told by ppl who should understand the law

You then say I don't recognize that nor you (despite having signed off on it), then the police officer must walk away because they have no enforcement power . That's international law.

@boldandbrash8431 So 2 signatories (Russia and the US) are unsc p5 signatories but have later rejected. Another-CHINA- is a signatory and nominally accepts but is critical (that's the third p5 UNSC). Though they have no accepted rulings of the other UN body to which they are a signatory (regarding the south China seas and international waters, pulling a trump ["its rigged, fake news"]). Four signatory states-Israel in 2002, the United States on 6 May 2002, Sudan on 26 August 2008, and Russia on 30 November 2016-have informed the UN Secretary General that they no longer intend to become states parties and, as such, have no legal obligations arising from their signature of the Statute. Forty-one additional states have neither signed nor acceded to the Rome Statute. Some of them, including China and India, are critical of the Court. Ukraine, a non-ratifying signatory, has accepted the Court's jurisdiction for a period starting in 2013.

Law is pointless if nobody can enforce it, and the most egregious criminals are immune. I like the idea of an international criminal court in theory, but the way it is in practice is useless, at best.

@trebloc002 3 месяца назад

That is the problem with international laws they only apply to the countries that sign and ratify them and only for as long as they choose to be a part of the treaties. the ICC would work if all countries were signatories but with the us and Israel not being signatories they have no way to enforce anything on them.

The ICC is trying with regard to the US in Afghanistan.

The thing is, they’re fucking crazy. They don’t support Israel because they love Jews and hate Palestinians. They support Israel because they believe that judgement day will be soon and all the “infidels” will be smited by god, so to them it doesn’t even matter. They just want the “infidels” to take themselves out. Also, I’ve seen a lot of people arguing by that Arabs are invaders, and while that may have been true initially, they skip over the fact that the vast majority of arabs aren’t even of pure Arab ancestry- if anything, Palestinians today are closer genetically to the Assyrians than peninsular Arabs.

Notice the role of the commonly-Abrahamic doctrine of "chosenness" among Euro-Christian colonists and Jewish-Israeli colonists, saying that a very specific religious and/or ethnic group has been "saved" and/or "chosen" by God and therefore has the right to enact God's will - which a significant percentage of believers have interpreted as justifying genocide (e.g. manifest destiny and the genocide of indigenous Americans) like the genocide ordered by God to be performed by the Israelites in Deuteronomy 20. That is very different from, for example, the concept of karma in dharmic religions as a slow-moving arc of justice that spans over lifetimes as a theoretical law of nature ("you reap what you sow"), and very different from indigenous religions which often tend to be less concerned with prophetic theories of salvation and more concerned with helping people to maintain healthy relationships with the land and the gods and their ancestors and other people(s).

The West’s immunity to international law. The so-called “Rules Based Order” means that the United States (US), and its allies are immune to their own nation’s constitution and international law. Western empires colonized nations all around the world. They, therefore, arrogantly believe that international law applies only to all other nations, but not to themselves. The artificial colonial settler state of Israel is today committing genocide against the indigenous people of Palestine, with the unconditional support of the US. They still have not yet answered to either the International Criminal Court, or the International Court of Justice. Both of these courts, unsurprisingly, are located in the Dutch Empire. Do you know that the Dutch was the last empire to abolish formal slavery in its colony of Bonaire? The US has had Puerto Rico as its colony for the past 126 years. The US has consistently ignored 42 United Nations’ resolutions demanding that it immediately return Puerto Rico sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans. The US and its allies can’t be democracies, if they have immunity to their own constitutions and international law. They are, therefore, outlaws, and incapable of governing for 100% of their citizens. In the case of the US, while 9 of the 10 richest men in the world are Americans, 38 million US citizens live in poverty, and 60% live from paycheck to paycheck. Immunity to international law means also immunity to democracy.

this is division is not accurate... Its not about west, east, south or anything like that. It is about POWER! International law applies to small countries, countries that are not great powers, countries that dont have many allies among collectively powerful. If some european nation committed same atrocities that Israel is doing, It would apply to it. Israel is exception due to corruption in the US (AIPAC lobbying for decades) making Israel key "ally" for the US.

There's a common logic that we have a 2 tiered justice system. That's not true though. We have like a 4 tiered justice system: there's the system that convicts you and me, the system that convicts OJ, the system that convicts Don John Da Jackass, and the system that weakly asks Netanyahu to stop being mean. Nothing means anything until there's 1 justice system, with accountability for judges and lawyers at every level for impropriety, and equal access to skilled defense for every defendant. Publicly funded defense and prosecution (no private option) and full transparency through the evidenciary process. Any cop that can turn off or remove a body cam is not a reliable source. No "for profit" motive can be allowed because this allows corruption and unequal representation for wealthy participants. If you can buy justice it's not just.
