THE WORLD COURT WILL BRING NO JUSTICE

The world court is at best ridiculous and at worst very dangerous. You can’t have a fair court unless you can have a consensus on good and bad behavior. The war in Iraq proved that the United Nations won’t even live up to their own resolutions. Why should we think the world can come together and agree on what is a crime and what isn’t a crime? It’s evident that the United States will always be on the losing side of these arguments. So why should we join something that is against our best interests?

And how can a world court have any moral standing if it doesn’t immediately prosecute the leaders of totalitarian countries like China? No, the World Court won’t ever stop real horrors in the world, but will instead go after people who broke no laws in their own country. Any country that supports such a court has begun the process in which their own laws are meaningless and their own votes pointless.

Republics and Democracies around the world will be weakened while the despotic regimes will be strengthened.
