International Criminal Court

[bezdomni]

I was wondering what the general RevLeft opinion is on the International Criminal Court.

Self-explanatory, really.

Mostly intended for use against troublesome "third world" losers.

Imperialist soldiers and government officials are naturally exempt.

What else would you expect? :angry:

its just another way bush can get involved in foreign affairs

I don't think it will work.

Do they got to make a new international law too?
International penalty's and stuff?

If it were an International court run by workers and the poor then it would be worth a damn but since it is run by corrupt governments it is meaningless.

What about in the context if Bush actually found evidence against Bin Laden and went to the international court, instead of invaiding Afghanistan, would you have supported that?

[Atlas Swallowed]

As much as I would elves doing my work as I sleep :) About the same chance.

Actually, Bush has not signed on to the court because he fears US citizens may be targeted for war crimes in Iraq and Afganistan.
