Should the United States be a signatory to the International Court? Mrs Clinton says yes?

Mrs Clinton says yes. Please do not tear your hair out if you are not a little frog, there is a rough English gloss in the discussions section which I am writing before I go outside, adjust my carubettor and chuck a bucket of water over my patio furniture, PTO:http://www.lemonde.fr/organisations-internationales/article/2009/08/06/hillary-clinton-regrette-que-les-etats-unis-ne-fassent-pas-partie-de-la-cpi_1226351_3220.html Asked by spikejones 29 months ago Similar questions: United States signatory International Court Mrs Clinton Politics & Law > Politics.

The only reason would be to permit some folks to arrest George Walker Bush for "crimes. " Which is why he has a ranch down in Paraguay, one of the few countries not signed on to the world court. So big deal, it wouldn't go where folks think it would anyway.

I think we should stay out of it like we stayed out of the Kyoto Protocols. The world is constantly coming up with silly malarkey to get all united about and I'm glad the U.S. is one of the few who stands apart and refused to join their silliness. Of course, now that we're in hock to China for $1,000,000,000,000+, that likely will change.

Ah well, it isn't my country anyway. I switched allegiances a while ago. "And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army" (Revelation 19:19).

The implication there is that every nation is part of that massed army, which would include the U.S. The implication is that we end up going along with everyone else's program eventually. I guess it matters not when we start conforming, does it? .

1 no. We are a sovereign nation, or are supposed to be.

2 It is no surprise that Mrs Clinton says yes. She is a global socialist and positioning the US to be subservient to an international body is a part of her agenda. I totally agree with what tuppence says.

We are a sovereign nation and owe no allegiance to an international court, or any other international body for that matter.

Madame Clinton, who on Tuesday began her first African visit since entering her current post six months ago said this... in connection with the Arrest Warrant issued by the International Court against the Sudanese President, Omar el-Bechir.(Zoom to China, the great rival of the US in Africa)She is equally pleased with the Court's handling of those who used violence, after the Kenyan elections in 2008.

The USA has never ratified the International Court Treaty, established in Rome in 1998. The Court is based in La Haye. This is without prescedent as the George W Bush administration was firmly against it after the Court began its work in 2002.

Mme Clinton said "The fact that we are not yet signatories is a sad thing" during a public gathering at a university in Nairobi. "However, we support the work of the court and we (the USA) will continue to do so under the Obama administration. "According to high-level American sources, the new Obama administration is reexamining the US's position towards the International Court.

Many influential members of Congress -with military connections- strongly oppose the International Courts as its (war crimes) legislation may be used against US troops. However, more than a hundred countries -the majority of Western Democracies- are signatories to the International Court Treaty of Rome.

How did the xyz affair affect politics in the united states.

Name the highest court in the United States.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
