Do you believe in international justice ?

Answer 1

I have no faith in it whatsoever!

Answer 2

I believe in it very strongly. Are you familiar with the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights? It's was wonderful goal for all nations to work towards, but it's unrealistic today. Equality for women? I agree with the U.N. completely, but Saudi Arabia would never accept it. The elimination of worldwide poverty is necessary to achieve the goals of international justice. How concerned can people be with genocide in Africa when they worry if they will have food for their children tomorrow. International Justice can work--on the big scale--as shown by events as old as the Nuremberg trials, but cannot work on individual freedoms until we reduce poverty.

Answer 3

I think it is a nice concept. unfortunaly, politians and governments have to egos that are larger than world. And the ones that don't are corrupt and their own agendas. Very rarely will you see the international community persue anything in the name of justice and because it is right. Think about, every time the internal community has done anything that they publicly advertised as justice, there was something else that made them do it.

Answer 4

In an ideal world, countries should be held accountable for their actions. However, realistically, international justice could not work because sovereign nations would have to accept that they are subject to an judicial authority outside their direct control and would have to abide by the rulings of that outside authority.

Answer 5

Of course.
