You and hobbes can have a storytelling party.
His av and sig change regularly also...

I believe we could benefit from inclusion here of some replication of the relevant military boiler-plate; I wouldn't even know how to effectively research this, though....

It may also be a case of flexible response, which military doctrine may extend conditionally to matters of detention during outright war or police-type actions.

But mine are going to be a theme from now on.
This weeks theme, The Wall.
With Darkside making an appearance in all of them.
It's stealing the show I fear since I put Dorothy On there.
I found that pic and couldn't resist.
God I love that movie!

Edit
you posted before I could read J2.
Yup... they are definitely using some "flexibility"
I'm certain there are abuses but this is tiddlely winks.
AI should be concentrating on some hardcore human rights abuses and there are many happening "right now"
Van Halen's song put it quite well.
Hey.........I love Van Halen...gonna have to experiment with some of that artwork!
Maybe I'll have to make a "Right Now "theme

I fear I mis-spoke earlier; I think I meant "World Criminal Court"(?); Kofi Annan&#39;s baby? Are we talking about the same thing?

Its the same thing. see:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/112664.stm
and
http://www.un.org/law/icc/

officially, its called the rome statute of the international criminal court. the war crime prosecutions of rwanda and yugoslavia were done by tribunals, a temporary creature.

Could you expand on your "futility" statement? Do you mean in the sense that the U.S. wouldn&#39;t cooperate/comply?

partially non-participation of US in ICC, but more to the point the war.

Ah-

Thank you for the clarification. [/b][/quote]

Signatories and Ratification State

I note with interest that one country that isnt even a signatory to the original court has accepted it in full.


There are a number of countries that refuse to accept the world court though, some of them actually signatories of the original treaty.....

Lets see if these Countries have anything in common re: Human Rights

Israel
United Arab Emerates
Zimbabwe
Phillipines
Chile.....

well the list goes on......in general they all seem to have one thing in common....


Except, hang on........The USA refuses to ratify too?

...my what nice company your keeping these days

:-"

EDITED to add a direct link to signatories page
