"The way to have good and safe government, is not to trust it all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to every one exactly the function he is competent to." --Thomas Jefferson to Joseph C. Cabell, 1816. "I do verily believe that..a single, consolidated government would become the most corrupt government on the earth." --Thomas Jefferson to Gideon Granger, 1800. "What has destroyed liberty and the rights of man in every government which has ever existed under the sun? The generalizing and concentrating all cares and powers into one body, no matter whether of the autocrats of Russia or France, or of the aristocrats of a Venetian Senate." --Thomas Jefferson to Joseph C. Cabell, 1816. New Global Criminal Court Becomes Reality story.news.yahoo.com Red Meat for Unilateralists washingtonpost.com The Clinton administration fudged the issue by signing the treaty on the last possible day in 2000 while announcing that it would not submit it to the Senate for ratification. For the Bush administration and Republicans in Congress, that's not enough: The White House seems to be preparing to nullify the U.S. signature to the treaty, and both the administration and Congress are considering still more aggressive action to disrupt the court and its operations. International court signals a new era iht.com The European Union firmly believes that the court will be an essential means of promoting respect for international humanitarian law and thereby contributing to freedom, justice and the rule of law. The court will also contribute to the preservation of peace and the strengthening of international security, in accordance with the purposes and principles of the United Nations ................................................................. The court is meant to be a universal institution. It will need the support and the active participation of as many states as possible. A global age demands that we make full use of those global institutions available to promote respect of international humanitarian law.

Secretary General Kofi Annan said in Rome, where the 1998 treaty was negotiated after the bloody ethnic conflicts in the Balkans and the genocide in Rwanda. "Impunity has been dealt a decisive blow." .......................................................................................... congressional opposition, and the Bush administration is considering nullifying the U.S. signature. The United States' boycott of the treaty has put it at odds with some of its closest allies, including Britain, France, Canada and Germany. A broad coalition of human rights and legal organizations criticized the Bush administration for opposing the court. "The International Criminal Court is potentially the most important human rights institution created in 50 years," said Richard Dicker, an expert on the court at Human Rights Watch. "It will be the court where Saddam Husseins, Pol Pots and Augusto Pinochets of the future are held to account."
