That is an interesting question. I'm inclined to say that it'd easily pass the required burden of proof threshold for a civil case ("more likely than not"), but wouldn't pass that which is required for a criminal case ("beyond a reasonable doubt"). A less interesting but more pertinent question is why, or how, legal preoccupations at a substate level would or should model how nations evaluate and mediate disputes? The answer to which, in my opinion is: not at all. Not that I support the U.N., of course, but that is the context within which we're working at the present time. LPS5
