Doctrines of impunity: John Bolton and the ICC : Comments

By Binoy Kampmark, published 14/9/2018

In 2000, Bolton contemplated the issue of whether there was such a thing as 'law' in the matter of international affairs.

John Bolton and, presumably, anyone who thinks international 'law’ is crap, are 'furious’ are they? Many, many people agree with Bolton. International 'law’ is just another assault on national sovereignty. It's rubbish anyway. Some international body deemed that China's take over of the South China Sea and it's construction of artificial islands was 'illegal’, but China took no notice at all, and the threat remains.

The only countries that take notice of international bullying are the gutless ones like Australia, whose politicians think more of outsiders than they do of Australians.

"Bolton's idea of impunity outside the US constitution. " The Constitution has been the epitome of US leadership and impelled democracy by the barrel of a gun , as in the Civil War against Southern democracy. Democracy is not a US strong-point when it comes from inside the US .The Communist Control Act signed into law by Eisenhower in 1954 is still in force to remove citizenship from those with the wrong opinions. Outside the US , Criminal Court democracy is not in favour if foreigners ( Muslims , Socialists, Australians ) have a hand in it . The Australian communist legislation was blocked and Parliament doesn't even have Greek Pillars in marble.
