The International Criminal Court in the Hague, Netherlands, was established by European nations of the €U under the Rome Statute as the last court of international crime.

It is not completely recognised by the USA which resents its "inteference". It has opened investigations into Darfur- “The investigation will require sustained cooperation from national and international authorities. It will form part of a collective effort, complementing African Union and other initiatives to end the violence in Darfur and to promote justice. Traditional African mechanisms can be an important tool to complement these efforts and achieve local reconciliation.” ... read full story / add a comment

As the war drums of the Bush Administration drone into background noise, a growing number across the globe turn their eyes to the USA itself. The view becomes a prelude to the upcoming horror feature of this planets history - the Day America Turns on Herself! The Heartland of Liberty is being shaken to its very core by the growing disquiet in its People, and as the onlookers stand appalled, the very foundations of this planets concept of Liberty are eroded and turned to shifting sands of displaced freedom. As a planet, The People heard the lies told to cause War. As a Planet, The People heard the changing tales as justification to cause War. As a Planet, we stand helpless and watch the internal and deliberate destruction of the single heartplace of Liberty for all men, America. ... read full story / add a comment

It does opinion polls. In any society where the percentage of abstentionist votes is as pivotal to the security of centre parties who rule by little more wit than chasing economic indicators in the globalised free market post thatcher/reagan neo-liberal U$ project, Opinion Polls Count. Polling opinion pays. 1,594 completed interviews between 29/4/05 and 11/5/05. ... read full story / add a comment |
