So the UN court proves it knows nothing about law · 1:37pm Oct 4th, 2018
The UN's idiotic International Court has ruled that the US must relax sanctions on Iran due to a 1955 treaty...
Now, take a moment to think about the history of Iran... now consider why this ruling is utterly preposterous.
The treaty in 1955 was made with the Iranian government WHICH WAS OVERTHROWN IN 1979!! A treaty made with a government that no longer exists IS NO LONGER BINDING!! This would like Stalin demanding Britain honor treaties made with Czar Nicholas!
Not to mention, even if we decide the treaty is still binding for random reasons, Iran's revolutionary government has already violated the treaty multiple times via proven sponsoring of terrorists acts against the United State, MEANING THE TREATY IS VOID NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT IT!!
It's time to just up and leave the UN. It serves no purpose, other than to advance a globalist agenda pushed by the hyper-elite (who always think they'll end up in charge of these things... despite the history of socialist uprisings tending to turn on their kind first and foremost... they're not smart people, just sociopathic and ruthless.)
This is one more reason I don't believe any form of government can function on any scale higher then local.
To be fair, Stalin is a poor example. He would totally do that. I suppose the question is, is the treaty with the government, or with the country? I mean, either way, I agree with your overall point. I suppose the US should just counter-sue for those other treaty breaches.
Was UN ever useful? Reminds me of League of Nations which was supposed to stop the bloodshed after WWI. We all know how it ended, but it didn't stop people from trying.
4948033 That's rather my point. Stalin was awful as hell, but even he didn't try anything this absurd. He had enough common sense to know the rest of the world would give him the finger.
I didn't use the example of Hitler, since his was an example of a dictatorship that arose by legal (if dubiously so) means within an existing governmental framework. He actually DID demand that the rest of Europe abide by treaties... and subsequently broke them at will.
Which, as another poster has noted, was evidence of how useless the League of Nations was; and is what the UN has effectively become.
4948003 Thomas Jefferson: "Government is, at best, a necessary evil; at worst, an intolerable one."
The Founders agreed. That's why they initially made a federal government that was very weak and gave most formal authority to the states.
The formation of the IRS/income tax and the central bank was the beginning of the rise of federal power to its current incredibly corrupt levels.

It makes law so much simpler when YOUR WORD IS LAW!!
