don't keep on complaining, but work your way up to the top position and see for yourself if you still can maintain your integrity or join the others to be corrupted
Over 75% of the countries in the UN have acknowledged the State of Palestine as a country. The US's veto alone has stopped the State of Palestine from being approved as a full member state of the UN. If a US president vetoes a law passed by Congress, a 2/3's vote - 66% - of both Houses of Congress is enough to override their veto. Seems there should be more than enough votes to override Israel's ... I mean the US governments... veto in the UN. The US government has turned into Israel's lapdog. The majority of them seem to be racist enough that they are more than willing to support the Zionists - Jewish Supremacists. Racism has no place in America ... especially in the US Government. - United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3379, adopted on 10 November 1975, "Determines that Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination"
There should be right? But those big five wouldn't allowed it, I think. I mean, the decision is their's to make. Anything that would put their dominance in jeopardy will vetoed out in seconds.
there is a way - calling an Emergency Special Session of the General Assembly, which overrides the Security Council, where if a majority of all nations vote on something it gets implemented. It has happened about a dozen times in the past and resulted in many concrete steps including the formation of the UN Police Force (peacekeepers), the UN Command, and direct peacekeeping force action in the Suez crisis of '56, economic & diplomatic sanctions on South Africa in '81. Currently, the ESS on Palestine-Israel and Ukraine-Russia are active but nothing concrete has been proposed yet even though the UNGA is well within its rights to send in a UN peacekeeping force to ensure ceasefire compliance in Palestine/Ukraine.
Isn't there a saying that goes, 'Justice delayed is justice denied'? Given that it can take an indeterminate number of years for a court to render a sentence or order, can we truly consider these courts as entities of justice? 🤔
The system is inherently flawed when it is made to have a few coutries that are above the law. And then these few countries are responsible for the majority of international law violations, but go unpunished...
They said about the veto, which is used by countries. But in this case there was direct threat to the members of ICC by US of personal sanctions. Unfortunately they didn't say anything about that.
Abba Eban (former Israeli foreign minister and and the first Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nation) once said that: “International law is the law which the wicked do not obey and the righteous do not enforce” This is the international law.
It is an attempt for a change. An attempt that is failing at this point because the world's largest governments don't want to abide by it, won't enforce it, ... and they all have veto power at the UN.
The era of application the international law only for African, Asian, Latin American has ended now. Europe, west defacto, and their allies enjoy exemption over the ages. It couldn’t be run as it is now.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for this. So very interesting and I certainly understand how the mechanics of international law work more than I did before I watched this.
A lot of resource persons you've interviewed that international law has been critical in the persecution of criminals, especially for persecuting Nazis since WW2. But even then, the Japanese on the other side of the globe got away with it. Some were persecuted in the Tokyo Trials, but most were granted amnseties. Their minister of commerce and munitions even became Prime Minister, Nobusuke Kishi, while his counterpart in Germany, Albert Speer, was imprisoned.
Some Germans accused of war crimes also got away,such as Wernher Von Braun,Erich Von Manstein and possibly more.But you're right about Japanese War Criminals escaping justice.
Surely, the logical thing to do when voting on a resolution 'against' one particular international state or another, would be to temporarily suspend that state's veto power. After all, a state is not going to support passing a resolution against itself.
Once you stop thinking from a fairness perspective and realise everything runs off power, it all starts to make sense. I used to wonder why the US is allowed to get away with such and such international crimes and thought naively that they should be punished, until somebody plainly put it - "who's gonna stop them?"
When veto powers exist in a system like this, the criminals can get away with any crime and there's nothing anyone else can do about it through those courts. Which means that the law is meaningless and doesn't apply to countries that those with veto power don't want it to apply to.
i love Start Here -Al Jazeera (Sandra is so good at this) i feel, as many have already pointed out, that giving countries the veto right is actually counterproductive seen from ICJ perspective. it is time the veto power of privileged nations is revoked.
Thank you for this. This is a clear depiction of the structures and current constraints on international law in a very concise presentation. Very much appreciated.
Try applying International law judgements on a Third World/African country and see how quickly it is successful. Case in point, the Uganda versus DRC ruling.
The ICJ judge saying that countries ignoring judgements is very rare is wild. Then using an African conflict as an example of the efficacy of the ICJ is really insulting the intelligence of viewers.
in Kenya we say "Sheria ni ya wanyonge/maskini"...."the rules are for the weak/poor".. so the rich and powerful just buy their freedom.. all in all, the police is a tool for the govt
Translation: Nations will abide by International Law when it fits their interests. Power and self-interest reign above all. The rest is window dressing.
ICJ verdicts are valid when its in between DRC and Uganda But not in between an influencial state and other. Now , what is the point of its existence if law can not save the oppresed .
Customary Law amounts to agreeable unwritten standards governing international status quo -- hence, customs (the culture) to which international trading partners adhere.
If Islamic country have international political philosophy professor . International law professor . So create a new political ideology and constitution evolve and develop
No. You have to join the ICC. Countries like the US and Israel did not join the ICC. - "On 17 July 1998, the international community reached an historic milestone when 120 States adopted the Rome Statute, the legal basis for establishing the permanent International Criminal Court. The Rome Statute entered into force on 1 July 2002 after ratification by 60 countries." - an ICC website - 9/11 was 9/11/2001 - "The Bush administration told the CIA in 2002 that its interrogators working abroad would not violate US prohibitions against torture unless they "have the specific intent to inflict severe pain or suffering", according to a previously secret US Justice Department memo released on July 24, 2008." - wiki - The claim is that the US couldn't join the ICC because it would violate the US Constitution, but this seems to be a flimsy excuse to avoid the President and high ranking officials having to appear before the ICC for committing crimes against humanity.
So ICC arrest warrant is very much like a lucky packet, it all depends on circumstances changing in order to enforce the warrent. Do these people even listen to themselves?
I would have liked to hear more about the US and potentially other western countries flouting ICJ and ICC rulings or otherwise interfere with the process. I was really surprised when I checked afterwards and saw that this video was done by Al Jazeera.
ICJ and ICC have done a good job already. It's like you have a good law system but dont have any law enforcement situation right now. Nobody are willing are has the power to go to the conflict zone and make those comply.

Did you cover Hazara genocide in Afghanistan???
More on the road episodes please! 🙏🏽
The concept of the veto had always seemed unfair to me. Then what is the point of having these organizations if only the word of five countries matters?
Because money talks
A rigged system to maintain their (the big five) dominance.
It was part of the deal to form the UN after WW2. The US was big dog after rushing in toward the end of ww2 to help, and wouldn't join without it.
At this point the only thing they can agree on is in defense of an alien invasion 😂
Especially when those five are corrupt. Like the one which is run by AIPAC
Why is the country being investigated allowed to veto in the first place!?!?
Because they have (not cash) nukes
Justice is whatever the people at the top says it is. We people at the bottom suffer from it.
don't keep on complaining, but work your way up to the top position and see for yourself if you still can maintain your integrity or join the others to be corrupted
No one is above the law.
As a student of law, I commend this presentation by Al Jazeera. Very comprehensive and balanced.
Way more balanced than I expected
Agreed as a fellow law student
I initially read it as condemn 😂
Apparently international law is like putting a Please Wash Your Hands sign in public restrooms. Makes you aware of a situation but does little else..
Like always
International law ,only when is applying to US interests
Not just US, but other 4 veto power too
There should be a way to override a veto.
And countries named in a dispute shouldn't be allowed a vote; it's a legal conflict of interest!
Over 75% of the countries in the UN have acknowledged the State of Palestine as a country.
The US's veto alone has stopped the State of Palestine from being approved as a full member state of the UN.
If a US president vetoes a law passed by Congress, a 2/3's vote - 66% - of both Houses of Congress is enough to override their veto.
Seems there should be more than enough votes to override Israel's ... I mean the US governments... veto in the UN.

Ah yes, because just because the un passes some kind of resolution the us or China or Russia would comply with it

I could watch and listen to the presenter for days.
i cant live without her. 🥰
She's good, ain't she...her presentation is like that of Cleo Abrams of Huge if True...
she's good. no doubt
This lady speaks very softly and delicately. One would like to hear more from her.
Al Jazeera has become my go to channel for news and understanding the world around me.
Whew, sorry to hear that. You’re being brainwashed.
When will there be an arrest warrant for Netanyahu
They said about the veto, which is used by countries. But in this case there was direct threat to the members of ICC by US of personal sanctions. Unfortunately they didn't say anything about that.
This is not possible to get him ..
Insane quality!!! Its like watching a movie or documentary
As always . . .an excellent analysis of reported facts. Much gratitude!
Abba Eban (former Israeli foreign minister and and the first Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nation) once said that: “International law is the law which the wicked do not obey and the righteous do not enforce”
This is the international law.
but when there is no enforcement of international law in crucial times like genocide, what is the point of international law?
It's a deslusion ! Who has power plays like he wants .
International community is a big lie !
It is an attempt for a change.
An attempt that is failing at this point because the world's largest governments don't want to abide by it, won't enforce it, ... and they all have veto power at the UN.
A myth perpetuated by imperialist powers to legitimize themselves and enforce their standing
Thanks, this is a good background to the ICJ and ICC.
The level of disrespect has reached a point where some view international laws as disposable as toilet paper 🧻.
because they pretty much are, for big powerful imperialist states at least
3:30 ICJ
6:30 UN security council
8:48 Reforms should be made
10:30 ICC
Your editors are wonderful , what agreat content always 👍❤️
that's a very high quality production.
The era of application the international law only for African, Asian, Latin American has ended now. Europe, west defacto, and their allies enjoy exemption over the ages. It couldn’t be run as it is now.
This is actually very very insightful. More of these would be much appreciated 🤗🤗
Top notch production- makes you watch the video until the end. Bravo Al Jazeera
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for this. So very interesting and I certainly understand how the mechanics of international law work more than I did before I watched this.
No exclusion for torture? So when were the cases against US officials who signed off on “enhanced interrogation”?
One thing I understood from this video that law is only for weak people not for strong/rich people weather nationwide or international
The fact is... there should not be a security council or the power to veto by those in the security council. Every country should have equal footing.
Insightful blog by Al Jazeera. I cannot even ignore a single second. Although I am a Jessupian.
Start here is going to be one of my favorite show.Thanks to the team❤
Absolutely succinctly explained. Thank you.
Great editing ! Love this series and the host is always great ❤

But many Nazis "escaped" to Argentina or were brought over to the US.
Some Germans accused of war crimes also got away,such as Wernher Von Braun,Erich Von Manstein and possibly more.But you're right about Japanese War Criminals escaping justice.
The Gehlen Organization was accused of employing former Nazis such as ex-NSDAP members and former Wehrmacht officers.
A plus for the creativity.
Thanks for this educative material.

Finally someone talking FACTS!
Video as always informative, production mind blowing!!
I wonder why Al ja zeera top comments are always so angry 🤔 seemed like a helpful informative video to me

The courts literally can’t do anything regardless of any vetos

Thank you Sandra

I appreciate that the presenter highlighted the fact that all persons prosecuted in the ICC are African.
Very constructive

Great report ❤
ICC should start from the Top
The concept of the veto must be vetoed!
Uganda should have to pay 300m$ to DRC for occupation then how much money 🤑 Britain will have to pay to India 🇮🇳 and other countries .
No more international 🤛
Customary Law amounts to agreeable unwritten standards governing international status quo -- hence, customs (the culture) to which international trading partners adhere.
International law with its appendages is the wing of the powerful countries
To protect rich people
If Islamic country have international political philosophy professor . International law professor . So create a new political ideology and constitution evolve and develop
Why are there permanent members of the ICC? Isn't every country a permanent member?
The US anf Israel aren't signatories to the Rome statute (conveniently), so... no.
No. You have to join the ICC.

rules are only complied when the verdict is against poor and black people
