The United States ratified its involvement in the United Nations as it would a treaty. By that understanding, it IS subject to the UN's authority, if it had any that was. But I'll argue the con, simply logistically. 1. There is a perverse anti-US bias in many of the countries of the world. It would be impossible to receive a fair trial. Who would sit on it? France? Germany? The only countries where the United States in admired are Israel and Africa. 2. When the UN asked Libya, Sudan, and China to join its Commission on Human Rights, it forfeited any pretense of moral authority. Even its current Human Rights Council is nothing more than a Palestinian mouthpiece. 3. I don't see any human rights violation on the part of the United States strong enough to warrant international interference. Previous international trials have been for one thing: genocide. No one would argue the United States has ever even approached that. Other countries may make a hoopla about torture at Guantanamo, but when it comes down to it, most European countries realize the greatest threat to their security is Islamic terror. Simply put, bad idea. I'd rather see investigations in China, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, and the Hamas before the Western country founded on human rights and liberties. |
