This reminds me of a Supreme Court case: the one in which Marshall ruled that the American Government's seizure of land from the Native Americans inhabiting areas around the Mississippi River was unconstitutional. Jackson went ahead with it anyway. After explaining that the United States is the muscle of the UN, you also say we're subject to their judgment. I doubt the United States will ever take actions against itself. We do, however, benefit from joining said organization. Even if we don't recieve protection, we create a vast network of allies dedicated to the same cause. Even if we're the "main" force of the UN, if we find something to be a human rights violation we can call on other nations for support. Joining this court subjects us to much easier terms during war because we go into battles with more foreign support, money, supplies, etcetera. Should we stand against human rights violations, we get a discount and benefits when actually fighting. Plus, y'know, it helps to end crimes against humanity.
