Inspired by a comment, “Regarding Sudan…” made by citizen53 in the DailyKos Midday Open Thread of Sunday, 8 March.
“There is an argument in HR circles that the indictment was for show and in the end has little to do with the real problem of protecting people.
Like was done with the formation of the ICTY regarding Yugoslavia, it makes people think something is being done because not much, in reality, is.
We often are pacified by perception.
Humanitarian intervention may makes more sense, even if it ends up being illegal in international law, like Kosovo. Not many really complained about the violation that saved lives.
Sadly, this is the state of international law, where an antiquated UN Charter does not afford the world a way to address internal problems as the issue of sovereignty is abused by bad leaders who commit war crimes against their own people.”
Two points I’d like to address here. More beneath the fold
