No. The point was to draw a line between the countries who respect humans rights and are willing to be judged and punished when they don't and the countries that did not.
Of course China and KSA would never join. And that would give other countries a clear and objective criterion to apply sanctions and international pressure.
Instead, judging what sanction a country deserves is an arbitrary exercise of executive power.
North Korea, China, KSA, are easy cases, but what do you know of Moldova? Of Hungary? Of Malaysia? Knowing that a country is held to some international standards judged independently would be a huge progress for human rights globally.
>So what should I expect about the integrity of justice here?
You could maybe ask the other 26 nations how they might see things?
Remember the EU is not just 1 lady who had a bad daddy. And her tenure is not forever.
The same is also true of the US, every 4 years the whole country gets to vote for either the worst of their instincts, or for the person that embodies a higher ideal. So a lot can change over the next few decades.
I'm with C. Hitchens, a short term pessimist, but a long term optimist :)
So we're holding Ursula von Der Leyen responsible for her father's actions now? Or is it that his immorality is genetically transmissible and she too is definitely a bad person?
In her case: Der Apfel faellt nicht weit vom Stamm. She is a chip of the old block.
One of the things that got her famous in Germany was her persistent lying and schemeing, including "think of the children", including showing actual child porn to journalists[0], to get her internet censorship and surveillance scheme passed. Definitely her father's footsteps.
Well yes she is a pretty bad person, remember McKinsey? Internet Censor at ISP level? Trying to buy Drones with weapons on board? The probably buy d dissertation for her Dr. Med?
> The EU? The father or Ursula von der Leyen did a false flag against some imprisoned RAF members. They bombed a prison and tried to blame it on the inmates and accomplices.
Could you tell me, where to find more information about this? Thanks!
Really?
Do you really think any international body would hold Saudi Arabia, China to account?
He who holds the purse, makes the rules. And they hold a pretty big purse.
