Oh, I’d really like to see them try this.

Stephen Hockman QC is proposing a body similar to the International Court of Justice in The Hague to be the supreme legal authority on issues regarding the environment.

The first role of the new body would be to enforce international agreements on cutting greenhouse gas emissions set to be agreed next year.

But the court would also fine countries or companies that fail to protect endangered species or degrade the natural environment and enforce the “right to a healthy environment”.

The fact that we have a spineless, ball-less, dickless excuse-for-an-administration coming to occupy the White House notwithstanding, I’d really&#160 like to see the Hague send people to come and collect those fines.

They’d collect metallic objects, all right – but they wouldn’t be coins.

One response to “The Hague seems to have a death wish”

  1. HDD says:

    Too many lawyer-types seem to forget the simple fact that, in order for a court to have authority, it must have the ability to actually enforce its rulings…

    Just because a court says so, doesn’t make it so.

This blog is best viewed with your eyes. 
It helps, though, if you have Microsoft Internet Explorer  set about 1024x768 1280x1024 with your Favorites window activated on the left deactivated.  (At least until I can get a better handle on how WordPress works.)

(KORRIOTH:  Oh, great.  More wormholes.)

Mozilla Firefox doesn't do too badly, either; in fact, it's His Rudeness' browser of choice.
You can  use Nutscrape,  if you so desire - but why in blazes would you want to use a browser from a company that had to hide behind Janet El Reño's skirt to be successful?

And don't even  get me started on Opera or Chrome.  I'm not about  to trust any browser that won't let me change its color scheme.
