Permitting jurisdiction of this kangaroo court over Americans is a major mistake!! You already hear the America-haters, thosse trolling for bribes, third worlders wanting payoffs, throwing "crimes against humanity" around to cover anything.

Some UN slug, earlier this week, claimed that the coming starvation of almost a million in Southern Africa would be a "crime against humanity," and that they had only 30 million of the 500 million necessary to prevent it. So, next year after some well publicized picture of Africans looking unhappy and hungry and claims that millions had starved (but, no bodies), someone will raise charges in the court that the US, by providing the 470 million, was guilty of not preventing a "crime against humanity." Defending our borders, using timber taken from an area where a species has gone extinct, use of fuels causing global warming (kyoto) will all be claimed to be the "equivalent" of a "crime against humanity." The jurisdiction of these slugs will expand until they find something equivalent to the interstate commerce clause, and then every aspect of life in the US (and, the world) comes under the jurisdiction of these theiving socialists in Europe.

You got that right, but it's most horrible aspect is that individual citizens will eventually be tied before it. Arrested in the USofA, held for years in a Turkish prison, or a Russian prison, or a Saudi prison, there is no Writ of Habeous Corpus, no charges need to be filed, if you win your case they can arrest you before you leave the court room and try you again for the same offense, after years of waiting that is.
