The International Criminal Court will be set up after 60 nations have ratified the Rome Statute. Today 37 ratifications are recorded, and some expect that we'll hit 60 next year. The World Federalist Movement cheers...

    # THE EUROPEAN UNION #
  • 11/15 of the EU states have ratified the statute
  • Greece, Ireland, Portugal or the United Kingdom have not, but these four countries are in the process of ratifying

    # NATO #
  • 11/19 of the NATO states have ratified the statute
  • The Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Portugal, Turkey, the United Kingdom or the United States have not. Six of these countries, all but Turkey and the United States, are in the process of ratifying
  • Turkey is, after Clinton's last-minute acts, the only NATO country that has abstained from signing the statute

    # OTHER KEY COUNTRIES #
  • Australia has signed and is working on ratification
  • China has not signed the Rome Statute
  • India has not signed the Rome Statute but is considering doing so

I think now we know why God separated the people into separate languages and nations, after the tower of Babel incident. Now, we are coming right back to building the "tower". We'll make our own laws, and leave God out of it, because WE know better.
Judgement day is soon here, and we will take account for our lives before our Creator.
