The Battle for the Highest Court
“When the most powerful country in the world thumbs its nose at the rule of law and human rights, it grants a licence
to others to commit abuse with impunity and audacity.”
Stated Irene Khan, Secretary General of Amnesty International (1).
Strong courts and laws are what obstructs criminal activities. Injustice reigns in the Sudan, Darfur region, Occupied
Palestinian Territories, Columbia, Myanmar and other nations throughout the world. These criminals empires and
corrupted governments are directly addressed by such bodies as the International Criminal Court, Millennium
Declaration, Charter of Fundamental Rights, Arab Charter on Human Rights, International Action Network on Small
Arms, Geneva Conventions, United Nations Convention Against Torture, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
and similar entities. The United States also defends human rights through it’s own doctrines such as the Constitution,
Bill of Rights, Anti-Torture Act, U.S.-ratified Convention Against Torture, and the Military Code. Imperialist Courts (aka
neo-conservatist laws or courts of the Bush administration) have depreciated and nullified such doctrines.
Kidnappings, torture, rape, murder, genocide and other crimes now reign rampant in the wake of a lawless land. The
entire development of a lawless world is the product of a battle between the Imperialist Courts and the International
Criminal Court. These two superpower entities of justice have been fighting each other for decades. The fight is now
in the peek of it’s damage, due in part to 9/11. After 9/11the imperialist enacted laws contradictory to the doctrines of
human rights. The battle for the highest court of the land is a battle of power. Whoever makes the law in the land has
the power. The rule of the imperialist courts have created laws that only depreciate the status quo of humanity. Since
it’s empowerment, the imperialist courts has imposed the Patriot Act, it has legalized torture, and elevated instances
of extraordinary rendition. These damaging decrees contradict the nature of justice in any system of law. They are
created in part through the ‘war on terror’ an action that isn’t even a war since wars are defined by a declaration and
a definitive enemy. Operation Iraqi Freedom hasn’t kept Americans safe since Iraq was never in any way a threat to
the US. No weapons of mass destruction has been found in Iraq and Saddam Hussein never had the capability to
produce missiles that could reach the US. Operation Iraqi Freedom was of oil, money and power, not of safety. The
imperialist government still hasn’t captured Osama Bin Landen, four years after 9/11.
The damage done by Guantanamo Bay, Abu Gharib, and illegal detentions is minuet in comparison with the damage
done to the systems of law that protect the public in general. The repercussions of imperialist doctrines are felt
worldwide as criminals run amok, committing crimes in the wake of a depreciated national and international court
systems. The Intelligence Committee meanwhile is advocating for the 'Patriot Act Two'. This new bill we make many
provisions in the first Patriot act permanent. The new Patriot Act will give the F.B.I. the power to issue administrative
subpoenas. In other words, the F.B.I., under the new bill, will be able to obtain documents without going before a
superior with reasonable cause (2). Irene Khan states,
“Human rights are not only a promise unfulfilled, they are a promise betrayed...Despite the promises in the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights and international human rights treaties that every person shall have the right to an
adequate standard of living and access to food, water, shelter, education, work and health care, more than a billion
people lack clean water, 121 million children do not go to school, most of the 25 million people suffering from HIV/AIDS
in Africa have no access to health care, and half a million women die every year during pregnancy or childbirth. The
poor are also more likely to be victims of crimes and police brutality.”(1)
The imperialist doctrines fails in it’s goals of upholding the law, serving justice, and making this land a safer place.
For example a typical Imperialist law states that a suspect could be kidnapped and sent to a prison in another country
for torture (typically Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Jordan and Pakistan). This method of kidnapping and the
torture of innocent people is labeled 'extraordinary rendition' and is no way legal despite the claim of the
administration that it is legal. The same administration states that such methods cannot be use against American
suspects. Such explicitly bias doctrine fails in being law as much as it fails in protecting the prosperity of the public.
Torture has been proven an ineffective means of extracting information. Testimony gained by such methods are
inadmissible in court and prove in the end to be misleading or false, since people will say anything under such
tribulations. Not only do these methods produce inapt information, it also leaves suspects in a lawless limbo. Captors
and human right advocates are both unsure on the standards prevailing in such situations. The US arrived at the
same conclusions when enacting the War Crimes Act, Anti-Torture Act and US-ratified Convention Against Torture.
Alberto Gonzalez Attorney General for the Bush Administration promoted illegal imperialist doctrines by stating that
international law does not apply to the ‘war on terror. Yet even if the ‘war on terror’ is not subject to international
laws it is still subject to national laws.
The US Court’s and the UN Court’s doctrines are similar in many ways. The Constitution and the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights protects civilians from abuse of government. The doctrines of the imperialist courts make it easier
for governments to abuse the public and for criminals to run amok. A reign of terror sweeps over the world as both
insurgents and law enforcement officials engage in criminals activities such as torture, rape, kidnapping, murder, and
illegal detention. Children are being sold into slavery, forced into prostitution by criminals, governments, and
parents. Sexual exploitation is on the rise. Women’s rights advances are abruptly obstructed in the reign of the
imperialist court. The Inter-American Convention on the Prevention, Punishment and Eradication of Violence against
Women along with the Stop Violence Against Women campaigns both fell sort of anticipated goals in 2004.
The imperialist Court has succeeded in depreciating the power of the International Court. Yet the doctrines set forth
by the imperialist criminalizes the world rather than polices it. The incentive for such damaging decrees of legalized
torture, extraordinary renditio,n and the Patriot Act appears to be money, since this, so called system of law,
concentrates funds to the benefit of a few wealthy corporations and families. Instead of impeding human rights, the
administration and the public must strive to make innovating advances in systems of law for the good of all people.
