		It is to be emphasized, that without the existence of the proposed international criminal court, there already exists the recognized right and obligation of nations to establish courts, under the same authority of natural law as the law of justified warfare--courts which do not breach the principle of national sovereignty.
		The creation of such an international court returns civilization to the ancient and feudal state of affairs, in which a head of state of a participating nation, or several such nations, is subject to the overreaching control of an ultramontane, hence imperial authority.
		It were better that there be no judge, and no court, except ad hoc courts created by sovereign states for cases of war or kindred overriding issues, rather than one which supplies the imperial cloak of legality to a continuing practice of the type shown in such exemplary cases.
