		In court Breard confessed to killing the woman and was sentenced to death for the murder.
		The CFR is dedicated to the establishment of world government, and the legitimacy of the World Court is important in furthering that end.
		The establishment of an international criminal code will expand the World Court's function from an non-binding arbitrator of international disputes to a criminal court empowered with the "element of compulsion." This phrase is lawyers' jargon for "jurisdiction over individuals", with binding authority to order their national governments to surrender them to The Hague for trial.

	World Court
		The World Court, officially known as the International Court of Justice, is the U.N.'s court for resolving disputes between nations.
		It is the third World Court case in five years against the United States dealing with the death penalty.
		While it asked the court to stay the execution of all 51 Mexicans on death row, the court said a stay was needed for only the three most urgent cases for now.

		The court said in a nonbinding ruling hailed by Palestinians and rejected by Israel that the barrier violated international humanitarian law.
		The court acknowledged Israel's duty to protect its citizens but said it must do so within the law and should compensate Palestinians for homes and land lost or damaged by the building of the 100-yard wide strip of walls, ditches and fences.
		The U.N. General Assembly requested an opinion on the barrier in December and the World Court held hearings in February overshadowed by public lobbying from both sides.

	World Court
		The Permanent Court of International Justice, commonly known as the World Court, was first proposed during discussions involving the Treaty of Versailles as an effective replacement for the ineffective Hague Tribunal.
		The World Court opened its doors in 1921 after the Covenant of the League of Nations was ratified by forty-two nations (sixty-three governments would join the league before its demise in 1946).
		FDR supported the court throughout the 1920s and as a presidential candidate; however, he did not allow Democratic senators to push for the court until late 1934.

	Necessary Illusions: Chapter 4 [3/10]
		Spence observes that "the obviously relevant pending World Court decision was not mentioned in the 171 [news] stories that preceded the World Court decision itself" on June 27, 1986.
		Its contents were suppressed or falsified, the World Court -- not the United States -- was portrayed as the criminal, and the rule of law was held inapplicable to the United States.
		Subsequent World Court proceedings on the matter of reparations to Nicaragua for U.S. crimes have also rarely reached the threshold; thus the August 1988 World Court announcement that the United States had failed to meet the court's deadline on determining war reparations passed virtually without notice.

		The idea of a "World Court", that is, a place of arbitration among nations to settle disputes rather than by arms, has had a long and turbulent development within the NS universe itself - which is somewhat ironic, since one of the reasons behind a world court is to promote peace and stability.
		The New Collateral World Court was an initiative of the nation of Ur an Ass, head of the Ur Trade Pact (UTP).
		The new court was supported by a lot of the same states (Vrak also a council member of the UTP) after the preceding world court became dysfunctional.

	CNN.com - Court rules U.S. broke rights laws - June 27, 2001
		In the landmark ruling, the court also said its provisional orders to national courts were legally binding, criticising the U.S. state of Arizona for ignoring the court's order to delay the execution of one of the brothers.
		The court found by 13 votes to two that the U.S. breached its obligations by failing to ensure Walter LaGrand was not executed pending the outcome of Germany's case against the U.S. The court said it was the first time that it had been asked to determine the legal effects of its orders.
		While the court has been asked to apply international law without moral judgment, the issue of the death penalty is contentious between the U.S. and Europe, where the death penalty has been abolished by all members of the European Union.

	World Kangaroo Court (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Indeed, the Court’s very composition is “political” because eight of the fifteen judges who serve on it come from nondemocratic countries and, especially in a case as politically charged as this one, can be expected to obey their dictators rather than the dictates of justice.
		Neither in the question referred to the Court by the UN, nor in the twenty-paragraph General Assembly resolution referring it, was there a single reference to the Palestinian terror that led Israel to build the fence in the first place.
		One would like to think this event will have a sobering impact on the “civilized” world and lead it to ask why it should tolerate and participate in a kangaroo court in which terrorists and their supporters slander a democracy for the crime of self-defense.

	World Court
		The United Nations' highest judiciary, also known as the World Court, was considering a suit filed by Mexico claiming 52 convicted murderers weren't given their right to assistance from their government.
		The court found that in the remaining case, the convict had received his rights and his case didn't need to be reviewed.
		When the court finally handed down the belated ruling in 2001, it chastised the U.S. government for not halting the LaGrand execution, and rejected arguments that Washington was powerless to intervene in criminal cases under the authority of the individual states.

	A World Court for Human Rights?
		Most of the States approving the court very probably thought that it would not be used to try their nationals and, if so, were prepared to dissociate themselves from such criminals even if they were in possession of their passport.
		It is of crucial importance to a court that its judgments are honored.
		It is preferable not to have a world court for human rights at all than to have a half-hearted patched-up institution with insufficient competence and feeble authority.

	(((i))) Indymedia Liege - World Court on War as Crime by women around the world at WSF of Mumbai
		The first Asian Court of Women on violence (1992) was held in Lahore, Pakistan with the Simorgh Collective and focussed on domestic violence, from dowry burning to acid throwing, to crimes of honour, to rape and women battering.

	The World Court
		The idea of establishing a world judicial body was not originated in Paris in 1919, but had been discussed on many occasions, most recently at the Second Hague Conference in 1907.
		However, the Irreconcilables in the Senate feared that cooperation with the court might be used as a backdoor entry into the league, and, indeed, many supporters of the court hoped that to be the case.
		Joining the court was still important, because the World Court complemented the Kellogg-Briand Pact, which was being implemented at the time — the two went together, as was recognized then.

		The court, a permanent tribunal to prosecute "crimes against humanity," strides onto the world stage without the ratification of the United States.
		The final four of the 60 ratifications necessary for the court to become operative were received today as the ninth preparatory committee session ("prepcom") of the International Criminal Court opened at the U.N. The prepcom, chaired by Philippe Kirsch of Canada, will finalize the arrangements for nomination and election procedures for ICC judges.
		Critics of the International Criminal Court fear that granting such powers to the United Nations sends a message that the U.N. is the definitive world organization that supersedes all nation states – which many regard as a serious assault on the concept of national sovereignty.

	Attacks against World Court by Bush, Kerry and Congress Reveals Growing Bipartisan Hostility to International Law
		Similarly, in 1999, the World Court voted that the United States and other existing nuclear powers were legally-bound by provisions of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty — signed and ratified by the United States and all but a handful of the world’s nations — to take serious steps to eliminate their nuclear arsenals.
		Kerry echoed the Bush Administration’s statement, stating that he was “deeply disappointed” by the World Court’s ruling, claiming that “Israel’s fence is a legitimate response to terror that only exists in response to the wave of terror attacks against Israel.
		In conclusion, these attacks against the World Court by both the Republicans and Democrats are not simply an endorsement of the dangerous and illegal policies of a right-wing ally.
