An Imperial Criminal Court
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. — July 9, 2002
In refusing to confirm the establishment of an imperial form of International Criminal Court (ICC), the U.S. government recently made the right choice, even though it had acted out of the wrong motive. It was an error by former President William Clinton, not to have blocked the ICC before his leaving office. Unfortunately, many other nations supported that Court, on obviously different, but dangerously mistaken premises.
The thing to be feared more than either war or crimes against humanity, is the establishment of an imperial form of "world rule of law," a form of law which, in practice, would condemn all mankind to the kind of horrors suffered under the Roman Empire and the ensuing Dark Age which that Empire brought down upon Europe and neighboring regions. The antics of "Transparency International," are only typical of the imperial impulse permeating the current use of all such proposals for a "world rule of law."

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 Nuremberg court was convened to address Nazi war crimes and other capital crimes against humanity. Such courts are convened ad hoc under the same type of authority as a justified declaration of an act of war. Thus, a court such as the ICC is arguably unnecessary, in addition to being judged even an odious venture on other premises.

In thinking about the true republican character of the United States, to which our nation is long overdue to return, it is of interest to look at the policy the Founders adopted toward absorbing the Western lands. This week we recall that policy as adopted by the founders on July 13, 1787, with the Ordinance for the Government of the Territory of the United States, North-West of the River Ohio, commonly known as The Northwest Ordinance.
The Northwest Territory was the common property of all the states, formed from a huge area of land previously claimed by the Commonwealth of Virginia. It extended westward from Pennsylvania all the way to the Mississippi River.
Under the Northwest Ordinance, passed in 1787, many of the provisions of U.S. Constitution, passed by a different representative body two months later, were established. Slavery was prohibited in all territory north of the Ohio River, and freedom of religion was guaranteed to all. In each section of land, lots had been set aside for the building of public grammar schools, secondary academies, and even colleges.
The bulk of the ordinance was devoted to establishing the form of governance in the Territory, in such a way as to prepare the territories to become anywhere from three to five states of the United States, once they had been sufficiently populated. The second section of the Ordinance read as follows:

- The Apocalyptic Plague Of Christian Zionism
There is no group in the United States more committed to a Clash of Civilizations against the Muslim world, than the so-called Christian Zionists, or Christian fundamentalists, a constituency of an estimated 40-70 million Americans who follow the 19th-Century millenarian cultism of the British Rev.

- When 'War on Terror' Supports Terrorism
While the Bush Administration has pronounced the 'war on terrorism' to be the number-one issue since Sept. 11, on the agenda of all the world leaders, a careful review of how it has pursued that war reveals some dramatic cases of double-speak and hypocrisy, and, in Ibero-America, an outright capitulation to the very narco-terrorist forces that comprise the leading component of the irregular warfare apparatus stalking the planet today.
