It is Not an "international Court designed to Punish Crimes Against Humanity" The ICJ is a civil court between states The ICJ's website says it's jurisdiction is"The International Court of Justice acts as a world court. The Court has a dual jurisdiction : it decides, in accordance with international law, disputes of a legal nature that are submitted to it by States (jurisdiction in contentious cases); and it gives advisory opinions on legal questions at the request of the organs of the United Nations or specialized agencies authorized to make such a request (advisory jurisdiction)."Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07777039162300147403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6865007.post-43774177402118611232009-01-26T18:42:00.000-08:002009-01-26T18:42:00.000-08:00re:IACHR....i've seen an AC using the ICJ, althoug...re:IACHR....i've seen an AC using the ICJ, although that's slightly more complex of a case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6865007.post-67982884158364107812009-01-26T12:11:00.000-08:002009-01-26T12:11:00.000-08:00How could I warrant that submission to a foreign e...How could I warrant that submission to a foreign entities forgeoes the constitution, because we have submitted ourselves to a higher entity, which denies the principal of democracy that we as Americans uphold, because we do not elect the member of the International court.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6865007.post-42644871278663520552009-01-25T08:26:00.000-08:002009-01-25T08:26:00.000-08:00yesterday I debated the same feminist except this ...yesterday I debated the same feminist except this time they were on neg and I actually paid attention to the warrents. We both valued justice; her vc was "applying a feminist perspective" and her cards warrented it buy saying 1. it revealed masculine assumptions by the international community (which I turned by saying catagorizing things creates assumptions) and 2. it counter-balanced the dominance of men in the international community (which I responded to by saying if male leaders started acting like women there'd be no incentive for democratic countries to elect female leaders.)<BR/>c1 was about the ICC not defining agression, and c2 was about the ICC discriminating against transsexuals etcetera by defining gender accourding to biological sex. To c1 I said that women would be covered by other crimes and protected more than the status quo, to c2 I said that in the status quo gender is defined as biology anyway but since a court can change its definitions by joining the US could potentially get the rest of the world to change.<BR/><BR/>And I threw in three reasons the rez wasn't talking about the ICC anyway.<BR/><BR/>It was quite an entertaining debate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6865007.post-69712342212367059502009-01-19T18:09:00.000-08:002009-01-19T18:09:00.000-08:00I haven't read Habermas in a long time, so feel fr...I haven't read Habermas in a long time, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Habermas actually goes the other way.<BR/><BR/>In order for discourses to create moral universals, the discursive process must be consented and submitted to. If we do not re-sign the Rome Statute, ratify it and engage in the process of truly creating the discourse of the court, those moral universals cannot be created.<BR/><BR/>Of course, this vision of the process implies that the US will have a major role in steering the court rather than simply being subject to it. If we believe that the US will be an agent in addition to a subject, then Habermas actually flips Aff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6865007.post-7213344642628235532009-01-19T08:34:00.000-08:002009-01-19T08:34:00.000-08:00The Habermas neg sounds really neat, where would I...The Habermas neg sounds really neat, where would I look for cards expressing that?PJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09853384011356371699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6865007.post-80546747121725037002009-01-18T20:14:00.000-08:002009-01-18T20:14:00.000-08:00Matt, if I recall correctly, it was set up with a ...<B>Matt</B>, if I recall correctly, it was set up with a justice / minimizing rights violations V/C, and had something to do with the morality of keeping one's promises (in this case, the U.S.'s involvement in the creation of the OAS and the IACHR).Jim Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928624189124041120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6865007.post-57943733526458807692009-01-18T19:16:00.000-08:002009-01-18T19:16:00.000-08:00I saw something similar to the Heg Aff except it w...I saw something similar to the Heg Aff except it was focused around increase in U.S soft power....<BR/><BR/>Wow, That Feminist case looks interesting....
