Contrary to the principles enshrined in the UN and that its members subscribe virtuously, international justice to sacrifice more prosaic motives and generally few questions on the Right. In this regard, states often sin by action or omission. A series of factors taken individually or in combination with each other to explain, even when they simply can not justify the positions of countries on the international scene: the interests point, the traditional ties, public opinion, pressure groups, the proximity of elections, opinion polls ...

The Security Council of the UN is the place par excellence where "the spirit of the law" is constantly subverted, perverted and trampled to Loved vets! All members of this gathering to do it with ease, apparently without qualms, and often all sense of shame as the support they show sometimes insult to intelligence. When they do not hit the "universal morality" meant dictate international relations! Or so we expect those who sit on the Security Council as they provide evidence of equity because their decisions affect all peoples of the earth. There is something unhealthy to have one of its permanent members refuse stubbornly only condemn wrongdoing-for example, a massacre perpetrated by a third country against another people. This is the case of the United States and Israel. The successive U.S. administrations, Democratic and Republican, resolutely prevent the other members of the Security Council to blame, by veto interposed, all too many abuses Tel-Aviv chapter of human rights in Palestine. There, in the twenty-first century, Israel demonstrates a barbarity found only in the pages of the bloodiest in human history. Difficult to understand for a country born of compassion and international solidarity. And this, we can not hide it, to the detriment of the Palestinian people that oppresses today blithely turn! The founding documents of the UN explicitly define the behavior (especially bonds) of the occupier vis-à-vis the occupied ... even if the occupation and the war permits, are prohibited. Because the united nations was created precisely for that, the promotion of peace and the banishment of war in the world. But since we do not live in a perfect world ... It is also not that the United States to compromise himself in the odious. Each of the major powers includes the benefit of "his" crimes they virulently denounced the case of others. We reached the grotesque when a man, but only one pass through the goodwill of those powers, the status of an angel than demon, and that we want to involve the whole international community in the transfer of feelings of love -hatred. Friends and enemies change frequently place in this dangerous game of musical chairs where alternate alliances and interests of the moment that set these unions often hidden. When they do not simply merge. Many dictators have experienced and their dependent, falling, at the height of glory in disgrace signifying the end of the interest which formerly bestowed the West. Often after "good and loyal service" rendered to their constituents that time ... Yesterday the Shah of Iran, Bokassa, Idi Dada Min and Mobutu, but also Noriega and Marcos ... More recently his fallen angels, glorified leviathans have names for Saddam Hussein and Muammar (which has its wings back on ... with more or less successfully). The list, with the erection of International Criminal Tribunal (ICTY), will probably go on growing. Some of which the United States, Israel, Iran, Saudi Arabia and North Korea (amazing promiscuity) have not joined the institution of this body of international justice will not change anything.
A BLANK CHEQUE Back
elevator, opportunism, guilt or simply "political realism", the reality of justice map and found two speed helped create monsters. Both the side of those who usually benefit from that among the rebels too many of a world acting in a biased open. Protected and untouchable form a "club" and closed with small sesame remains historically-but-tragic drama! In other words: Being a victim of genocide is now, paradoxically, after a shameful exploitation, an enviable status. To recognize the fact the international community deploys more energy than preventing-and-above all prevent its commission ... Or so those who have hitherto been recognized as victims of genocide, many will claim but few are "chosen" - the same time receive a carte blanche, a blank check authorizing their actions more reprehensible and their various crimes resulting in a total impunity. How surprising therefore that in such a context of laxity, the victims of yesterday have been tempted to become the executioners of today? Assuredly is what is Israel to the Palestinians for too many decades already. The contempt for human life as evidenced by the state Hebrew in the occupied territories would bring him, with international opprobrium, the official condemnations and sanctions more stringent than those outstanding amounts Iran of the mullahs. Its blockade as wild as its colonization, its indiscriminate and repeated raids on the civilian population of Gaza: What power a plea of crimes against humanity and other provisions of international justice. But nothing ever comes. Result, a monstrous creature satiated insensitivity, cruelty, selfishness and arrogance with impunity defy the international community, Israel! Only the Nazis, the executioner of the past of the Jewish people had thus been able to do before them. History stutters tragically ...
OTHER PLACES, OTHER TIMES, EVEN REALLY
1994: The Tutsi are affected by a massacre organized nature. The murders are perpetrated by the Hutu regime loyal to then. In total nearly one million people were massacred, among whom are listed a few so-called moderate Hutus, before the UN does not recognize the crime of genocide to describe the events that unfold before the horrified gaze of the entire international community . It is then, during as thousands of men, women and children were massacred and the United States in particular were reluctant to award the "good report" from victims of genocide only to other Jews. Since this is a status that has only rights and calls for no obligation! Yet today we know so much evidence and have continued to support the facts-that the men of General Paul Kagame, now Rwanda's president, had perpetrated the bombing that claimed the life of President Hutu Juvenal Habyarimana . Several dissidents Rwandan Patriotic Forces (RPF) who accompanied Kagame in Kigali on his victorious march testified to that effect, in support of the findings of a French parliamentary commission. A famous Parisian judge went so far as to indict some caciques RPF for the attack considered as the trigger for the massacres. The France of Sarkozy has been yet intrepid fallen miserably, all sense of shame, facing the wrath of Kagame. But that may well fear this small portion of Paris that is Rwanda? Is that realpolitik has been through it, this concept with blurred that allows the dwarf to threaten the giant. Otherwise why Ban Ki-Moon hasten it, unprecedented for a secretary-general of the UN, to go before the General Kagame to assure him of his support, that is to say that the international community it represents, for a mea culpa which incidentally should hire him. And this just before the publication of a report by its own experts damning the Tutsi regime in Rwanda of genocide in the Hutu refugee camps in eastern DRC neighbor! It was unusual for the approach of the Secretary-General of the UN manifesto, is it necessary, through an international policy prostitute, subservient to Realpolitik. Maintain it pays, but also loses. Many credibilities have failed so dramatically on its banks, trying to ride the wave of the "here and now! Low vision voluntary temporary needy or just intellectual vision shortcuts and immersed in the immediacy, Ban Ki-Moon could not hardly get out unscathed. Clearly the Secretary-General of the UN must pledge in order to forget his unwelcome Rwandan getaway on a collective amnesia of the international community. Carpe diem therefore, History nobody holds anything. Since memory men is a faculty that forgets . The memory of the victors, not the losers ... And history as a memory of humanity holds in her stubborn plustard to disclose all the traits that humans carve the court of his parchment. From this story it will be understood that the characterization of genocide is certainly not a matter of justice, but barely! Injustice, or only the bias is often simply a matter of perception. Or so the idea that people do it-especially to those who rightly or wrongly believe do not benefit from it-is sometimes tougher than the given factual Item producer of meaning. Whether one believes in identifying the attitudes of 'major players' international ambitions of convenience is enough to conclude that justice perverted, serving against each other ... Also the spectacular twists which fans are the "powerful" incite suspicion about their loyalty. It may take less for the minds and radicalize the guns thundered. In terms of international justice law, for what it too often aligns Realpolitik-erasing gains made along the way in pain-similar to the policy of "scorched earth". It is the policy of the firefighter-arsonist!
