Jan. 23: ‘Can we indeed avoid the debacle of 2003? I certainly hope so – but I am skeptical.’ Readers react to the new SARS-like coronavirus, plus other letters to the editor GlobeDebate

: Attacks on the International Criminal Court are nothing new. Countries that refused to ratify the Rome Statute of the ICC, such as Israel, the United States and China, seem to have always resisted this court with its global respect for the rule of law and accountability for crimes against humanity, lest they be targeted for their international boot-prints.

In a very dangerous world splintered by nationalism and shifting alliances, support for an international court of justice should be vital to at least try to control genocidal tendencies and the extinction of human rights. It seems an important time in our history to promote international co-operation, respect for human dignity and the rule of law. Canada should speak out and take a principled stand to preserve and support the ICC’s jurisdiction and effectiveness.

As is often the case, these issues are complex, and workable solutions will likely fall within the vast grey area between positions. Viewing complex issues in simple I’m-right-you’re-wrong terms is not helpful. In fact, it seems to be part of the problem.

Making it sound good, but listening to the Doctors in Washington state would leave you to wonder. The main out come from them as they laugh at the end of their talk is, 'Wash your hands'! Obviously it more laughter, 'Nothing happening here, Move along'.
