The International Tribunal in Hague couldn't care less about Assad
The fact that Hague Tribunal isn't doing NOW anything about #Assad just
confirms for me once more that this institution is a sort of political
concubine or or 'sex slave', which has nothing to do with the rule of
law, but on the contrary slavishly follows the political decisions,
fitting the law into the politics, not the
other way around. The same thing happened in the case of Qaddafi when
the Hague started to utter any sounds on this only AFTER Western
military began targeting (unlawfully too) his living place directly with
missiles... So Hague Tribunal is a very specific court which is
designed not to independently start investigation and decide whether
someone is guilty and administer punishment, but to kind of confirm a
posteriori that a punished person is a criminal... Sadly it's just
another 'sham institution' which corrodes the faith and confidence of
the whole world in the West, in its intention and moral stand; which
amongst many other things continues to ruin the image of the West in the
eyes of the developed countries. It is very very sad because just a
couple of decades ago the most progressive and educated people in the
developed countries really really placed a huge amount of faith in
Western political high moral principles and institutions purportedly
designed to realize those principles in practice. This credit of
confidence of the West was really a highly precious reserve, hugely
powerful tool - a thing to keep and cherish. But by now all this 'gold
reserve' has all but completely been frittered away, or, to be more
accurate, just let go down the drain, alas...
