The Rule of Power

Two independent non-profit research organizations, the Institute for Energy & Environmental Research and the Lawyer's Committee on Nuclear Policy, studied United States compliance with eight major international treaties including the Nuclear Non-Proliferation, Anti-Ballistic Missile, and Comprehensive Test Ban Treaties. In each case the organizations found the United States violated, compromised or undermined every treaty.*

The United States is the only nation condemned in the World Court at The Hague for terrorism as a result of Reagan's covert efforts to destabilize and overthrow the Sandinista government of Nicaragua in 1984. Despite the US refusal to ratify the new International Criminal Court treaty, the Court has been established. Congress, in a paroxysm of paranoid reaction, passed a law in 2003 (H.R. 4775) authorizing the use of military force to remove any American citizen held by the court for trial of war crimes.
