Justice and peace are indeed complementary. True. Is it injustice for individuals to plunder their nations and stash the loot in Geneva and other Western capitals while their citizenry suffer in abject poverty? ICC, USA and other demigods, are these not crimes against humanity too?
Millions of poverty stricken masses the world over are dying and perishing because an individual or a number of them emptied their national coffers and banked it all in private accounts in Europe and other Western capitals, others have actually invested in these foreign nations with these foreign governments paying a blind eye to it.
Selective application of justice and paying lip service as shown by the West only makes their enemies more vibrant and incensed. The US does not hold any moral high ground to either advice or comment on activities of the ICC and the ICC, its staffers or officials has no business litigating or commenting on cases pending in court, to the media. I could be wrong but this is sub judice.
'...They say what we know is just what they teach us,.....that we are so ignorant and...whenever they want they can reach us through political strategy...' These words by Marley should provoke our conscience and remind us that we should strive to shape our own destiny.
