"Anti-Torture Amendment"; Bush disapproves

[Madame Adequate]

What concequences does dis-obeying the UN have? The US invaded Iraq and that is against 'International Law'. What happened? Nothing. The UN has no way to enforce their 'Laws' thus it is on the honor system and if someone doesn't feel like sticking to it the only way to get it enforced is to have someone who opposes the country step up and have the power to do so.

The US invasion was entirely legal from a UN standpoint; resolutions passed in the wake of the First Gulf War ensured that and Saddam had violated Cloud's lauded international laws countless times. The fact that neither the real violations of Saddam (Not to mention other regimes such as Zimbabwe and North Korea) are not strongly punished by the UN, and neither are the attacks popularly percevied as illegal by the coalition, plainly shows that the UN enjoys pretty much no power whatsoever.

Point is that there's pretty much nothing to fear from the UN for any parties. Only nations which actually take action (Legal or otherwise) are the ones who are getting things done.
