Occupy Underground

...but we're there very minimally. I understand and appreciate your position, but it's important to remember that Joseph Kony has been allowed to commit these crimes for so long because frankly the world does not give a damn. I would also point out that "imperial" has a very specific meaning and should not be used as a blanket term - countries conduct empire. Even though some argue that international organization is imperialist, it is my opinion that such claims are spurious. If the United States would sign the Rome Statute, it would not be the action of a single empire but of almost the entire world. Joseph Kony is #1 on the ICC wanted list and has been over a decade now. I don't approve of empire, but I do approve of internationalism.

I think it's worth remembering too that there are about 15,000 U.N. Peacekeepers in the DRC under MONUSCO that essentially have no authority and no mission. I would like to see a more coherent administration of international law such that the UN and the ICC work in tandem so that the ICC has punch and the UN has moral authority.

P.S. The SOP of this group is written as such as to while focus on OWS not discuss it exclusively, hence "share information." The only topics that are taboo are direct attacks on OWS itself.

P.P.S. I think you're a reasonable person and respect your opinion.
