#1 I'm waiting for someone to use the court to kill the court.

Basically, file suit in the court against the founders of the court for violating "national sovereignty" (or something like that - probably find it in the UN Charter) - and nice thing is, if you win the case, the Belgians are right there to go to prison.

It would be funny to see the court used against itself.

#2 Can we enact a "universal jurisdiction law"? I think that would be fun. Making a list... checking it twice...

#3 Why don't the Belgians just S.T.F.U.? I mean, a tiny country noted only for chocolate, pastry, and pedophiles, where do they get off? I think they have been too close to France for too long, they are sounding more and more like Jacques all the time.
