US Speaker Johnson: "We don't put any international body above our sovereignty"
All the complaints about supposed violations of international law that the US has made in the past really ring hollow now that Johnson has said the quiet part out loud: international bodies are designed to control the "impoverished, barbaric" Global East and South, not the "enlightened" Global West.

A Louisiana teen traveled to the West Bank to learn about his roots. He was shot dead.
Surely the Biden administration will take issue to the senseless murder of an American citizen, right?
Edit: I guess they didn't even take that much issue to India assassination a US national on US soil (or a Canadian national on Canadian soil). Hmm.

Next generation of billionaires collect more wealth from inheritance than from work, says UBS
The problem is that wealth correlates directly with power in the West. You'll never see a Western billionaire get Jack Ma'd, and that's the problem: Western billionaires have less accountability and more rights than the average citizen.

What is the International Court of Justice and why does it matter?
If a country fails to perform the obligations incumbent upon it under a judgment, the only remaining recourse is to turn to the Security Council, which can vote on a resolution, per the UN Charter. This happened in a case brought by Nicaragua against the United States in 1984, demanding reparations for the US support for Contra rebels.
The ICJ ruled in Nicaragua’s favour, but the US refused to accept the finding. Nicaragua then took the matter to the Security Council, where a relevant resolution was vetoed by the United States.
