U.N. Warns Kim Jong-un he may have be charged with crimes
against humanity
Although there is some creditability to the idea that such a
warning might have no teeth: It is unlikely
Mr. Jong-un will
willingly submit to any summons by the U.N.; then comes the daunting
task as to who will go get him and if anyone should/will in the first
place. There is also talk that the only end this warning has will to
further hurt nuclear program talks.
Despite the above, I agree with the decision to issue such a
warning. In my opinion, it all has to do with accountability. In
countries like North Korea, their officials have no accountability
(at least none to their people, which is arguable the only important kind
of accountability, with regards to a public official).
By issuing a warning, be it lacking, be it weak, you show that
leaders with no accountability are still accountable. It shows that
the world is watching and it at least puts some fear in those leaders
hearts that something might be done about them.
Thank you for reading. Discussion is encouraged.
