The signing of the Hague Mutual Legal Assistance treaty is a landmark moment for international cooperation between States in criminal matters. It provides a framework for sharing of information, collaboration in investigations, collection and preservation of evidence as well as transfer of detained persons. #criminallaw #internationalcooperation

After thorough analysis I realised that there are two basic and fundamental structural defects in the constitution of UN which are 1. Veto Power System for the permanent members of the security council of UN. Since there is a body of all stakeholders in the form of General Assembly wherein all member- countries of the UN are represented there is absolutely no need of Security Council to accept or reject the resolutions passed by General Assembly. As such Security Council should be dissolved forthwith. 2. All member countries of UN are not signatory to the Rome statute consequently some countries are not under the International Criminal Court (ICC) whereas all the member countries have to be under the jurisdiction of ICC so that peace prevails in the world. . Due to these defects America has made a mockery of the UN as it is reduced to a puppet in the hands of the America. Consequently America with some allies have invaded several Muslim countries like Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya and looted several countries then leaving these countries after the loot is complete. Presently America with the help of Israel (both countries are not under the jurisdiction of ICC) is demolishing, doing cold blooded mass murders, devastation, destruction , displacement, ethenic cleansing, murder especially of children and women and genocide and the whole world including the UN have to be mute spectators of all this and nobody has the powers to question them because of these defects in the constitution of UN. More than seven decades have passed by but the above-mentioned defects in the constitution of UN were not rectified. Non-rectification of these defects has created a very grave situation as instead of peace maintaining organisation UN became a weapon of blackmailing and means of invading and looting the rich countries by some countries which were having the veto power also besides these countries were not signatory to the Rome statute consequently these countries were not under the jurisdiction of ICC. As the result these countries became law per se and virtually became terrorist countries of the world because they were not answerable to any forum for whatever they do. Now the climax of lawlessness has reached in Palestine where total devastation, destruction, cold blooded mass murders, genocide, ethenic cleansing, kidnapping and rape of innocent and unarmed civilians is being done and the whole world including UN have to be mute spectators because of the basic and fundamental defects in the constitution of UN have not been rectified. This is the highest time these defects are rectified by the General Assembly. Let General Assembly wake up after decades of slumber and rectify the defects as proposed above.

International Treaties: Treaties are international agreements that are signed (ratified) by various countries. Countries that sign international treaties especially with United Nations - are then expected to apply them in their own countries. The court don't have to follow treaties, but when a country signs and ratifies a treaty, it means that the country is saying it supports what the treaty stands for, so the country laws and policies should not contradict such treaties. #GovernmentofCanada #Governmentofontario #UnitedNations #SupremeCourt #courtofappeal #Provincial #Federal #territorial #Commonwealth #treaties #internationaltreaties #Country #Canada #worldwide #law #justice #BenjaminEdoja #Edoja #Edokpe
