What makes you think any other organization given such privilege would do any better with it than the US? Even if they started out with good intentions, that kind of power will inevitably corrupt them.
Embrace multipolarity. Benevolent, wise and just unipolarity will never happen.
- pphysch 3y agoInternational doesn't mean unipolar. Effective international institutions are multilateral in nature.
- mcpackieh 3y agoIf you have in mind the kind of international courts that already exist, e.g. the ICC,... well they already exist. I took your emphasis on "effective" to imply that you would like international courts to have substantially more power than presently exists. With enough power to truly be effective, that court would become the unipolar power. It would attract the power hungry like moths to a lightbulb.
