Your comment is self-contradicting. If you expect solutions to work at a democratic level, you cannot advocate for a solution where a random third-party is able to force it's will upon any country. For instance, where do you fit in your mental model a scenario where a democratic country decides via referendum to meet all it's energy needs with coal?
- rcbdev 3y agoIt entirely depends on who you think "we" is in "we should make X illegal".

- rcbdev 3y agoThe often proposed EU with qualified majority voting and without individual veto rights would be exactly this kind of system.
