The US, Europeans, and most of the rest of the world are boycotting the International Court of Justice hearings at The Hague on the issue of Israel's security fence. The Court is conducting these proceedings without the consent of both parties. In other words, The Court is claiming jurisdiction in a dispute which has not been submitted to it, as if it were the instrument of a global sovereign power higher than any individual state.

Not only does this hearing display the politicization of the UN under Annan's rule, but check—out the countries that are upholding the correctness of this "justice" tribunal. Few permit justice in their own nations:  A who's who of states that practice religious discrimination, support terror, allow slavery, murder their own citizens, and other human rights travesties: scheduled speak before the 15 judges are Jordan, Algeria, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Cuba, Belize, South Africa, Madagascar, Senegal, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Malaysia.
