States around the world will be sleeping a little more soundly at the news that Spain’s court on international justice, which has seen communist China exposed and criticized over its occupation of Tibet, Israel’s actions in Gaza, and the United States condemned for its brutal treatment of those held at Guantanamo, looks set to be closed http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/273177
