The Third Geneva Convention is probably the most recognized and important treaty concerning prisoners of war to ever be put down on paper that is recognized by the world over. Though this treaty is very thorough and complete in its wording regarding those that are affected and bound by its wording, there still is one major defect in the treaty that needs to be rectified and dealt with. This flaw is that there is no independent court body or commission that oversees abuses by parties against others in regards to their mistreatment or torture. Persons who find themselves at the hands of captors only have international courts or commissions as well as domestic courts to hear their cases. This can cause an untimely delay in hearing these cases,

Despite sufficient groundwork for the ICC laid out through the Rome Statute and amended to include aggression in Kenya in 2006-2007, the ICC in many nation’s eyes has been a failure.

Multilateralism is the principle of participation by three or more parties, especially by the governments of different countries. According to Dieter’s opinion Multilateralism is at fault, as he believes that it doesn’t personally benefit him. Dieter argues that he doesn’t think he should have to pay taxes for something that doesn’t benefit him, and explains that the United Nations merely brings about trade disputes, military conflicts, trade deficits, and expensive foreign commitments. Dieter’s opinion is true at some level, and there are many others that agree with him for their own personal reasons and political beliefs, but I disagree because we have organizations that we created to sort with issues such as these.

The idea of peremptory norms stems from the belief that certain actions are so heinous that derogation is not allowed. The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties shows the importance of peremptory norms in both Article 53 and 64. Article 53 states that a treaty is void if, at the time of its conclusion, it conflicts with a peremptory norm. Article 64 explains that treaties,
