Kwiminyaka emihlanu eyadlulayo, iPalamente yase-Bhritane yathi hayi kuhlaselo lwaseSyria ukuba inkulumbuso yayo yayifuna ukujoyina umongameli wase-US ekusunguleni. Elo nyathelo, lidityaniswe noxinzelelo loluntu, libe luncedo ekwenzeni iNkongolo yase-US icacise ukuba iyakuthi hayi nayo, ukuba bekunyanzelisiwe ukuba - uyazi - ivume ukuba ikhona kwaye wenze nantoni na. Kwaye oko kwakungundoqo ekuthinteleni uhlaselo.
Ke, xa inkulumbuso yaseBhritane kule veki yazimanya nomongameli wase-US ekusunguleni imfazwe nangona amalungu ahlukeneyo ePalamente kunye neCongress elumkisa ngokuchasene nayo, umntu unokucinga ukuba iNkulumbuso uMay wayezifaka engxakini yezomthetho enzulu kunoMongameli uTrump. Hayi akunjalo.
Ukuvalwa kwemfazwe okufunyenwe kwi-United Nations Charter kunye ne-Kellogg-Briand Pact kusebenza ngokuthe ngqo ngokulinganayo kuzo zonke izizwe ngaphandle kwabathengisi bezixhobo abahlanu abakhulu kunye nabenzi bemfazwe emhlabeni, kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo akunjalo nakweyiphi na kwezi zintlanu kuba banamandla e-veto phezu. nantoni na i-UN okanye abantu abaxhomekeke kuyo - kuquka iinkundla - ukuzama ukuyenza.
Kodwa ukwaphulwa kweBhritane kumthetho wamazwe ngamazwe ekuxhaseni uhlaselo luka-2003 lwase-Iraq kube ngumbindi weziphakamiso ezixhaswa yiNkokheli ePhikisayo uJeremy Corbyn zokutshutshisa owayesakuba yiNkulumbuso uTony Blair. Kwaye ubukho bemithetho enjalo iye yamkelwa ngokubanzi kwaye kwaxoxwa ngayo e-UK kule minyaka idlulileyo. Xa ubukho bemithetho enjalo benza kube isiqingatha sesivakalisi ukusuka kwi-ACLU kule veki, ngokuchaseneyo, kwakuyinto enqabileyo. Akukho malungu eNkongolo kulwazi lwam akhankanye i-UN Charter okanye i-Kellogg-Briand Pact okanye inyaniso yokuba imfazwe ayikho mthethweni kungakhathaliseki ukuba ngubani oyisungulayo.
EUnited States, incoko ilawulwa yinto yokuba uMgaqo-siseko wase-US unika iCongress, kungekhona umongameli, amandla okwenza imfazwe. Kodwa andizange ndifumane nawuphi na umhlali wase-US ondixelele ukuba ukuba i-US iqhushumbisiwe luhlanga lwangaphandle, uya kunika igalelo lephulo lempuku nokuba uhlaselo luyalelwe sisigqeba okanye ipalamente. Kwaye ingcamango yokuba imithetho evala imfazwe igxininisekile yinto yokuba uMgaqo-siseko wamandulo (ukuba ungcwele) ukhankanya imfazwe uhlanjululwe yinto yokuba isigwebo esifanayo esinika amandla emfazwe yeCongress sikwanika amandla okuqesha abaphangi - leyo iCongress. uye wavuma ngaphezu kwenkulungwane uye wavalwa, njengoko ukuqesha abameli eSyria nakwezinye iindawo kuthathwa njengokwamkelekileyo ngokupheleleyo.
Le meko yentetho eUnited States iqinisekisa uluntu ukuba yiCongress kuphela enegunya elisemthethweni lokumisa imfazwe. Kwaye iCongress, ewe, yenza elo bango ngelixa isala ukuphinda ithathelwe amanyathelo kulo, ukuba inqumle inkxaso-mali okanye iqalise ukubekwa ityala okanye yalela imfazwe. Enyanisweni uSenator Corker nguye iphakamisa ukuyikhupha ngokusesikweni yonke inkxwaleko ngokubhengeza ukuba oomongameli bangenza into abayenzileyo ukususela ngo-1941, oko kukuthi nokuba yintoni na isihogo abayifunayo - kwaye uMgaqo-siseko ugwetywe.
Intetho esecaleni elinganiselweyo ixhalabele ukuba umongameli mhlawumbi unememo evela kwiOfisi yeNgcebiso yezoMthetho ezenza ngathi uchaza ukuba kutheni imfazwe nganye entsha okanye ukunyuka kusemthethweni, kwaye uyigcina iyimfihlo. Inkxalabo yam ngale nto kukuba nayiphi na inkxalabo malunga nayo ibonakala ngathi icebisa ukuba ibalulekile. Akukho memo inokwenza ulwaphulo-mthetho lube semthethweni, kwaye kufuneka siyeke ukudlala ngathi lunokwenzeka.
Ngeli xesha, eLondon, ummeli woxolo osemthethweni eCorbyn, kwakwelona lizwe liyilwe kakubi, akashukumi ukugxeka inkulumbuso nanjengoko amalungu eNkongolo ebesithi ukuqhushumbisa iSyria akunakwenzeka. Kunoko unguye iphakamisa wokudala umthetho wamagunya emfazwe, umthetho ofuna ivoti yePalamente phambi kwayo nayiphi na imfazwe.
Ukuba oko kuyakumisa imfazwe, ndimele. Ukuba uMgaqo-siseko wase-US awuzange usebenze, kwaye uMthetho waMagunya eMfazwe wase-US we-1973 awuzange usebenze, akuthethi ukuba uMthetho waMagunya eMfazwe waseBritane awukwazi. Ukuba ide isebenze i-1% yexesha ilungile. Kodwa ngaba kufuneka singanikeli ngqalelo kwimpembelelo yexesha elide yokwenza ulwaphulo-mthetho luqheleke ngokuzikhathaza ngokuba ngubani oza kulugunyazisa? Ngaba akufanelanga ukuba, okoko nje sicebisa izinto ezinjalo, sinikele ingqalelo elinganayo kuLudlow Amendment (isindululo samiswa nguMongameli uFranklin Roosevelt ebeza kufuna ivoti yi-Ludlow Amendment. kawonke wonke ngaphambi kokuba naliphi na isebe likarhulumente liqalise imfazwe)?
Nokuba yeyiphi na inkxalabo yam, ndiza kuthatha isindululo sikaCorbyn sedemokhrasi ngaphezulu kobukhosi bukaCorker nangayiphi na imini.
Ngaba umthetho unokuba sisixhobo sokuthintela ukubulawa kwabantu abaninzi ngokusesikweni? Kubonakala ngathi ukuchas’ umthetho kusicombululo. Kodwa ibaluleke kangakanani intsimi yonke? Ikhangeleka njani ngokwembono yabo bakwisiphelo esamkelekileyo seemfazwe nezivumelwano? Esi sihloko siya kuphononongwa kwihlabathi jikelele Nkomfa eToronto ngoSeptemba ndikhuthaza abantu ukuba baye.
