Ukutshutshisa uTony Blair okanye uGeorge W. Bush okanye abanye abajongene nokuhlaselwa kobugebengu kwi-Iraq, okanye amanye amagosa aphezulu kwiminye imfazwe yakutshanje, ayifuni iNkundla yezoPhulo lwaMazwe ngamazwe (ICC).
Kuqhelekileyo ukugxininisa ukuba i-ICC ayikwazi ukujongana nolwaphulo-mthetho olugqwesileyo, nangona kunjalo ngexesha elizayo. I-United States nayo ikholelwa ukuba ikhuselekile ekutshutshisweni njengelungu elingelona ICC.
Kodwa oku kugxila kwi-ICC luphawu lobuthathaka kumbutho wehlabathi wobulungisa onezinye izixhobo ezifumanekayo. Xa aboyisiweyo beMfazwe yesibini (II) yeHlabathi babetshutshiswa, kwakungekho ICC. Ubukho be-ICC abuthinteli nantoni na eyenziwayo eNuremberg okanye eTokyo, apho ulwaphulo-mthetho lokwenza imfazwe lwalutshutshiswa ngaboyisi beMfazwe yesibini (II) yeHlabathi phantsi kweKellogg-Briand Pact.
Akukho nokuba khona kwe-Charter ye-UN ukuphosa nayiphina imithintelo. Ukuhlasela kwe-Iraq (kunye nayo yonke imfazwe yaseNtshona yamuva) kwakungekho mthethweni phantsi kwe-Charter ye-UN njengoko ngaphantsi kweKellogg-Briand.
Kwaye akufuneki ukuba umntu abuyele eNuremberg ukuze enze umzekelo. Inkundla ezikhethekileyo ezazenzelwe iYugoslavia kunye neRwanda zatshutshisa umlo phantsi kwegama elithi "uhlanga." Uluvo lokuba iNtshona ayinakho ukwenza ubuhlanga (akusekho) lubandlululo olunyulu. Isikali kunye nohlobo lokubulala olwenziwe e-Iraqis ngumdibaniso ka-2003 ilingana ncam nengcaciso yokubulawa kwabantu njengesiqhelo esetyenziswa kwabo bangengabo baseNtshona.
Inkundla ekhethekileyo eRwanda nayo imodeli yokujongana nobuxoki kunye neentengiso ezijoliswe ngolu hlobo lweNgxelo yeChilcot. Njengoko e-Nuremberg, abapapashi baxoshwa eRwanda. Ngelixa i-Fox News iziphathamandla kufuneka ngokuqinisekileyo zitshutshise ngenxa yokuxhatshazwa ngokwesondo apho idibene khona, kwihlabathi elifanelekileyo apho umthetho wokusetyenziswa komthetho usetyenziswe ngokulinganayo, babeza kubhekana neentlawulo ezongezelelweyo ngokunjalo. Inkohlakalo yenkohlakalo ingekho mthethweni phantsi kweSivumelwano samazwe ngamazwe ngamalungelo oLuntu kunye nezoPolitiko njengoko imfazwe yayingaphantsi kweKellogg-Briand.
Into esisweleyo asibobuchule obusemthethweni bokutshutshisa, kodwa amandla okuthanda kunye nolawulo lwentando yesininzi lwamaziko. Kwimfazwe okanye ukubulawa kwabantu, njengokungcungcuthekiswa kunye nezinye izenzo zenkohlakalo ezenza "ububi babo bonke," sijongana nolwaphulo-mthetho olunokutshutshiswa kuyo nayiphi na inkundla ephantsi kolawulo lwendalo iphela. Ithuba lokuba iinkundla zase-US okanye zase-UK zizokuwusingatha ngokwazo lo mbandela kudala zikhutshiwe, zikhulula iinkundla zalo naliphi na ilizwe ukuba zisebenze.
Ngoku, andichasani nokutshutshisa uBlair phambi kukaBush. Kwaye andichasani nokutshutshisa uBlair ngezinto ezincinci zolwaphulo-mthetho phambi kokuba luphelele. Kodwa ukuba sifuna ukuphelisa imfazwe, siya kulandela la manyathelo amancinci ngokucaciswa okucacileyo kokuqinisekileyo malunga nokuba kunokwenzeka ntoni ukuba besinayo intando.
Xa iFransi, iRashiya, iChina, iJamani, iChile, kunye nabanye abaninzi bekunxamnye nolwaphulo-mthetho lokuhlasela i-Iraq, bayavuma uxanduva abaye bawayeka ukususela xa befuna ukutshutshiswa. Ngaba bayamoyikela ngaphambili? Ngaba bakhetha ukuba imfazwe ingatshutshisi ngenxa yeemfazwe zabo? Khawucinge ukuba ukungahambi kakuhle kwinto engakanani, kunye nokungazi kakuhle umonakalo abawenzayo kwihlabathi ngokuvumela abafudumalayo bahambe ngokukhululeka.
