Irrelevant list[edit]

Hi- The list on other nations that have objected to the ICC is clearly off topic on this case; the fact that the US invoked the Lotus principle regarding the ICC just barely so. 130.64.110.168 14:49, 2 April 2007 (UTC)cdoten[reply]

I agree with the irrelevance of other nations objecting to the ICC is irrelevant, and indeed, has the effect (if not with the intent) of disparaging the US for failing to be involved in the ICC. The use of the Lotus principle to oppose the ICC, however, is relevant. --146.201.173.194 01:21, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The list of countries is clearly irrelevant, why haven't you deleted it? Is that bad etiquette? Also, though the use of the lotus principle to oppose the ICC is probably relevant, it doesn't say how it's used... thus the information is useless. if anybody knows could you please add it? --Ondra2 (talk) 19:51, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lotus principle not overruled by the 1958 High Seas Convetion[edit]

The Lotus principle as currently described in the article is essentially a rule to say that when a sovereign state is not explicitly prohibited from acting in a certain way by international law, it is allowed to so act, again under international law. Again, as currently described in the article, the 1958 High Seas Convention gave an explicit rule about which sovereign state could exercise jurisdiction over sailors on the high seas. To overrule a principle is to make it so it is no longer a rule or no longer applies. In this case, however, the convention does not overrule the principle itself, it just changes the result of the principle's application with regard to exercising jurisdiction on sailors in the high seas.
