Far from being the creative legal instrument for bringing alleged war criminals to justice like its supporters have spun it as, this newly created structure is emblematic of the West’s so-called “rules-based order” wherein this collection of countries seeks to unilaterally impose its will onto all others under faux legal pretexts.

Corrupting The European Parliament: Qatar’s Sports Diplomacy
How utterly fitting that it should happen at this time. The Qatar FIFA World Cup is coming to a close, a tournament nakedly bought by a state keen to be a standard bearer, not merely of the Arab world, but the world of shameless sportswashing. Despite being criticised for its […]
The EU Parliament’s Anti-Russian Resolution Is Dangerous
Russia is a major world power, and if the EU can attempt to bully it in such a dangerous way, then there’s nothing stopping the bloc from doing the same to comparatively weaker countries. The European Parliament (EP) passed a resolution on Thursday threatening very serious consequence against Russia if […]
For The European Union, The Time Has Come To Use Force
The new European Commission has clearly stated its project in the era of US withdrawal: to restore Western Europe’s dominance over the rest of the world from the 16th to the 19th century.

The European Union, In The Moment And In The Long Run
The EU citizens, who are supposed to elect their parliament on May 25-26, are getting ready to make the wrong choice. By concentrating on their immediate problems, they are hesitating between several different priorities. If they analysed their history over a long period, they would discover the origins of their social, economic and political problems, and without any doubt, would decide differently.
A Powerless Spain And The Crises Of ‘Old Europe’
This year, the European Parliament could face structural changes related to the trends being observed in individual European countries, first and foremost in the countries of ‘Old Europe’. If, in the battle between “Europeans” and “nationalists”, the latter prove victorious, the next European Parliament risks being the most integration-sceptic since 1979.
