| Message | We may be able to support this, though we are concerned with the proposal that disputes be resolved in an 'international court' - we don't believe in the validity of a world government, and won't support any measures pertaining to such a body. But we can certainly support the rules mapped out in this agreement, albeit with some suspicions and reservations. |
