78. If He Got It Passed, Sir, It Would Be Legal
The United Nations is not rooted in Common Law, and has no division of branches designed to check one another's authority. There is nothing analagous to a constitutional court to review on appeal from some affected party in the U.N. structure.

This may be said to be rooted in recognition of political and military reality, namely, that who would there be to enforce any judgement against a policy or action agreed on without veto by the five leading powers on the globe? For without means of vindication, no right truely exists, and what point could there be to a judgement that could not be enforced?
