Prophetic words

As one looks at the state of politics around the world today, the words of William Hague, former leader of the UK’s Conservative Party and Foreign Secretary in David Cameron’s government, have never rung more true:

“Governments that block the aspirations of their people, that steal or are corrupt, that oppress and torture, or that deny freedom of expression and human rights, should bear in mind that they will find it increasingly hard to escape the judgement of their own people, or where warranted, the reach of international law.”
Lawrence Tilney
