From Tony Green, Ipswich, Suffolk, UK
Much as I would like to see Anthony Carmona’s idea of a global environmental court come to fruition, I fear the precedents suggest it would fail. We already have an International Criminal Court to prosecute war crimes and related offences, but nations that commit these often simply refuse to accept its jurisdiction. Sadly, any global environmental court will fail for exactly the same reason (8 March, p 17).
