Are we going to have an international police force? I think so.

So I came across this article thought it might be of interest for those who want to further digest the implications of the Paris attacks recently.

Is it time to create international legal unit to fight terrorism?

The court’s creation would require an international treaty or a binding act of the United Nations to ensure its universal jurisdiction. Most likely, it would be adopted through a binding resolution of the UN Security Council, with the establishment of the International Criminal Tribunals for Yugoslavia and Rwanda and the Special Tribunal for Lebanon serving as precedents.

To be sure, the creation of such a court would face difficulties, the most important of which remains the lack of consensus on what constitutes the crime of terrorism. We propose adopting a “common-denominator approach.” In addition to encompassing the acts agreed upon in existing sectorial conventions, the ICT’s jurisdiction would be based on customary international law, taking into consideration intent (was the act intended to spread fear or coerce authorities), as well as the crime’s gravity and international character.

Establishing the ICT and imbuing it with legitimacy will require the support of civil society, academia and the general public. Obtaining this support will not be easy, particularly at a time when policymakers face so many other economic and strategic challenges. But we believe that a powerful legal instrument in the global fight against terrorism would quickly prove indispensable — easily justifying the effort devoted to its creation.

I personally have no problem with this, I find that this ICT is an inevitable reaction to an already out of control problem.
We already have become so economically integrated with trade deals like TPP and We have alliances like NATO. IS any of this really that bad? Only time will tell as the next chapter in humanity's story continues.

What say you ATS community?

Nah this is how they will just enforce military patrols as " extra security " why reinvent the wheel when you have a perfectly good 5th wheel to use...

I wouldn't be surprised to see attacks carried out on US soil and a stronger, successful push to remove the 2nd amendment.

Gotta wonder though, is all this in preparation for the control process that will need to be in place when we're all that much closer together when global flooding happens.

World isn't getting bigger, it's growing smaller while the people's size grows bigger. Gotta learn to control all those new faces somehow, fear can work wonders as a cattle prod.

There was another thread that brought up the good point, that if ISIS really wanted to stay around, they'd stick to their own land and rule their space without spreading out and drawing more attention from the bee hives.

The very fact that they're pulling an " Al CIAda " really tells you what's going on, they are the fear tactic to control the masses.

Need a boogieman to fear all the time, or else we won't turn to the government to further dominate us all.

Don't we really already kind of have that? It's not law enforcement though, it's military.

The point is to dilute the peoples of the world so they're all the same, under the same local [yet international] authority.

Will they have drills and be the first responders to every terrorist event?

It would likely be illegal under the U.S. Constitution. I certainly would never support something that allows foreign LEOs to operate domestically. We have enough problem with the thugs we already have.

Oh. Well then, no. I don't like this idea.

We already do...it's nomenclature is the United States.

It would be nice if they retired early and focused on the golden years, but it looks like that pullout is years down the road.

Are you referring to NATO? It only deals with the member countries involved supplying security and military aid. I'm guessing the ICT will encompass all aspects of security; Bureaucracy,Military and Law enforcement. I'm a little fearful that the sociopaths who already have power might get behind this.

We have for some time, it's called Interpol..

To keep Interpol as politically neutral as possible, its charter forbids it, at least in theory, from undertaking interventions or activities of a political, military, religious, or racial nature or involving itself in disputes over such matters. Its work focuses primarily on public safety and battling terrorism, crimes against humanity, environmental crime, genocide, war crimes, organized crime, piracy, illicit traffic in works of art, illicit drug production, drug trafficking, weapons smuggling, human trafficking, money laundering, child pornography, white-collar crime, computer crime, intellectual property crime and corruption.

Yes but even in this same Wiki article;

Interpol is not a supranational law enforcement agency and has no agents who are able to make arrests.[17] Instead, it is an international organization that functions as a network of criminal law enforcement agencies from different countries. The organization thus functions as an administrative liaison among the law enforcement agencies of the member countries, providing communications and database assistance, assisted via the central headquarters in Lyon, France

Now that you bring up Interpol, it is possible that Interpol may have had a hand in the terrorist attacks in France. They have a lot to gain from another attack in their home country.

Never let a good crisis go to waste. Futher NWO roll out coming up. betcha they'll have

No we won't have an international police force as national jurisdiction would make it impossible for it to run. For example, they would have to hand in their guns when they entered the UK(!) and their powers would need to be written into national legislation but be constrained by e.g. due local process.

The best we would get is for national police forces to work closer together. This happens to some extent through bodies like Interpol.

The question reminds me of a book I've read, see Tom Clancy Rainbow Six

That's an interesting idea, but I don't know whether in this time of international turmoil it could or would get much traction. The UN might well take up the idea as a way for them to begin to exercise some form of "world policing" authority, but the problem with the idea is that its near impossible, particularly in the US, to get member nations to accept the idea of extra-territorial jurisdiction. And those jurisdictional issues are terribly thorny as we've seen in the US.

What I do foresee is a possible really bad effect on tourism and the imposition of serious travel restrictions going forward. This isn't the time to be investing in Airline stocks. What with the internet and Skype and such, people really "need" to travel for business purposes far less than they did years ago. This could well portend a serious world wide economic downturn.
