Fundamentally, that's the problem with international tribunals: The idea of a court is to have an impartial and fair body render a decision that is binding and enforceable; with the hope that each case sets a precedent that future litigants can use as a guide and rely on.  But when the plaintiff/defendant own the guns, not the court, there is no enforcement.  Of course, one can then reach a multitude of conclusions about that.  Ditto for the UN.  Gaddafi gave an interesting speech about it that I recommend everyone to watch (not to support him), but just to see the points he made.  I saw it once and found it interesting; it angered a lot of people that did not want those institutions criticized.

ICJ

The United States has a troubled relationship with the International Court of Justice, which presides over legal disputes among UN member nations that recognize its jurisdiction. The United States withdrew from the court's compulsory jurisdiction in 1986 after the court ruled it owed Nicaragua war reparations. The United States also disagreed with the court's positions that it failed to fulfill its obligations under the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations in 2005 in cases involving Mexican nationals on death row.  The U.S. uses the court when it wants, and ignores it when it doesn't serve its purposes.
