Historic Movement of Global Impact Human Rights solutions are already codified in 70 years of International Law UN Human Rights Laws are already fully binding upon all countries worldwide The most important Human Rights Laws have never been enforced until now Only International Courts can enforce International Law, because sovereignty prohibits countries from asserting jurisdiction over any other countries The treaty based system is inherently limited by voluntary consent of sponsoring countries, who can opt out of jurisdiction and enforcement ACIJ is based on Statutory Authority of pre-existing UN International Laws No country can escape Universal Jurisdiction of ACIJ under binding UN Laws ACIJ is a historic accomplishment as a next generation Human Rights Court

Priority Need for Enforcement Mechanisms Justice should not only be done, but should be seen to be done. - Lord Chief Justice Viscount Gordon Hewart (1923) International Law imposes a binding obligation on all countries to enforce International Court judgments UN & EU treaty Courts have no enforcement functions, officially consider judgments mere tools for advocacy Average enforcement of UN & EU Human Rights Court judgments is only the 21% rate of voluntary compliance All real enforcement requires Court Orders with strong penalties against governments which fail to enforce Treaty Courts can never do real enforcement, because penalty Orders would cause member countries to opt out and withdraw funding ACIJ as non-governmental non-treaty Court is Free to fully exercise universal jurisdiction with aggressive enforcement, by grass-roots and private funding ACIJ is the 1 st International Court with statutory authority to use the full range of mechanisms for meaningful enforcement
