I tend to oppose anything with the word international in it or anyhow involved or implied in it, such as multi-lateral free-trade agreements, which by their natures would have to be run and regulated by unelected and unaccountable international bodies.SecondComingOfBasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336586430250490679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-75804014796635833022010-04-09T09:50:49.976-04:002010-04-09T09:50:49.976-04:00Bill,

The article 23 of the Organic Law that regulates the action of Spanish judges was <a href="http://noticias.juridicas.com/base_datos/Admin/lo6-1985.l1t1.html#a23" rel="nofollow">modified last year</a>. Now the article actually in force says regarding this issue:<br /><br /><i>Sin perjuicio de lo que pudieran disponer los tratados y convenios internacionales suscritos por España, para que puedan conocer los Tribunales españoles de los anteriores delitos deberá quedar acreditado que sus presuntos responsables se encuentran en España o que existen víctimas de nacionalidad española, o constatarse algún vínculo de conexión relevante con España y, en todo caso, que en otro país competente o en el seno de un Tribunal internacional no se ha iniciado procedimiento que suponga una investigación y una persecución efectiva, en su caso, de tales hechos punibles.</i><br /><br />So, it only lets Spanish judges know about crimes when the alleged criminals are Spanish nationals or have any other connection with Spain (for example, damaging Spanish interests in foreign countries). It also excludes the cases in which other State is competent to know about them or when an international institution has began an investigation on those crimes.<br /><br />Spanish judges have so much to do inside to lose time finding crimes on foreign countries. <br /><br />Regards.Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401194828470084358noreply@blogger.com
