Under Germany's Code of Crimes Against International Law, which was introduced in 2002, German courts have universal jurisdiction in war crimes and crimes against humanity.

This is like Michael Jackson giving himself universal worldwide jurisdiction in prosecuting child molestation cases.

So why are they not excercising this fabulous power against the Saddams, The Bin Ladens and the other terrorists... Oh, I guess those don't count, those are acts AGAINST the west. Fair game.

My thoughts exactly. Notice the year of this universal law?

A slight correction. Germany is NOT claiming universal jurisdiction in war crimes and crimes against humanity. Only, if the offender or victim is German citizen. So, kill a German in Zimbabwe and face murder trial in Germany.
