Open question to the forum:

assume that you have a daughter named Svetlana and your last name is X. Someone (let's call him Larry F.) comes along and registers a domain named SvetlanaX-is-a-slattern.com, and Photoshops your daughter's head on a bunch of female porn stars engaged in what porn stars do for a living.

You take Larry F. to (U.S.) court and legally (and justifiably) win a judgment compelling him to cease and desist. Larry F. closes his website and moves his operation to Belarus (or finds a registered agent to do so--no need to complicate the hypothetical), creating a website named SvetlanaX-is-a-slattern.by. How do you propose enforcing your (U.S.) cease and desist order?

Tell me how it is the U.N.’s jurisdiction to interfere? It matters not who brought it to the U.N., or that it was even brought to the U.N. That is what is the question here.

Personally; I would track the bastard down and shoot him.

Here’s an open question to 1rudeboy.

A global organization has moved into your village on a “peace-keeping” mission. Your 8 year old daughter (or son) comes home crying. He/She is bleeding from the nether regions and has obviously been molested. You later learn several Moroccan soldiers on loan to the UN have taken turns raping your child. They claim they gave your child a jar of pickles in exchange for their services as a prostitute. Would you gather friends and neighbors to help you kill them or would you take them on your own?

It isn’t enforcable outside of US territory, as well it shouldn’t be.

Assuming that Belarus is a party to the Hague Convention (which I sort of think that it is), your U.S. judgment is enforcible in Belarus just as it is here. The Hague Convention requires that legitimate judgments obtained in member countries be enforced in all other member countries.

So the answer to your question is simple: you take your U.S. judgment to a Belarus court and then Belarus enforces it.
