One of two things is true:There is no clause for secession in the EU.
-You dont know any better
-You didn't think I knew better.
Either way...
Article I-60
Voluntary withdrawal from the Union
1. Any Member State may decide to withdraw from the Union in accordance with its own constitutional requirements.

Your are completely ignoring the world geo-political and military situation.I do not agree with the first clause. You do not need to sign a treaty to reduce arms before you sign a treaty to get rid of arms.
You can do that if you want, but it destorys any credibility your argument here might have had.
Other than this being BS -- all the arms limitation/reduction agreements were all initiated by the US -- it's not the fault of the US that the Russians haven't given up their nukes.And the second is correct, but the US has not urged other states to fulfill their obligations.
There are SO many counterexamples of this, that I cannot help but laugh at your statement.Compliance with international law is NOT voluntary. You MUST do it.
Absolutely it does. If laws arent enforced, or have no mechanism to be enforced, they are meaningless. You can cry all you want about a law being broken, but if there is no enforceable consequnce -- so what?The lack of force behind a law does not mean the law does not exist. Nor does it make it irrelevant.
The ICC itself thinks otherwise. Its charter specifically metnions 'state parties' over which it has jurisdiction.This is simply not the way the world works anymore. The ICC has jurisdiction over the world and most countries acknowledge that.

See article 4, 11, 12, 13.
There are presently only 105 state perties.
You are, therefore, wrong. The ICC not only cannot, but DOES not claim jurisdicition over states that have not agreed to allow it to do so.
Doesnt matter. You cannot force someone to do something against their will when they have agreed to do what you tell them to do.Yes...they gave their consent to do so in the PAST. And NOW the commands are binding and are NOT voluntary.
