Feel the full weight of international law : U.N. Jurist Calls for Pope to be Tried in International Court

U.N. Jurist Calls for Pope to be Tried in International Court
(CNSNews.com) "“ A United Nations jurist and former war crimes judge has called for the "full weight" of international law to be brought against Pope Benedict XVI because of sexual abuse cases involving some Catholic priests, calling into question the Vatican's claim that the pope is immune from legal proceedings because he is ahead of state.
The judge, British human rights lawyer Geoffrey Robertson, is currently a member of the U.N. Internal Justice Council and a former appellate judge on the U.N Special Court for Sierra Leone. Robertson said that the Vatican "should feel the full weight of international law" in an April 2 commentary in Britain's The Guardian.
"[T]he Holy See can no longer ignore international law, which now counts the widespread or systematic sexual abuse of children as a crime against humanity," Robertson wrote. "The anomalous claim of the Vatican to be a state "“ and of the pope to be head of state and hence immune from legal action "“ cannot stand up to scrutiny."
Robertson challenged the Vatican's contention that it is a sovereign country, saying that because the Church lacks the traditional requirements of controlling territory and having a population, it is not really a country.
