• Hay muchas cosas de mi destino que no puedo controlar, pero otras sí caen bajo mi jurisdicción. Puedo decidir cómo empleo mi tiempo, con quién me relaciono, con quién comparto mi cuerpo y mi vida y mi dinero y mi energía. Puedo elegir lo que puedo leer y comer y estudiar. Puedo elegir cómo voy a considerar las circunstancias desafortunadas de mi vida: si las veré como maldiciones o como oportunidades. Puedo elegir mis palabras y el tono de voz con el que me dirijo a los demás. Y, sobre todo, puedo elegir mis pensamientos.

  Elizabeth Gilbert

• It is on balance desirable to encourage Universal Jurisdiction, and to create pressure from below to make application of such jurisdiction as consistent as possible. I think this will act as a deterrent in some situations, although this impact will never be acknowledged by those affected as it would only embolden civil society to intensify its pressures.

• A government is a compulsory territorial monopolist of ultimate decision-making (jurisdiction) and, implied in this, a compulsory territorial monopolist of taxation. That is, a government is the ultimate arbiter, for the inhabitants of a given territory, regarding what is just and what is not, and it can determine unilaterally, i.e., without requiring the consent of those seeking justice or arbitration, the price that justice-seekers must pay to the government for providing this service.
