Judgment
The very long judgment first listed 291 points. Among them that the United States had been involved in the "unlawful use of force." The alleged violations included attacks on Nicaraguan facilities and naval vessels, the mining of Nicaraguan ports, the invasion of Nicaraguan air space, and the training, arming, equipping, financing and supplying of forces (the "Contras") and seeking to overthrow Nicaragua's Sandinista government. This was followed by the statements that the judges voted on.

Famous quotes containing the word judgment:
“For why should my liberty be subject to the judgment of someone else’s conscience?”
—Bible: New Testament, 1 Corinthians 10:29.
Paul. His belief is that, out of charity, one should not offend the conscience of another.
“Why, all the souls that were were forfeit once,
And He that might the vantage best have took
Found out the remedy. How would you be
If He which is the top of judgment should
But judge you as you are? O, think on that,
And mercy then will breathe within your lips,
Like man new made.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I would not trust a mouse to a woman if a man’s judgment could be had.”
