No one wants to get a sovereign country involved in these issues if they can avoid it, because that is an even more giant can of worms. Because then it’s ’whose laws again?’.

And all these matters cross every international boundary as a matter of course.

Unfortunately, it is also enabling this particular situation.

Not that the rest of the world would be feeling great if this was all based out of Washington DC right now eh? Or Beijing. Or Paris. (Depending on who they are)
