I’m not disagreeing, but what entity would enforce those global laws?

I vote for angry mob with convenient access to an active volcano.

Who needs a volcano when woodchippers can park right in your driveway.

Remember to load them feet first kids!

Same way laws are enforced now? Each country passing it and the companies needing to comply to continue operations.

Why are they force to comply right now if the laws don’t work?

You’re missing the point.

The ICC only has power in countries that let them have power. If a given country doesn’t feel like doing that, the ICC has precisely zero recourse or ability to enforce.

What should citizens in countries like that (which may or may not be dictatorships, single-party states, theocracies, or some other restrictive, un-democratic, and/or xenophobic form of government) do?

Yes and I’m saying each country should implement it themselves so that we can reach global saturation. That is what I meant in my original response to op.

You are taking what I said out of proportion. Obviously we need Superman to enforce a global ruling hand over mankind.

I was about to say that I'd prefer alien overlords but based on Superman's origin, he's got my vote
