It's particularly bad because it's a pattern that people need to know about. Being trapped politically somewhere like that happened to both Snowden and Assange.
That fact that this is legal is... sketchy. Same with Shamima Begum, for that matter.
Maybe people could disagree on specific examples, but the principle seems fine. US passports say in them that they can be revoked for a variety of reasons.
As far as it’s predecessor my guess if you are referencing the League of Nations rather than the international military tribunals that conducted the Nuremberg Trials that hung 10 Nazi’s with ropes to short to break their necks and choked them to death.
Assange is an Australian citizen, and the US want d to lock bim up for publishing leaked information, while Snowden id an US citizen and leaked the info by himself.
