I'd have to vote "yes". (Shock! Surprise!)
If the choice is between responsibility and accountability versus every-man-for-himself I will obviously choose the former. Things work best when there are checks and balances...nations included.
I am firmly in favor of a very high degree of sovereignty. But, just like libertarians constantly tell me, freedom and rights end when they negatively impact someone else. How Iranians treat their adulterers is one thing, not abiding by things like treaties is something else.
