I have found no evidence yet that the Universal House of Justice has sought justice through the highest courts in the world. As futile as the court procedure was with regard to the House of Baha'u'llah in Baghdad, maybe the Universal House of Justice regards the current world courts (the International Criminal Court or Permanent Court of Arbitration ) to be a waste of time so far as seeking justice. But also, the inner affairs of the Faith in Iran would necessarily be exposed in such judicial proceedings which could possibly bring out ex-Baha'is and other anti-Baha'i opinions whose voices would not be appreciated by the Universeral House of Justice in such an adjudication.

The more general status of political situations, however, is that when one group is 'in', ambitious individuals bring up awkward situations. This is one of the dynamics of adversarial and publicity-based systems which shows how desperately mankind is in need of a system based on education, openness, group involvement and patience. Robert: The International Court of the League of Nations did rule for the Baha'is in the case of the seisure of Baha'u'llah's house in Baghdad, but allowing the situation served the regime's interests, just as the esteemed Mr. Soltani has said of the holding of these seven innocent people in unhealthy conditions for over a year and a half without legal process.

I hope with all possible hope that Mr. Soltani 's assessments are correct and the opportunity for bail exists for the seven Baha'i who have been held in Evin for so long. We must greet the possibility of such an outcome with the full force of our optimism. I think we must also appreciate the undeniable greatness of such individuals as Mr. Soltani.
