a reasonable compromise proposal would be to replace the existing process with something that has a democratic mandate. these judges should be accountable to the people, not to head office.

you could set up a process where cases need to be put before regular judges, and subject to rigorous due process, by setting up an appointment process that is agreed upon by all three countries. so, a judge would potentially need to be approved by houses in all three countries. these would need to be learned judges, able to cite the laws and precedents in all three countries and able to come up with rulings that balance the interests of the laws in all three jurisdictions.

and, you're not going to figure that out by friday.

but, a good first step would be to throw the existing process out the window.
