Who would enforce International law when the law-enforces are themselves the culprits?

The issue of CIA operated detention facilities in Eastern Europe and Africa has been debated on numerous occassions over the past few months. Allegations have been raised against major European countries such as, Italy, Germany and UK -- the upholders of human rights-- regarding illegal abduction and transportation of many 'suspected' individuals. Recently, the European Parliament adopted a resolution condemning the member countries who were involved in covert CIA actions.

What does everyone think about it?
