They're threatening to move the NATO headquarters. Not because it poses a treath (NATO officials travelling to Belgium have immunity when they come here for NATO business. That's in the treaty), but because they want to put pressure on Belgium to lose the law.
And sure, we are responsable for the law. But the way I see it, there's no harm being done in filing these complaints. They will never go to trial - the system has a filter for bogus claims like these. These cases should ideally never even be in the media. I realise that's not realisic, though.
The real issue here is that the USA doesn't allow any kind of institution that can hold them accountable, should they commit a crime, to exist. Which leads me to believe they have butter on their heads. It also makes me sad that they can abuse their economic power to do this.
